People's safety is a priority and they receive consistent support from staff who knew them well.

Improved recruitment practices and well organised rotas meant staff are not rushed. They have good information about people's individual needs and guidance about how to minimise risk.

I was extremely grateful, to see how very happy and content my mum was during the period that her daughter was away on Holiday. This was due to the high level of care and attention she received during this period.

I have found Faiths Care very helpful and accommodating when looking after mum. All the carers are polite and do what needs to be done. Timings are generally prompt (exceptions are expected with traffic conditions).

Faiths Care offer outstanding service. Always available and any issues are dealt with smoothly and efficiently. Carers are kind, compassionate and supportive. They encourage my relatives and are always going over and above what is expected of them. The management team are very 'hands on' and always
ready help. They have a huge breadth of knowledge and are happy to share with service users and their families.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Faith's looked after Mum from the early stages when she needed just one care visit a day, providing basic care, through to her end-of-life care some months later.
The greater Mum's needs grew, and the more we as a family needed the right help in taking care of Mum, the greater Faith's responded to
those needs. In the last 3 months of Mum's life when she needed 4 care visits a day, with regular telephone calls to and from the family, the more the wonderful staff and management at Faith's responded. As NHS healthcare staff also became involved in Mum's end-of-life care, Faith's worked tirelessly to keep communication going smoothly, doing whatever was necessary to keep Mum safe and comfortable.
Faith's management and staff cannot be praised highly enough. I don't know how we would have managed without them. They became a lifeline for Mum and for the family. I shall always be grateful for the dedication, commitment and care they gave to us and to Mum.

I don't have any issues with my mother's care. I can honestly say she is treated with the upmost respect and always apply to her needs. A friendly and warm approach. Nothing is too much bother, very genuine and caring at all times.

Faiths carers provided care for my mother for several months. The carers who visited her were fab! So kind, friendly, professional and caring. She needed emergency assistance on a couple of occasions and the carers knew exactly what to do, remained calm and stayed with her until they knew she was cared
for, ensuring that other clients were attended to so that they could stay with her. No matter when I contacted the office I was always listened to and nothing was too much trouble. My mother was treated with dignity and respect, she really looked forward to their visits. We were very grateful for their care and love. Mum is now in a care home, she said the one thing she misses about being in her own home is Faiths carers. Thank you.

Reply from Faith Cook, Director at Faiths Care Ltd

Thank you for your glowing review. This means a lot and will make sure all staff are made aware and that your thanks are passed on. It was an honour to care for you mother. We will miss her. All the best for the future.

The carers are all lovely with my nan. The only problem we have come across is the visit times which are sometimes a lot later than my nan's visit slot.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Faiths Care Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.885 for Faiths Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 52 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 Faiths Care Ltd is based on 9 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 = 4.9

  • 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.
