Totally Living Care was started with the goal of improving the quality of care available to people in their own homes. With a wealth of experience, the team provides a wide range of services including, but not limited to, personal care, help with day-to-day tasks such as preparing meals and cleaning and medication prompting.

Whatever the needs of each individual, Totally Living Care can accommodate them to ensure they remain as independent as possible and can continue living in the comfort of their own homes.

Should a service user need help with transport, Totally Living Care can help with that too. Additionally, the company offers hospital to home assistance to provide peace of mind when transitioning from the hospital to home, including pet care, supervision of discharge arrangements and transport to the home.

We use both evening call and sitting service. My husband has advanced dementia but reacts well to the care staff and is easier and manageable. All staff are helpful, cheerful and friendly, and in difficult times, a welcome sight!

Extremely well-managed company. Staff always available to contact with queries in the office and always respond promptly. Carers are supportive, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to support the client and family. Communication regarding care support is very good. Like the fact that the
rota is sent in advance to family and client.

I have been using Totally Living Care as a care company for at least the last five years. The carers are very caring and provide me with dignity and care. I could not manage without them. The carers are very friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that life for me is as normal as possible.

On the whole, I have been pleased with the service - sometimes the washing up is a bit slipshod.

Most of the carers are good but the older the better and they are better at ironing and we have more in common. The younger, the worse they are at housework.

I am very pleased with all the carers who call to see my husband. They are all very kind and spend time to talk to him. I cannot find fault with all that you do.
Many thanks to you all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.808 for Totally Living Care is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 99 Ratings = 4.808

  • b) 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 Totally Living Care is based on 17 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
