b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.811 for Kare Plus Ashford, Folkestone & Hythe is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.811
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 Kare Plus Ashford, Folkestone & Hythe is based on 21 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.

Joined: 2018
I joined kare plus in April 2018 after raising my 5th daughter, she was 2 1/2 at the time. Previous to having her, I went to college to do level 2 in beauty therapy and went on to have my own mobile beauty business until a few months before my daughter was born. Hobbies I have when I have the time, I like sewing, made some clothes for my youngest in the past and other crafts, reading, spending time with family.

Job Title: Workforce Services Controller
Joined: 2019
I joined Kare Plus in October 2019 as a complete newcomer to the Healthcare industry. I have quickly learnt a lot about the vital work that we provide in and around the community. Before this I had worked in the events industry for 12 years, arranging both global corporate events and local private functions. Having experience where it is essential to be organised has certainly helped with my new career at Kare Plus as being on top of shifts coming in and organising our Healthcare worker's schedules takes a lot of planning. It is important to me that I maintain an excellent relationship with both our staff and our clients and have been working on developing these vital connections. When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with my husband and seven-year-old son Oscar, having adventures and spending time with our friends and family.
