Funding & Fees Guide for Alina Homecare Winchester & Basingstoke

  • Prices
  • We pride ourselves on providing excellent quality Home Care at competitive prices.
    The costs of Home Care will vary depending on the type of care you need, how often you need it, and where you live. We offer everything from short visits to 24 hour Live In Care. If you have more complex needs, you may need two Home Carers per visit, so we can provide a cost for this too.
    Live-in Care is generally considered to be a cost effective alternative to living in a care home, whilst still providing a level of independence. Everyone’s needs are different so the costs of Live-in Care can vary depending on the level of care required. Unlike other Home Care options, the costs of our Live-in Care remains the same wherever you live across the South of England.
    We adapt our Home Care services to suit your specific requirements. Our Home Care costs include a personalised care plan, ensuring your care suits your needs, wishes and budget.
    We want to make arranging Home Care as simple and easy as possible. When you contact your local Team, we’ll work with you to design a customised care plan. Once you choose our service, your care plan is kept under constant review so that it continues to suit you.
    Your home. Your care. Your choice.

I have used Alina Homecare for six months and find it excellent in every way. The carers are just great - very helpful and really happy in their work.

I was very concerned about my husband's frailty (4 falls in 6 months). After using another service, we have used Alina Homecare Basingstoke. Very pleased and relieved for the service provided once a more regular time is arranged for weekend care, there will be no complaints made. The manager came and
I expressed my concern which she accepted. Thank you to the staff of Alina Homecare Basingstoke.

My mum only had them for two weeks, the first week was not too bad but the second week the carer was training someone. All they did was wash her hair in the kitchen sink and then sat around talking about their love life. My mum is 86, what does she want to hear about that for? Then we had an invoice
charging us more for them to sit around doing nothing. So we are not happy, I did phone and tell them to cancel. Please do not go with them, there are better ones which we have found and cheaper.

Reply from Jayne McGann, Marketing Manager at Alina Homecare Winchester & Basingstoke

We are extremely saddened and disappointed to read this review. We have spoken to the client's family and expressed our sincere apologies. We do not believe that this experience is reflective of our usual excellent service where high quality and compassionate care is delivered as noted in our recent CQC Report. We have reiterated to the branch team our expectation of professionalism at all times.
We are an organisation which prides itself on integrity and transparency and we believe it is of the utmost importance to accept and learn from times when we should have done much better.

We send our very best wishes to both the reviewer and her mother.

Having just got used to the carers, it is a shame to see that some of them are leaving, but this is no fault of Alina Homecare. The carers have always treated me with respect and helped me keep my dignity. They have always been very professional and wore aprons and gloves. They are always prompt on
time and they take care with my personal things. I will be sad to see some of them leave.

I have been with Alina Homecare for 6 months. Since then my circumstances and care requirements have changed dramatically. Alina HC has done everything possible to meet my needs and provide me with a brilliant customer service. They are flexible and agile to no end with sometimes very little notice.
The PAs are brilliant. I am used to hiring my own personal assistants and the main PAs that support me are people that I would hire myself. I have been with a number of care agencies over the last 15 years and I haven't been treated as well as I have over the last 6 months. Alina Homecare treat me as a customer and not a service user. When I think where the agency can improve, I honestly cannot think of anything. Thank you very much to all the staff.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 Alina Homecare Winchester & Basingstoke is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 65 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 Alina Homecare Winchester & Basingstoke is based on 11 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.
