Excellent staff, look after my stepson at School Aycliffe. They have been 100% which has made a big difference for us all. He has learned more life skills and they empower him to do more things for himself.

Yet another care company that takes you on when they are thinking about no longer working in your area. Five months in and a thank you and goodbye letter. One exceptional carer and an indifferent office that only cares about the bottom line. Their clients are actual people who take time to form bonds
with the carers who often are doing very personal care. These care companies need to imagine themselves in their client's shoes for just one day and how they would like it if they were dismissed in such an offhand way.
We need our care companies to remember why they were set up in the first place. To give our older members of society their dignity back. The constant handing back of packages through no fault of the client is not giving them the dignity and respect they deserve.

Reply from Hayley Haswell, Administrator at Embracing Care

We are as upset about this as are our service users. Unfortunately, staffing levels in this area have given us no choice but to withdraw the service.

Honestly just wow. The care my dad has received from day one has been amazing the care staff and office staff have gone above and beyond to care for my dad, they are all so friendly. The office staff are always on hand to speak to. Working in care myself I know the struggle to find a good care company
and this is definitely one of the best, keep up the hard work, you are all amazing and thank you for the care you deliver every day.

The girls do a fantastic job and as I have said for many years, carers should be paid a thousand pounds every week for the great work they do. Unfortunately with Embracing Care, the girls are let down by the management and the way the business is run.

Current Review Score: 7.1 (7.091)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.1 (7.091) out of 10 for Embracing Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.0 out of 5 from 1 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 4.091 for Embracing Care is calculated as follows: ( (8 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.091

  • 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 Embracing Care is based on 1 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 = 3

  • 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.
