Thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear your mum gets on well with the carers and they carry out the jobs with efficiency and politeness, and that she looks forward to their visits. As you have said, holiday and sick leave cover, as well as other unpredictable circumstances such as car problems, can increase the amount of carers your mum sees, especially with a female-carer only, 3 visits daily package of care. However, all of our carers wear ID badges to help people recognise their names, and our client portal can help clients and/or advocates to see their rota live. Thank you again!

Thank you for your lovely review. Your godmother is a wonderful lady and a pleasure to visit, and we are very happy to know she feels respected and dignified. Staffing 4 daily calls in a far-out area can be difficult at times, although we always try our best to ensure she has her regular carers as much as possible. Thank you again!

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.670) out of 10 for EDS Homecare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.670 for EDS Homecare is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.67
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 EDS Homecare is based on 48 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.
