St Margaret’s provides a professional standard of care. Carers are friendly and attentive to my brother's needs. They provide a good system of communication and feedback to ensure his needs are met and important information is exchanged between carers, family members and other agencies.

St Margaret’s started by doing lunchtime visits for my aunt, but as her health deteriorated, and this gradually increased to 4 times daily care visits until her death earlier this year. Many times the carers went above and beyond to help my aunt.
At all times, the staff were friendly, polite and helpful,
and any problems that occurred were sorted immediately. Although the carers were always professional, they became like members of the family, and my aunt loved them all and looked forward to their visits.
I would not hesitate to recommend St Margaret’s Homecare Harrogate.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for St Margaret's Homecare Harrogate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.938 for St Margaret's Homecare Harrogate is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 St Margaret's Homecare Harrogate is based on 14 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.
