Carers are very friendly and helpful. They arrive on time and stay the allotted time, always in uniform and display their badge. The care is excellent, nothing is too much trouble. Would recommend Support Solutions.

Good standard of care. There were issues initially with rotas but on the whole now sorted, although still sometimes an issue with timing of the morning call, which can be a concern due to Dad's diabetes.

My husband looked forward to the visits from the carers. He has his favourites, but they all cared for him, and sometimes they would chat about football, which he liked. I felt they were part of our extended family.

Everyone at Support Solutions is great. The staff are very caring and friendly and listen to all your requirements and needs. The people in charge listen to any new problems that occur and tailor the service accordingly. We certainly couldn’t manage to look after my mother without their help, and my
mother would be lost without them, she looks forward to their visits each day.

Support Solutions have been providing care for my Mum since she fell in December 2022. They provide support in the form of ensuring that Mum has her breakfast and evening meal, light domestic duties and support her with showering.
All of the staff members are friendly and approachable, while also
being professional. Mum looks forward to her twice-daily visits not only for the care provided but also for the company.
As I live an hour and an half’s drive away, and only get to see Mum on weekends, it is a great comfort to me to know that she is well looked after and happy.

The staff are always courteous and very respectful of my needs and preferences. The visits are never rushed, and the staff always take time to enquire if there are any additional needs that have not been met. Overall, provided exceptional service.

I have had a really good experience with the staff, very reliable. Questions were answered - no problems. Management is top class. I could not wish for better help.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.396) out of 10 for Support Solutions (Middlesbrough) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.596 for Support Solutions (Middlesbrough) is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.596

  • 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 Support Solutions (Middlesbrough) 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.

Sarah Hall

Job Title: Managing Director

Joined: 2021

After completing 4 years of studying Health and Social Care, and achieving a certificate of higher education in Working with Children and Young people I joined Support Solutions to complete an apprenticeship in Business Administration. Following this, I joined the care team and have been at the forefront of providing quality care ever since. and now have over 8 years of experience in the care sector.


I also have experience in supported living and believe care should be provided on a more personal level to those individuals needing support to maintain their independence and fulfil their wishes.
