The carers at Able Living are amazing. They really do care for and understand my dad's Alzheimer’s. The support they give enables him to get out and about and gives my mum some much-needed time for herself. We couldn’t do without them.

Reply from Sarah Wildon, Manager at Able Living Care Services Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words, it really is a pleasure to take your dad out, which in turn supports your mum.

My uncle has used this service for 12 months now and I can not recommend them enough. All the carers are lovely and my uncle is happy with them all. For me and the family, it gives us peace of mind that he is checked on each day by a friendly face. The communication, support and flexibility are outstanding
I would recommend this service.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Following a fall we felt that a daily visit from a carer would ensure that my mum could stay safely in her own home. This really was just to ensure she was up, dressed and has had her breakfast, with the added benefit of a nice chat. An online search gave me the details for Able Living Care Services
who then made an initial visit to discuss how to help. All the staff have been lovely and I'm sure a little patience was needed in the early days when this was a new routine for my very independent mum. During a phone call to me a couple of weeks ago Able Living suggested they leave something plated up for her lunch. We reviewed the times of the visits so that they could sort out a hot meal. This was a great suggestion and ensures that she is getting some hot food every day. I am very happy with the service of Able Living and more importantly, my mum enjoys their visits.

Reply from Sarah Wildon, Manager at Able Living Care Services Ltd

Thank you for your feedback, Lynda. I'm glad you and your mum are benefiting from our service.

My dad has had bathing/care and assistance once a day since February this year. We both are very pleased with the service provided as this enables him to be looked after in his own home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Able Living Care Services Ltd 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.930 for Able Living Care Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 Able Living Care Services Ltd is based on 21 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.
