Medway Care has provided an excellent companionship carer for my mum. They were quick and efficient at finding a suitable carer and provided great value for money. I would highly recommend Medway Care. They are polite and helpful when I have had any queries regarding their service.

Review from Brian D (Friend of Client) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found the company easy to contact and liaise with. The service I was looking for is quite specific, namely a walking companion, and the carer showed an understanding of what this would require in terms of my friend's needs. They have continued to be receptive to the needs of my friend and have
adapted to any change of circumstances or conditions. I have access to the notes on visits via an app which provides me with easily accessible feedback.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Medway Care Services responded extremely quickly to our request for help with temporary sleepover carers for my mum who was becoming confused and at risk at nights due to developing dementia. The managers were extremely helpful with advice and suggestions for ways to care for mum. They set up a family
app so that we could quickly deal with any issues arising and giving us reassurance while abroad that mum was safe and well cared for at nights. The carers quickly established a good rapport and were very patient, good humoured and kind with mum, and diligent in keeping in contact, seeking guidance from family and/or managers appropriately when necessary.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.957 for Medway Care Services is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.957
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Medway Care Services is based on 4 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 = 4.25
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
