Care Herts provided an excellent service for my uncle. From the outset, every effort was made to get to know my uncle and provide for all his needs. The communication with the office was excellent and staff were very professional and caring.

The carers are very kind and caring to my mum. They come twice a day. In the morning they ensure she has everything she needs for the day and evening they give her her meal etc. On top of personal care they do her laundry and ensure she has clean clothes each day. I am very happy with the service they
provide.

I have always been impressed with the service Care Herts supplied. They are a very caring and supportive company and showed my father dignity and respect at all times. They were very professional and answered all of our concerns. My dad who needed the care was very happy with them and that was the most
important thing to us.

In January 2020 my late father especially needed care four times a day, also checking on my late mother as well. The carers were fantastic with my dad. They treated him with respect, even though this was hard for my dad as he always wanted to do everything for himself and a very proud man. The respect
my father had for them showed as he even invited them to my granddaughter's christening that year. They even looked after my mum to ensure she had eaten or even to help with the collection of medication in an emergency. Each time we, as family members, met them they were polite and so friendly but also they knew their job, even when arranging the care we met the manager and some of the carers. I would recommend them with no issues, so impressed with how they looked after my parents with the respect. Thank you.

Reply from Randika Dissanayake, Manager at Care Herts Ltd

Thank you Stella. It was a very difficult time for everyone at the beginning of the pandemic, especially none of us knowing the scale of the pandemic and how it was going to impact us. We are ever so grateful to you and your family for the support we received during the time we were looking after your dad. Your mum was amazing and always there to make sure everything carers needed to provide good care for Dad was available. Extremely supportive. I will never forget the interesting conversations we had with your dad about his model car collection.
Thank you again.

I have been impressed with the quality of care provided by Care Herts. The carers were all very friendly but professional. They provided me with everything I needed, cooking, lifting heavy items or washing up. I would happily recommend them.

Very happy with the care my mother received following a long stay in hospital. From the start they were very professional and mum's carer was very warm and friendly and helped her recover from a traumatic stay in hospital following surgery. I would certainly recommend Care Herts as everything went very
smoothly right from the start and I know my mum will miss her visits now she has recovered. Should we need further care in the future I will certainly return to them.

Reply from Randika Dissanayake, Manager at Care Herts Ltd

Thank you, Karen. It was our pleasure to look after your mum and she is a wonderful person. And thank you for your support during the time and for being always available when we need to consult you.

I can only praise the team on how they approach and work with my father.
My father is very particular in his care and the team all take the time to ensure his care requirements are met.
Special thanks have to go to the manager. She is superb at her job and goes above and beyond her duty of care.
She
is truly invested in every individual and takes the time to make sure she delivers exceptional care to her clients.
All round I am very happy with the care offered and the team!

The manager and her team were excellent. From the minute she visited to assess my father’s needs I felt confident that he would be in good hands. The carers were all kind, considerate and most importantly happy when they visited. If, for unforeseen circumstances, arrangements had to change I was
always contacted to make sure the changes were agreed. Communication is usually the biggest problem for most organisations but not for Care Herts. I will definitely use them again.

After using several care companies I am now with one and I find them the best. After many years including a trip to the hospital, they have never failed to see me through it all without any complaint so it is so reassuring.

My mother is bedridden and has carers 3 times a day. Care Herts Ltd provide regular carers so that mum's care is provided by a small team of competent professional staff. Mum feels safe and secure and is very happy with the care provided for her.
The management are accessible, always helpful. I feel
Care Herts Ltd really put the service users first. We have employed 3 agencies previously and Care Herts Ltd is by far the better provider of care.

Care Herts have been looking after my mother for over five years, in that time I have always found the carers to be kind and compassionate and have treated my mother with dignity and respect. Management has always tried to cover the care needs for my mother including last minute requests. On the rare
occasions when problems arise, they are dealt with promptly and professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend Care Herts as a caring and professional care agency.

The carers are fabulous, caring, kind, consider my brother's needs and are patient. I did request by text and letter that we did not wish to have a certain carer. I was told that they would be sent if no other was available. I was told if this was not acceptable our care package would be reviewed! Management
do not listen.

I have been more than happy with the excellent service provided by Care Herts Ltd.
Their staff are caring, polite and considerate for my father’s daily needs. I am particularly indebted to the management also for their immediate responses to texts/emails and or telephone calls.
They are always
there in times of need which is so reassuring and such a relief as I live a fair distance from my father. I am very grateful to them.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.967 for Care Herts Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (29 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 30 Ratings = 4.967

  • 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 relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Care Herts Ltd is based on 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4.5

  • 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.
