After my mum was diagnosed with cancer we started care with First Point 24. Mum really didn't want carers as she has always been very independent and she is only 67. However after a week of the carers coming in, mum couldn't believe how nice, friendly and helpful the carers are. We have been with
First Point 24 for 7 months now and can not fault the carers. They all go above and beyond and are so compassionate.

I think I miss even care in July 2022, following a number of different care providers. I have a very complex health history of which can be unpredictable in its nature.


Overall, the standard of care I have received from the company has been great Okera so friendly, well trained and knowledgeable.

They’re able to listen to my wishes and needs and wants and take these into account.


They have been some changes within the service in terms of the Carer’s that provide my support. However, the manager has taken into account my views wishes and wants in relation to this and tries to ensure my happiness and safety at all times.


They have been times when my care package has needed to increase at short notice to include nights support. This was done without any delay by the manager, and has continued forward for several months.


Thank you to everyone and keep up the good work

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 4.824 for First Point 24 is calculated as follows: ( (14 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 17 Ratings = 4.824

    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 First Point 24 is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
