I am next of kin to a very elderly godmother who lives over a hundred miles from me. She is receiving the most amazing end-of-life care from Serve Homecare. The teams visit her four times a day and are so very kind. Whenever I turn up, my godmother looks so comfortable, very clean and tidy. There is
always a warm drink plus water in front of her. It gives me peace of mind that she is so well looked after when I can't be there.
The team leader rings me to keep me updated, which I very much appreciate.

Excellent overall communication from the company. My father is happy with the carers who visit. They spend time chatting with him, preparing a meal and ensuring he takes his medication - everything we have asked them to do. Initially, we had a small issue with carers arriving earlier than agreed meaning
his evening meal and medication were given too early. But after a discussion with the company, this has settled down now.

I am pleased to say my uncle has improved slowly over the last few months, and we have been able to reduce the twice-daily visits to once a week for shopping and cleaning of his home.
Serve Homecare provided my uncle with the critical support required when he was discharged from the hospital, as he
was totally unable to look after himself. His food was provided outsourced daily. Serve Homecare has been very accommodating and understanding as his needs changed.

We are very happy with the care that they give my mum, very efficient, caring, friendly, chatty, and gentle (as she has a condition that's prone to bruising and cellulitis). Also, it would be nice to get the odd phone call or text if the carers were running late (especially the morning visit).

My father receives care four times a day - he requires two carers per visit; all the care staff are friendly, professional, respectful, helpful and have become like family.
I would say they are well worth the money as it allows my parents to be together in their own home. My father requires personal
care, and the carers use a hoist to transfer my father from bed to chair and vice versa.

We have been very satisfied with the care and attention given to us while looking after my husband. Nothing is too much trouble, and he loves two members of staff especially.

Good care, pleasant, cherish carers. You have provided me with care for nearly a year - no complaints. Still no roster - care visit times vary. Have to keep phoning to get visit times. Would prefer my three visit times - 7.30 - 8.00 am, 1.00 - 1.30 pm and 8.00 - 8.30 pm. Thank you.

We have been using Serve Homecare for the past eight weeks to look after my mum after she had a very nasty fall and was bedbound. The care that she has received has been fantastic. All of the carers treat my mum with care and compassion. Nothing has ever been too much to ask. I would have no hesitation
in recommending them to anyone that requires carers, either for themselves or a loved one.

Serve Homecare has been looking after me since I became bedridden. I have always found them to be kind, caring, friendly and very efficient. The office staff are helpful and easy to contact. When district nurses or GPs visit, they have commented on the high level of care given to me and myself, and
my family are very happy with all the staff. I feel safe and well cared for; they talk to me and listen to me, and will always have a smile. I am happy that they will take the time to make sure we as a family are all ok.

Generally, my carer arrives on time, though recently, there have been a number of unexpected changes, and I become anxious on the occasions when I don't know who's coming or the carer arrives late (though usually a reason given). I like the people I have had from Serve Homecare; they are always happy
for me to explain what I like or need them to do. Although I am deaf, I can usually understand what they say. I certainly plan to stay with Serve Homecare.

I have been with this company for nearly a year after having a bad fall down the stairs. We have found all the carers that have attended have been very friendly and courteous; they have treated me with respect and dignity. I used to have four calls a day with two carers each time, but now I only have
two calls, one in the morning to help me wash and dress and one in the evening to get ready for bed. I would recommend this company; they are all very good.

My mother has a carer visit every morning to help her with personal care. We could not be more pleased with the service Serve Homecare have given us. The young ladies are all cheerful, efficient, and willing to help in any way necessary. They care about their service users. We, as a family, are grateful
for the service they provide, as it gives our mother extra support each day.
The manager is always available when we ring, and the staff at the office are very pleasant.
We highly recommend this company.

I have had carers since 2003, and Serve Homecare are the most competent carers I have had. They arrived with a smile every day and provide my personal care with dignity and a higher level of care; they then provide domiciliary care and go above and beyond my requirements.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Serve Homecare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.695 for Serve Homecare is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 302 Ratings = 4.695

  • 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 Serve Homecare is based on 50 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.
