We highly recommend Heydays. Any contact over the phone was dealt with kindness, professional and friendly. Nothing too much trouble. The care staff are kind, and caring and go above and beyond. Mum was treated with dignity and good humour. They enabled mum to live in her own home until she needed full-time
care.

A very reliable care company. Staff are friendly and inform me if there is to be a change of day or time. I am fortunate - at the moment - that I require sitting and shopping service.

The team are all friendly and approachable. My husband enjoys chatting to them and having a laugh when they carry out his morning care. Having social visits does help to give him time away from home.
Having always been a very prude person, they go the extra mile to protect his dignity.
I appreciate
that there will always be staff with whom he may not get on with.

The carers looking after my late mum were such kind individuals, always looking out for mum's welfare and happiness and wanting to make sure she was in a good place before they left after each visit. Some would go the extra mile and just buy a product or item that mum needed, sometimes they stayed extra
time because mum may be anxious or had misplaced an item, making them a bit late for their next appointment, but they cared and didn't want to leave her alone until mum was settled. The whole team in Grange are very professional and work closely together to provide the best service. They really do care deeply about their clients and want to help them so much.

Not having a car and not being well especially in winter, the Tuesday calls are invaluable as are the cheery varied faces.

On his first visit, your carer was in the bathroom and watched how I got into it and then advised me of a much better and safer way. He repeated this on leaving the bath. This regular presence allows me to continue to enjoy a bath without perhaps slipping and hurting myself. A bath I much look forward
to! He also washes my hair! Much better than doing it over the sink!

Heydays is a fantastic care company. My Mother receives top class care every morning and her carers go above and beyond the call of duty. I cannot praise enough the undivided care and attention her main carer gives her. Nothing is too much trouble for Heydays carers and it's the little extras they provide
that makes them so special. Thanks to you all.

Excellent experience: been helped to travel to and fro to lunch club and also to and fro for nailed to be varnished. Help given to use my computer and also to help my husband to get our TV's on and working. Carers go out of their way to sort out any problems I might have. Anu extra shopping needed they
will try to get us. All carers are welcome and kind and supportive.

I find all the carers and staff at Heydays care are all very good and caring. I see quite a few of Heydays staff, and they always treat me with friendliness and care. I feel very well looked after. They will take me to the dentist or the optician and are always willing to oblige if my needs change.

Generally a good level of service. Reliable and always willing to talk through and address any issues.
Some carers' standards are not up to scratch, however, the majority are.

Reply from Kelly Shaw, Owner at Heydays Care and Support Services Ltd

Hi S, thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you feel not all carers work to a high standard as we always try to deliver a high service, if you would like to call the office I would be happy to discuss this with you.
Kind regards,
Kelly.

Carers are efficient and almost always professional, lovely to have a conversation with, good fun. Occasionally one or two carers assume too much resulting in having to do things twice. Most of the time carers are very good at using their own initiative to good effect.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.875 for Heydays Care and Support Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 Heydays Care and Support Services Ltd is based on 12 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.
