We appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you are very happy with your regular carers. Your comfort and preferences are very important to us. Whilst it is in the overall interest of our services to ensure we employ a diverse workforce, we do not wish any of our service users to ever feel uncomfortable when receiving care. We will certainly take this into consideration when arranging care for you and have updated our records accordingly. Your feedback will help us enhance our services, as we work on improving our communication channels and ensuring that on the rare occasions that our carers are held up in an earlier call, we ensure all subsequent service users are kept up to date. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at quality@halesgroup.co.uk if you have any further concerns.

Reply from Nicola Mewse, Managing Director at Hales Home Care (Leeds)
Thank you for your review of the care received. We take all feedback very seriously. We are disappointed you did not feel able to discuss your concerns directly with the service during the brief period of care provided. We can see from the care records that you had previously been providing care for your Mum and arranged for provider support whilst you were on holiday. This will have contributed to your Mum’s reluctance to accept care and support, and the lack of familiarity your Mum had with the equipment necessary for professional care providers to use to safely lift and position service users. Our records show that a concern was raised regarding one incident of a wet towel via the social worker, however, unfortunately, this feedback didn’t reach us as a provider until after care had ended. I have referred to our digital records in which your Mum’s name is correct and we are not aware of any time that this wasn’t used. Male care staff, working as part of a female and male double up team, was explained during the commencement of the package of care, and at no time were male staff delivering personal care. Our records show that care, from female care workers, was refused on 7 occasions in the 7 days. We appreciate how unsettling the period would have been for your Mum, having not received care before from anyone other than family members, and particularly as you were not available to provide reassurance. Our records show that our care workers acted professionally in line with our policies, including requesting a healthcare referral where they had concerns as a consequence of care being refused. We do hope you and your Mum have now sourced suitable care provision for your needs.

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.369) out of 10 for Hales Home Care (Leeds) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 3.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 3.569 for Hales Home Care (Leeds) is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 3.569
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 Hales Home Care (Leeds) is based on 8 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 = 4.8
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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
I have worked in the care industry for 10 years.
I started off working as a care worker. I enjoyed working in this role, but I desired progression. I completed my NVQ 2 and 3 in adult health and social care.
Subsequently, I joined Hales and was promoted to Quality Assessment Officer, a position that I found truly fulfilling. I served in this role for 4 months. Later, I applied for the Care Coordinator position within Hales and was successful in my interview. I performed this role for several years, eventually becoming the Lead Care Coordinator.
Following this, an opportunity arose for the Deputy Manager role, and I applied for it. I was fortunate to be selected, and subsequently, the position of Registered Manager became available. I have been serving as the Registered Manager for Hales for 8 months now, and I genuinely enjoy my role. Currently, I am in the process of completing my NVQ 5.
Throughout my career, I have dedicated 6.5 years to Hales Home Care in Leeds, and I find great satisfaction in coming to work every day. In my leisure time, I enjoy going to the gym every morning before work, as well as spending quality time with my family. I have 5 children, 1 girl and 4 boys. Additionally, I am fond of watching soaps and indulging in captivating true stories.
Job Title: Quality Assessment Officer
I have been working in the care sector for 5 years. I initially started my career as a care worker, a role which I found fulfilling. However, I soon recognised an opportunity for advancement and decided to pursue the position of Quality Assurance Officer (QAO). I successfully went through the interview process and secured the role.
One aspect of my job that I particularly enjoy is meeting our service users for the first time and conducting assessments. In addition to these responsibilities, I also handle safeguarding, audits, CQC notifications, and various other tasks as part of my role. Every day at work is rewarding, and I have been with Hales for the past 5 years.
I have completed A-levels in Health and Social Care, achieving a B grade. I also studied Psychology. Outside of work, I have two children, a girl and a boy, whom I adore spending time with. My hobbies include swimming, spending quality time with my family, and going on holidays.
Job Title: Quality Assessment Officer
I have been working in care for 34 years. I began my journey as a care worker, a role that brought me great joy. For nearly 7 years, I have been working at Hales. Initially, I worked as a care worker for 6.5 years before deciding to apply for the Recruiter position. However, I soon realised that I missed the hands-on aspect of caring. Fortunately, an opportunity arose within Hales for a Quality Assessment Officer (QAO) role. I successfully interviewed for the position and I must say that I thoroughly enjoy my job, particularly interacting with our service users and conducting assessments. Furthermore, I have completed a Nursing Diploma to enhance my skills in the field.
During my leisure time, I enjoy going on holiday and spending quality time with my children.
Job Title: Care Coordinator
I have worked in care for 7 years, both as a Care Corker and a Care Coordinator. I have thoroughly enjoyed all my roles within the care industry.
During my time in college, I pursued aviation studies as I had a passion for travelling and desired practical experience in this field. Concurrently, I worked part-time at my previous company, where I developed a deep affection for the job.
Throughout my career, I have established exceptional professional relationships, and I eagerly anticipate daily interactions with everyone I encounter.
I always strive to assist to the best of my ability, and I maintain an open-door policy, welcoming any requests for help or support.
Job Title: Care Assistant
I have worked in the care field for 3 years as a Mentor/Care Assistant.
During a 5-month placement at a nursing home, I had the opportunity to collaborate closely with a Clinical Nurse Specialist, which allowed me to expand my knowledge in the field of Nursing. I love to help people where I can. I like a challenge.
I love to travel and spend time with my family.
