Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you're finding the service "highly satisfactory". I noticed you scored us lower for 'management' so I'll ask one of the team to get in touch to see what we can do to improve this for you.

Like a number of our other clients, I'm pleased we're still able to support both Mum and you even though she's now in a care home.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.775) out of 10 for Home Instead (Edinburgh) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 59 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 58 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.775 for Home Instead (Edinburgh) is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.775
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 Home Instead (Edinburgh) is based on 58 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.
