Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic service from Real Care from the central office to the Care Assistants on the ground. They are responsive and act quickly if there are any issues. My sister enjoys their visits and trusts the supportive friendly carers (as do I).
Many thanks to the Real Care team for their excellent service.

Review from Lynn C (Daughter of Client) published on 17 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care that my mum receives from The Real Care Agency is second to none. The staff who go into her home on a daily basis are friendly, kind, caring and helpful. They go above and beyond to ensure her needs are fully met in a supportive and respectful manner.


Her care plan was recently completed

by a member of staff from the central team. There were many questions which ensured a comprehensive and detailed plan has been put in place. This plan will be reviewed again in 6 months. The staff member completing the plan was very knowledgeable and asked questions in a sensitive and respectful manner.


Just recently the company have moved to electronic recording of the care visits and an App has been introduced. This has been invaluable in enabling me to see who is visiting mum and being able to communicate easily if required.


If you are considering using The Real Care Company I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Reply from Suzanne Gribbon, Senior Care Officer at Real Care Agency

Thank you for your positive feedback regarding all teams, I will pass this on.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.750) out of 10 for Real Care Agency is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 4.750 for Real Care Agency is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 16 Ratings = 4.75
  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 Real Care Agency is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  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.
