Having had the experience of different agencies in the past, I am pleased with the care agency performance-wise. It's not only an agency and also are very caring towards my son - the client. I also appreciate the punctuality and efficient approach to us the clients. My feelings of a care agency are
proved by the carer towards my son and I appreciate it.

I have used the service for 2-3 years for my husband until he died recently and I have used it for myself sometimes since then. The staff member who comes is thoroughly reliable, knowledgeable and professional and I have every confidence in her.

The care offered to my mother in law has always been excellent. They kept us well informed of any concerns, dealt with issues as they arose; would do extra time when a problem occurred, e.g go round and give her lunch if she refused to go to the Day Club etc. We believed Mum was unsafe living alone,
but she didn't agree and could put up a very good act when social services assessed her. Eventually, a situation arose which made social services agree with us and then they wanted her in a home more or less immediately! Unfortunately, we were going on holiday and lived 2hrs away. We contacted the manager of Fortune Life and Mum's carer. They responded in a manner that went beyond the call of duty. The carer packed Mum's bag etc., took it to the home so social services could deal with the transition and generally supported us to make the necessary arrangements for as smooth a transition as this difficult move could be. Their help meant we went away with peace of mind.

Very friendly, efficient and professional. My dad was very well cared for and was sad to say goodbye when he was able to manage without them.

Fortune Life have been supporting my mother who is 93 and has dementia for a couple of years; they have always done an excellent job. We live 2 hours away from her, so if there is a problem or we are concerned about her, it is difficult to respond quickly. Her carer will always check things out for
us and generally keeps us well informed of any issues my mother may have. They are always prepared to go that extra mile to help her.
My wife and I went away for 3 weeks and we asked them to support her in any way that was necessary while we were gone. She did have some problems, but they were taken care of, so we had a stress free trip. Without the support of Fortune Life, looking after my mother would be so much more difficult, they are a life line!

Fortune Life have provided my father with excellent care. They were all kind, considerate, patient and always very willing to accommodate any requests or changes if possible. They also kept me well informed of my father's condition and were always happy to discuss any concerns. We're very sorry they
can no longer cover our area but would have them back any time. A wonderful service by very lovely people.

Fortune Life took on my wife's case in a very busy time around Christmas making it possible to bring her home from the hospital. Without this help, she would have stayed there longer and deteriorated further. With their help, she has improved quicker than we expected and there is hope for some return
to her old self. We will always be grateful for what they have done for us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Fortune Life Home Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • 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 4.806 for Fortune Life Home Care is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.806

  • 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 Fortune Life Home Care 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.
