The assistance we received from the manager when we initially called was excellent and really helped us out of a challenging situation in setting up care for my Uncle. The manager went out of her way to help us and we received instant support that very day. We eventually only had carers going in for
a very short period and had it had a chance to bed-in I am sure the review would be equally good.

Having been with Royal Care since October 2022, I have nothing but the highest praise and kindness they have shown my mum.
It has been a difficult few months for both myself and my mum, without them I would not have coped. Thank you all so much.

All the carers were very gentle and kind to my dad and sensitive to his needs. It was always possible to get in touch with someone if there were questions or things that needed sorting out, and they went above and beyond to get things to work. It was such a hard time and so good to feel we weren't going
through it alone.

Very pleased with the service. All the girls are friendly and compassionate. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are very efficient and are dedicated to caring for my husband. I love the fact that you don't get lots of different people coming and going, you get a regular flow of carers that you
can get to know which is great for my husband to see the same lot of faces.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.155)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.155) out of 10 for Royal Care Ashford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 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 4.905 for Royal Care Ashford is calculated as follows: ( (19 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 21 Ratings = 4.905

  • 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 Royal Care Ashford is based on 4 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 = 4.25

  • 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.
