Good morning Varsha.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am sorry we only got to visit and get to know your mum for a short while, but if we were able to support you and the family in finding the best way forward for her to keep her happy, safe and healthy that's brilliant and I am so glad we could help. Having the stress removed from you as a family so you can enjoy the time spent with Mum without worrying about extraneous factors is so precious and I know SCV will support you to do that when Mum arrives and settles in. I will ask for regular updates.
Please don't hesitate to contact us in the future if you need a chat, we will be here.
Very best to you all
I will pass your lovely feedback on to the team.

Good morning Margaret.
Thank you so much for your very kind words and I am so sorry I have not been able to respond before now.
Sadly your circumstances have changed somewhat since you left this, but it was a joy and a privilege to care for your husband, we had such as giggle and he also offered such wise counsel to me at times, having known each other for a number of years.
We remember him (and the twinkle in his eye) with love. Please do not be a stranger. Always feel you can pick up the phone if you need to.
My very best to you all,
Liz.

Good morning Alison.
Thank you for this. My apologies for the delay in responding to your very kind words.
Your mum is an absolute delight to care for. She brightens our day tremendously and we are all so fond of her. When we visit, we start to chat and get quite carried away with the 'little things' such as cups of tea which are hugely important in maintaining a client's choice of routine and independence, and we will do whatever we need to, to preserve it.
thank you again,
Best wishes.

Good morning
Thanks so much for these kind words and so sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you.
I know Mum has a really close relationship with some of our team, but when the rest of us are allowed to get a look in, we love to visit and chat. Your mum has so many amazing stories!
I hope that our presence there continues to bring support and reassurance to you and your family in the knowledge we will do whatever we can to keep her safe and well at home for as long as possible.
In the meantime, thanks again.
Best wishes,
Liz.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It is an absolute pleasure and a privilege to be able to care for your father. To witness his positive progress everyday is so rewarding. He brings a smile to our face everyday with his wicked sense of humour! He is doing so well, you won't need us soon. I will be sure to pass on your comments to the senior care manager, who does indeed deserve huge credit for the care she has provided. We are so fortunate to have her on the team. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can help you any further.
With Best wishes, Liz and Lapis team.

Thank you, Jill, for your very positive comments. To know it is due to our teams support, that your mum can stay at home; makes our jobs all worthwhile, especially on days that are more of a struggle during the ongoing pandemic. With consistency, I know the team that go in have all built a lovely working relationship with your mum and we all feel privileged to be part of her ongoing care.

Hello, your mum was a joy to care for and the whole team are very fond of her. I am so pleased that you found our care so supportive, it's why we started Lapis. We are incredibly sad that we no longer have the privilege of caring for her but we are reassured that she will be well cared for, safe and well in her new home. Additionally the peace of mind this will give you is no small thing. We wish you all well. Best wishes, Liz and team.

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Lapis Care 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.955 for Lapis Care is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 88 Ratings = 4.955
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 Lapis Care is based on 15 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.

One of the things that stands out at Lapis is the support given by the Management Team. Graeme is a qualified Accountant and has always supported Lapis behind the scenes however, due to pressures during the COVID outbreak, he has been delivering Care ever since. He enjoys contact with both clients and staff and is always on hand to step in to support staff when they stay with clients if issues need resolving. He has also lifted spirits by taking Alfie the Cockerpoo on occasional visits!
