Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The manager and her team began visiting my parents after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. My mum was an extremely reluctant care user and it took some time to gradually gain her trust and confidence. Eventually they required visits three times a day as the disease progressed. The carers were very patient
and courteous at all times and adapted well to my parents preferences. The manager was very approachable and quickly responded to messages when my parents' needs changed. She and other members of the team were good at finding solutions to their increasing care needs and on many occasions went above and beyond to resolve problems as they arose. Thank you for helping my parents to live independently at home for as long as possible.

Absolutely outstanding company, the way they treat their service users is second to none. The staff are all amazing, friendly, kind and caring people. They all have a heart of gold. The manager is very much out there and involved with each service user so she has hands-on experience to ensure they are
each getting only the very best care.
Care Owl you are nothing short of a 10/10.

Two sides to Care OWL: Friendly knowledgeable carers. Generally a good standard of care for three-plus years for mother with Alzheimer's. Problems with the behaviour of manager/owner: Refusal to include me in discussions/decisions. Refusal to make mother's care plan and risk assessment available to
me or other professionals. Made abusive, unfounded accusations about me when I complained about the above to the LG H&SC Ombudsman - who then found in my favour. Failure to respond to phone calls/emails - even from Ombudsman. Refusal to meet me either to discuss Mother or the manager's apparent problem with me, with the view to resolving difficulties.
There is no Power of Attorney for Mother and I spent ten hours a week caring for her. My exclusion, therefore, did not benefit Mother and was not in her best interests. It was unprofessional and caused me much distress, when I could have been a positive contributor to Mother's care package.

Reply from Suzanne Willis, Care manager at Care Owl Ltd

After any internal and external investigations, this review of your recollection of events is very different to mine.
I thank you for the 4 stars for staff and the care support as I was very much a part of the care team going in, if not most days, every week to care for your Mother, updating her care frequently on her ever-changing care and support needs.
The Care Plan and Risk Assessment were written in by yourself and others proving it was there in the property at all times.
On the times we found that you had to leave earlier than planned we were always happy to be there for your Mother as quickly as possible to provide the continuous care and support she so needed.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.000) out of 10 for Care Owl Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.0 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Care Owl Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (6 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 6 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Care Owl Ltd is based on 1 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 = 3

  • 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.
