Mum's carers were kind and considerate and trustworthy.
Always ready to help her whatever her needs always careful of her dignity.
Gave medications and pain relief as prescribed and foresaw problems and advised the family when necessary.
Tried to tempt her to eat and to provide suitable nourishment
as often as possible.
Worked well with other health care visitors.
Mum's carers became friends.

I have been very pleased with the service I have had from all the carers. They have always been kind and helpful to me and I would recommend them to everyone. I know that one staff member, in particular, is on the other end of the phone if I have a problem although it hasn't been necessary for me to
call him.
I would be happy to recommend this company for the excellent care I have received. Thank you to all my carers.

I have found this to be the most helpful and kind agency I have dealt with. The manager and his team dealt with my father's issues and queries quickly and professionally. My father was not at all receptive to having care, but the team were extremely patient and attentive and listened to his wishes while
trying to coax some cooperation out of him. His carer was excellent when we were trying to persuade my father to even have some care, and the other two carers were gentle and kind to him when he was quite dismissive of them. I highly recommend this company for your care needs especially with the most difficult of clients. Thank you all.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The opportunity to relate my review to more than one month is not available, but the high standard of care has been over several months. Any carer that I have met when visiting my sister has been kind and respectful towards her. On feeding, they are giving her time to eat or drink without any pressure.
The patience shown is so good to see, which enables my sister to eat or drink in a relaxed way. The time taken to give a meal can be anything between one and two hours. On personal care, gentleness is always given causing less stress than there can possibly be. I would recommend this company for daycare to anyone.

Reply from Charles Uwaifo, Director/Registered Manager at Certified Care

Thank you for this valuable feedback on the consistently high standard of care delivered by our carer. It goes a long way in motivating our carers to continue to maintain our high standards. Thank you.

The carer arrived promptly (early in fact) and reported back when I returned.
He dealt with a situation that had not happened before in that my husband wanted to check the car. My husband was not at all upset that I had gone out.
This was the first time I had used carers to be with my husband whilst
I was out for a few hours. As it was such a positive experience I feel confident to be able to arrange future care and leave my husband in the care.

Their willingness to help and their capacity to understand and respond to the needs of those they serve is truly
commendable. It's evident that your team not only possesses the necessary expertise but also deeply cares about making a positive impact through their work.
Such dedication and empathy are rare qualities, and it is reassuring to see them embodied so strongly in your staff. Please convey my sincere appreciation to your team for their outstanding service.

My mum had a fall in September and was taken to hospital where she spent three weeks recovering from hip surgery. Unfortunately I had a prearranged trip booked to Canada and was out of the country when Mum was discharged from the hospital in mid October. I contacted this company where staff arranged
absolutely everything for us. Mum didn't feel safe being alone at home the first few nights after being discharged, so we arranged for a carer to just stay overnight for three nights. Mum said the lovely lady who came early evening and left in the morning was 'A Godsend'!
Thank you so much for the amazing service you supplied so speedily! Those who assisted Mum showed kindness, understanding, patience and support. Hopefully, we will not need your services again for quite some time as Mum is recovering extremely well, but if we do, we will not hesitate to contact you. First class/Five star service!


Once again, thank you so much!

We really got off to a good start when I first spoke to the manager on the phone. I was desperate and in need of a support worker. The manager acted promptly by making a same-day appointment, bringing the support worker and welcome pack folder.
They have a well-experienced team. My son's staff is always
on time and courteous. He has a good working relationship with my son.
The agency has managed to cater for short-notice support requests.
Overall, I am very happy with the services.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Certified Care 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.872 for Certified Care is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 86 Ratings = 4.872

  • 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 Certified Care is based on 15 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.
