I am pleased with the service as it reduces the frequency of hospital visits which can be long and tiring. Being visited at home is ideal because of my poor mobility. I was made to feel at ease and received good care.

Following my mother's discharge from the hospital, a package of care was put in place starting the next day, this care/support has been provided by Rumax Ltd. We had a very thorough assessment visit by their staff. The carers visit my mother twice a day 11:00 am in the morning and 17:00 in the afternoon,
a family member is present when they are here and the young ladies that provide the care/support for Mum are very professional and punctual. They help wash and dress my mother and look after her as if she is their own mother. Lovely staff and a pleasure to welcome them into the house.

The home care provider had contacted me in advance to arrange a suitable day and time to visit.


The home care provider arrived at the appointed time, introduced herself and explained the format of the visit including conducting questionnaires, performing tests and taking of swabs.


The visit was

conducted as outlined above, at all times I had complete confidence in the Home Care Provider. The visit was completed efficiently and within the time frame discussed at the outset of the visit. At all times the visit was conducted in a friendly, polite and mutually respectful way.

My mum has been having care since her strokes.
At first it was difficult for my mum and my dad to adjust to having care as she was so independent before the strokes. Since we had a family meeting with the care company, we have had no problems. They have been so supportive.
My mum seems a lot happier
and is always telling me how nice they all are.
I get a text to let me know about her medication being low so I’m able to request them before she runs out.
Well done and thank you to you all, you are all amazing.

Reply from Maxwell Masuku, Director at RUMAX Ltd

My nurse was very nice and treated me well. Personal protective equipment was used correctly. Unfortunately, a lot of things went wrong but as far as I can gather nothing to do with the nurse. A courier arrived late with the equipment needed minus the dry ice. This had to be arranged for a later time
which originally was 2 hours later which then turned into 4 hours later by notification but in total, it was 4 and a half hours later when it finally arrived. Nurse was patient throughout. Thank you.

Reply from Maxwell Masuku, Director at RUMAX Ltd

We appreciate your feedback, and we're glad to hear that your nurse provided excellent care and used personal protective equipment correctly. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the issues with the equipment delivery, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to experience such delays.


We take your feedback seriously and will work to improve our equipment logistics partners and delivery processes to prevent such delays in the future. We're pleased to hear that your nurse remained patient and attentive throughout this challenging situation.


Thank you for acknowledging the dedication of our healthcare professionals. Your well-being is our top priority, and we're committed to providing you with the best possible care.

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 4.759 for RUMAX Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.759

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for RUMAX Ltd is based on 55 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.
