Helping Hands have always been caring, helpful, understanding, and kind in all ways, nothing is too much trouble for my carers. I have already recommended them to another client and would do so again. They treat me with respect and dignity at all times and will always put me at ease and try to make
me feel better if I am low.
They are fantastic.

I am a recently widowed man of 87 years. My daughter arranged for Helping Hands to attend once a week to clear up the mess she was sure I would make. She made a good choice for which I am grateful. Thank you all for caring, especially the lady who comes each week bringing a bright smile and a cheerful
chat. I look forward to it.

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 4.639 for Helping Hands Home Care (Taunton) is calculated as follows: ( (27 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.639

  • 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 Helping Hands Home Care (Taunton) is based on 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
