A particular staff member stayed for 24 emergency care with my father, my father's mood was uplifted by him and he really put my father at ease in these difficult times.
I am happy to endorse this staff member from NR Care as a great guy.

Reply from Ian Callam, Registered Manager at NR Care

After extensive research and taking into account the relevance for our needs, we selected NR Care for the palliative care for our mother. The management team were first class throughout, making a point of making a full assessment during their initial visit and making impromptu visits to my mother and
calling me as next of kin. Throughout the care staff however ranged from excellent (sensitive, kind and understanding) to indifferent (not respecting my mother's needs or home particularly well) If it wasn't for this one 'bad apple' I would have rated NR Care as excellent. The management team made sure they were at my mother's bedside while she passed away - amazing!

We appreciate your honest feedback and actions have been taken to address the individual in question. Knowing you and your siblings were not local it was our wish and duty to keep you informed along the way and to be with your mum in her final hours.

The carers we have now all display the most important quality needed-they care- conscientiously and genuinely. And on the few occasions when this has not appeared to be the case and the necessary rapport has not existed, appropriate action has been taken. The importance of following rules and procedures
and keeping good records is recognised but in a sensible and non-bureaucratic way. A similar positive attitude is taken towards training. The success so far of NR Care in providing a full complement of good carers at a time when supply is so problematic is the result of and a tribute to their good management and forward planning.

Reply from Rebekah Bedingfield, Director at NR Care

Waking nights were excellent giving me much-needed quality sleep.
Everyone arrived on time and looked after mum very well.
If mum had not gone into a care home in December I would still be using NR care.
Whenever I rang to change anything or ask for more help they went out of their way to try to
sort it promptly.

Reply from Rebekah Bedingfield, Director at NR Care

Many thanks for your kind words. We found it pleasure supporting you and your mum and we wish you well for the future.

Following a stroke and time in a rehabilitation hospital, I researched carers for my father to continue living at home. From the beginning, I found NR office and admin efficient, human and easily available. The carers are friendly, personal, on time and trustworthy. As his care need changed, so the
carers adapted. Helping my father to be as independent as possible, while keeping his dignity has been the most important thing, and NR Care has achieved this. Grateful and appreciative. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you.

Reply from Rebekah Bedingfield, Director at NR Care

Thank you for your kind words. It was a delight to look after your father and see him improve over his time with us. All the staff will miss visiting him, but you know where we are if ever he needs help.

NR Care's live-in carer provides respectful pro-active support to the client and supporting family. Nothing is too much trouble. Our main concern is that the carer has to be encouraged to take reasonable breaks for their own good. Our experience of the support we are getting is excellent.

Reply from Rebekah Bedingfield, Director at NR Care

Many thanks for your kind and positive words. We are pleased that our team are receiving such positive feedback and we will of course pass this back to the member in question.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.000) out of 10 for NR Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for NR Care is calculated as follows: ( (6 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 6 Ratings = 5

  • 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 NR 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.
