I would like to thank the carers that came to care for my dad who passed away on 11th February. They were always kind, calm and gentle with dad whilst dealing with his needs. We are very grateful for the care that was given.

Regrettably, my mother has not had a good experience overall with the care provided. The main issue has always been timekeeping - regularly several hours late, which for a bedridden diabetic is not acceptable. Staff pouring faecal waste in the kitchen sink and placing yellow bags outside but not in
the yellow bin is unacceptable. Laughing staff when inappropriate. A concerned email was sent over 3 working days ago, but no acknowledgement has been received.
We are leaving this agency.

Reply from Norwyn Community Services, Norwyn Team at Norwyn Community Services

Thank you for the feedback. There were theething problems as this was a new client. Timing was an issue to start with but this improved with carers sticking to leeway times incase of delays. We investigated the issue, carers did not pour any faecal water down the sink and verbal feedback given to daughter. Our carers reported some forms of abuse, verbal and physical, which impacted on how they deliver care at times. As we could not meet required care needs, we handed in our notice.

Staff attended my father's home today where his wife is bedridden and when my father asked them if he should get the hoist to help lift her back into bed they refused and said he should call an ambulance. Frustrated by their lack of concern and compassion he ask them to leave. They found this funny
and laughing on the way out left the house. We recognise their staff do not have much time and probably get paid minimum wage. But why be in a job like this if you have no compassion and are happy to leave two senior people in a condition you would not leave an animal in.

Reply from Norwyn Community Services, Manager at Norwyn Community Services

We take all feedback very seriously we are very sorry that you feel the experience did not meet your expectations. However this matter was investigated and found to have some inaccurate information, all the same we strive to meet the care needs of all our service users.

Good service, early start for personal care, my mother is happy with the caring and friendly service. They wash and dress her, and help supervise their breakfast and medication taking. A daily record is maintained. They are very helpful and polite and are mostly on time each morning.

Mum needed the help of carers during the last months of her life. Norwyn provided this for her with dignity and kindness. Mum was a quiet and gentle lady and was always treated with respect and gentleness by the friendly staff who cared for her. The office staff were helpful and approachable. They were
flexible when it came to making any changes with our arrangments so that we always felt that Mum's needs were treated as their priority. I would definitely recommend Norwyn.

I needed urgent care the same day for my elderly mother and Norwyn were able to respond immediately. They came and did an assessment within a few hours and we managed to get an overnight carer for that night and then for the following week. They were excellent, always on time and looked after my mum's
needs.

The carers are polite, very caring and made me feel at home straight away. They always seem to have a smile on their faces, which puts one at ease and is really important to me. Nothing seems too much trouble to them and they always try to make you as comfortable as possible.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.557)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.557) out of 10 for Norwyn Community Services is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 3.957 for Norwyn Community Services is calculated as follows: ( (27 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 3.957

  • 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 Norwyn Community Services is based on 6 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 = 4.6

  • 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.
