I highly recommend the team led by the manager. They went above and beyond to care for my late father. The team were kind, caring and compassionate towards all of his family. We would not have been able to keep my dad at home and honour his wish without them. I will never forget the amazing job they
did and how they became friends with Dad.
I am truly grateful for all your hard work and dedication. No words can thank you enough.

The care provided by Specialist Care Services has been excellent and I cannot fault them in any way. The two carers we have on a regular basis are friendly and very committed to their work and are a credit to the the company. They are very reassuring and helpful and also always go the extra mile if
needed. This is one of the main factors unique to this company, by having the same carers they get to know the patient really well and this has been the case with these two members of staff. They are always on time, and have never let us down. Obviously on their day off they have to be replaced, these carers too have been respectful and helpful, also friendly and have been flexible with their times. My husband is always very well cared for, always clean and to date have not had any problems with bed sores etc. My husband has had excellent care throughout and I would totally recommend Specialist Care Services to others, which I have done. I will sing their praises forever! Well done!

I cannot praise the carers from Specialist Care Services highly enough. From the moment they started to provide support to my brother, he really felt cared for and liked everyone who came to help him. He was treated so kindly by everyone, it was almost like family visiting rather than physical care.
I met most of the carers and it was nice to chat with each of them and see the friendly faces each time. I know my brother felt safe with all of the team. I especially would like to offer a special mention to the manager - she organised everything expertly and would often call in to check everything was ok. Whenever there was a change to the medication or requirements she was totally in control of everything to make sure nothing was missed. It was such a relief to the family to know he was in such good hands. As a family we can never express how grateful we are for the care that he received, but thank you so much from all of us.

I've had 3 care agencies in the last 3 years since I became sick. I'm now with Specialist Care, they are simply the best agency I've ever been with. My carers are always on time, very attentive, hard working and nothing is a problem to them. I simply couldn't live my life without them! I really look
forward to seeing them everyday because they are so good to me because of my disability! The boss of the agency is also fabulous too. Don't think about joining another agency because you deserve the best in your life and that's 'The Specialist Care Agency'. May God bless all the people who read this special message!

Specialist Care Services treated our dad with great care and professionalism. Their communication with us and record keeping was excellent. The staff were always cheerful and ensured that Dad was left comfortable before leaving.

Your staff definitely knew how to deal with the situation of end-of-life care. Knowledgeable/professional in every way/courteous and compassionate to the patient and her family. The carer organised their time around the patient's needs, covering a 12-hour day in the last days. The carer never complained
at all throughout her time visiting the home.

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 5.000 for Specialist Care Services is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 39 Ratings = 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 Specialist Care Services is based on 7 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 = 4.7

  • 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.
