At homecare.co.uk we take great pride in the quality and trustworthiness of our reviews.
Our review team have read every one of the 76,805 home care provider reviews before they were published on homecare.co.uk. The team performs a number of checks to ensure the reviews comply with our review policy.
If a home care provider has received one or more reviews in the previous 2 years, a homecare.co.uk review score (a circular icon similar to above) will show on its search result listing and on its profile page.
The review score ranges from 10 (best) - 1 (worst). The score's algorithm takes into account the quantity, quality and recency of a home care provider's reviews and ratings.
We hope it provides care seekers with a simple, but powerful 'at a glance' metric. However we recommend reading every review if interested in a particular home care provider.
