Since Home's Best Ltd came into our home on 19/11/24. We have had very good care and help and lots of support to my husband, who has terminal cancer. Also, lots of support to myself for them being there. All are doing a wonderful job. Thank you all very much.

Reply from Geraldine Brewis, Registered Manager at Home's Best Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a joy to care for your husband and to work alongside your wonderful family. We are grateful to have been able to provide support during this time, and we deeply appreciate your trust in us.

A company which puts the word 'personal' into 'personal care'. Not only those who come out a number of times a day to look after my wife, but everyone else who works for the company; and that goes for the owner herself. Every promise made in our initial meeting with the owner has been kept and I know
that my wife feels she has landed on her feet with Home's Best. And if she is happy, I certainly am too, as I know she is receiving the very best level of care around. Relatively small gestures such as presents at Easter and Christmas, plus a birthday card, makes service users feel part of the family. Long may Home's Best continue to prosper. I can't recommend them enough.

The staff of Home's Best deserve high praise indeed. They first visited our home in April 2023 when I was caring alone for my disabled mother whose health was deteriorating. She is now in a nursing home but the help from Home's Best has given to us over the last few months has been invaluable.
All
the staff are professional, efficient and extremely kind. The standard of care Mum received was exemplary and we cannot thank them enough. We have no hesitation in recommending Home's Best for your care.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, it has been a pleasure caring for your mum. She is already very missed here by all of us but we are glad she is now settled in her new nursing home.

My Mum is new to Home's Best and has daily carers each evening. She has built up a fantastic relationship with all the staff and loves her visits. they are a very caring, enthusiastic, reliable and trusting team. When they have finished their tasks they spend their allotted time chatting to my Mum,
this has alleviated my Mum's symptoms and mood. She also has started to attend the hub two days a week which she loves. The staff go above and beyond my expectations. It takes the pressure off as I know she is in a happy and safe environment with a nutritious lunch, stimulating activities and transport.

I have been having mainly elder carers until this month when a younger lady was introduced into my team. Initially, I was worried that things might not be the same, but I was wrong! I love my team, all of them. They treat me with respect, whilst at the same time having a laugh! I have young men in my
house walking around, but the ladies always maintain my dignity! They genuinely are so caring and thoughtful. I also needed to cancel one of my calls, as I had a family event, and it was really easy to ring in to let Home's Best office know.

I am very pleased with the level of care my friend has received from Home's Best. I have spoken with the excellent carers on many occasions relating to my friends care plan and they have always been knowledgeable, helpful and gone above and beyond. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Home's Best to anyone
who needs a friend, family member or loved one to be cared for in their own homes.

The support staff have built good trusting relationships with both my Mum and Dad. Sadly my Mum passed last year, but it was a comfort to know at the time she had the best care from her carers who often when above and beyond to meet her daily needs. The same carers have continued to support my Dad not
just physically but emotionally and they have taken time to get to know the family. The support from the Home’s Best carers is invaluable they are central to keeping my Dad safe and comfortable in his own home.
My only concern is that not all the visits are being undertaken within the full allocated time slots. However when it has been necessary they have stayed longer to manage situations and emergencies.
I have and will continue to recommend Home’s Best for excellent services, the care team supporting my Dad provide him with all the care he needs.

Extremely happy with the care provided to my mother. The carers go the extra mile in all that they do, are totally trustworthy and are now regarded as friends as well as carers.

My wife came out of hospital for palliative care with family and Homes Best providing the same people where possible.
This enabled my wife to make some form of recovery which was very unusual according to the hospice. Homes Best are continuing to keep her as healthy as possible within her limitations.
Thank you Homes Best for keeping her alive.

When one gets to old age, friends and family are lost. Home's Best has given me care, friendship and family. Care in more than bodily needs but connection to the outside world in conversation. The carers care and help in any way they can empathetically and without judgement.
Home's Best has been set
up by the manager to be the best and it is the best.

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 4.830 for Home's Best Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 53 Ratings = 4.83

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home's Best Ltd is based on 8 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 = 4.8

  • 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.
