I employed Caring lane to look after my elderly neighbour who suffers with dementia. I found all the carers very kind and genuinely caring even when her behaviour could be quite challenging. I especially appreciated the continuity of care for the twice daily visits, which I find is really important
for someone with dementia. The manager was always very responsive and supportive with any issues I had. I would definitely recommend this small agency.

I have been in contact with three girls since I started using Caring Lane about a year ago and I have found them all to be friendly and cautious. They are hard-working and they do whatever you ask them to do without any problems or arguments. I enjoy their company when they are here at my flat every
fortnight.

Everything has been very satisfactory, from the start. Family and I appreciate the care you and all the members of the team take to make me feel supported. When a new member of staff is introduced, they are shown what is involved beforehand, and any problems are dealt with promptly. All the Carers are

Caring Lane have been providing care for my elderly father who has dementia, since Jan 2024 as he was unhappy with his previous carers. My niece and I shortlisted 4 companies and interviewed all 4.
From the start, Caring Lane came out on top. The staff are warm and caring and always happy to go the
extra mile and provide the best care dad could wish for. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
Management are fab too. Quick response to any questions or queries via phone or email. Always happy to listen and help where they can. Available 24 hours a day. We, dad's family, are all very happy with the care dad gets from Caring Lane and to that end, would 100% recommend them to care for your loved ones. Thank you, Caring Lane. Amazing work.

My friend who suffers with end-stage dementia and whose care I help organise, has received daycare from Caring Lane for the past 5 years. The care provided has been consistently good, delivered with love and compassion. We've had the same group of staff caring for my friend throughout that time giving
the continuity and consistency of care my friend so needs with her condition. One of the best things about Caring Lanes is the quality and involvement of the management team. I always know if anything isn't going to plan in my friend's care, or if I have any concerns at all, including with outside agencies that a manager will step in to make sure the issue gets sorted. This has been an enormous source of support to me over the years.

My sister had been in hospital for ten weeks and then in a respite home for three weeks but was desperate to go back to her own home where she lived alone. When she first returned to her home, she was hardly mobile and had carers from Caring Lane three times a day. She quickly improved and they helped
her regain more mobility by taking her for short walks outside. She was gradually able to do more and more independently and now only has one carer a day, who helps her get up and washed and have breakfast. She can then cope for the rest of the day. The carers are just what the name implies - caring and concerned for my sister's wellbeing. I would not hesitate to recommend Caring Lane. It has helped my sister to retain her independence and to give me peace of mind knowing that someone sees and helps her every morning.

Thank you, our team work very hard to re enable our clients so that they can enjoy living in their own home, safely and comfortably. It’s a pleasure knowing we were able to do this for your sister.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Caring Lane 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.861 for Caring Lane Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.861

  • 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 Caring Lane Ltd is based on 24 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.

Following a tragic incident that left my brother paralysed, our family faced deep struggles to find trusted carers that met his needs. As a qualified nurse at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, I took on the role of delivering his full time care needs. The incident was the inspiration for the founding our company and enabled the birth of Caring Lane Ltd. Our experiences and core values show we are more than just a care agency; we are a family.
