The carer is always punctual, helpful and of a cheery disposition. He takes his responsibility seriously and always with consideration for his client. He is respectful, takes pride in his work and does a good job.

I couldn't be with a nicer group/team which you have provided for us.
They have been so clean, polite and friendly and also, which is so important, they give time to the patient and they are very friendly and warm. It's a pleasure to have them in our home.

I am happy with the carers who come to me. One staff member in particular is very helpful and supports me to get on with my life. Another staff member comes here every Monday on the first carer's day off. She is also very good. The only problem for me is that one and a half hours a day is very short.

The prescribed care has made a huge difference in terms of the respite the family members need. They are young lads and shine mostly in helping the client to get changed and be transferred using the Sara Steady. As women, we are the family members who help the client in an appropriate way when he is
still and needs extra leverage to get up from his chair (tends to have no energy in his legs even when positioned behind his nose) but the carers are not able to help him up at all. Showering has not been a daily task yet either. After they arrive the client becomes incredibly stiff and drowsy we are trying to find out what causes this symptom. The carers have been outstanding in their promptness and medication administration. They are on time and very friendly. There are big positives along these habits.

Exceptional Care at Home provided an NHS 6-week post-operation care service for me at home after I broke my hip, mid Nov 2023. There was a main carer and a stand-in for days-off. I am used to caring for myself, but my split-level living space made it impossible for me to carry food from the kitchen
and move about easily.
Both carers provided excellent service, preparing 2 meals per day and doing some shopping for food as needed. The main carer performed laundry and linen changing and both took care to keep my space clear of clutter and dust. They would have done more but I was modest in my requests. The main carer even gave me a birthday card, chocolates and flowers on the relevant day, which pleased me greatly.

This agency really lives up to its name. My son has had carers in the past but this is the first time he is truly happy and content. They are truly carers in the literal meaning of the word. All the carers involved with my son go over and above what is required of them and I couldn't be happier. I can
go about my day without a care in the world because I am confident in knowing that he is well cared for.

The carer is very caring and has brightened up Mum's world!
My mother looks forward to each visit. They show us what a great difference a really good care service can provide. It is not easy to energise and stimulate a 99-year-old and help Mum to think being alive is worthwhile, but this is a big success
and Mum is now sketching again. Mum loves her and she is interested in our family and the carer uses photographs to stimulate memories.
Always willing to do what is asked and often without being asked, and especially good with personal care.

The carer is very nice to my mum and mum is always looking forward to seeing her. She listens to corrections and pays attention to details. What I like about her most is she is always on time and never in a hurry to leave. She gives my mum respect and always has something to chat about with her.

Kind and gentle carers. Helpful and treated my grandparents with dignity in their own home. Very friendly and understanding of my nan having dementia. Calm and quiet and would choose to be cared for by them. One staff member in particular is so lovely. Thank you very much.

My husband was looked after by a particular member of staff and he was wonderful to my husband who died on 10/09/23. My husband only listened to the carer and he always looked forward to seeing him. He was so kind and gentle with my husband and he was always so interested in how we were getting on.
I cannot begin to say how amazing my husband's carer was.

The care we have received from "Exceptional Care At Home" has been exceptional. My husband has been treated with the utmost respect and has been looked after amazingly well. I am so grateful to all the carers who looked after him and I thank them profusely. They were great guys!

The team are always on time, happy and helpful. They make my mother comfortable and are always very friendly. Well done to her carers, you are stars. My mother likes the team; today is my mother's birthday and they were very thoughtful, bringing a card and balloon.

This man has been my personal carer for more than a month. Since his first appearance, he has been diligent, helpful, prompt and exceptional. He has always been nice and kind to me. I would not wish for any other carer to look after me. He can only be described as the best carer there is.

Our carer is an extremely caring person who helps us each day with things that need to be done around the house that we can't do ourselves. She is polite and goes above and beyond what she needs to do. Very well-mannered and she makes us happy.

I cannot fault any of the care team or the management and my family agree. Everyone who comes to attend to me is kind, considerate and polite. They always ask for permission if they have to use something. Nothing is ever too much effort.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Exceptional Care at Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 56 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 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 4.784 for Exceptional Care at Home is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 329 Ratings = 4.784

  • 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 Exceptional Care at Home 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.
