A very positive experience from the outset. A warm, person centred care agency who put client needs above administrative details. My mum has been very happy with the care provided, which has been consistent, patient and kind. The same carer arrives punctually at the agreed times, giving mum the support
and routine that she needs. This consistency helps her feel safe and secure. Communication is very good, if the carers are concerned they immediately contact me.

I am happy with Mum's care, she is treated with respect and kindness, the carers Mum has are on time and any changes that I ask them to do they are happy to do it. In the short time we have had carers my mum feels a lot more safe and looked after.

An excellent agency with superb staff. The two ladies who come in turn to see my mother treat her like a mother figure. They are polite, loving and very respectful. They remembered her birthday and even bought her a gift. Amazing! Thank you.

From the very first meeting with a lady from "Ency Care" I felt relief that finally I was going to be cared for properly and in the way I wanted. The carers are reliable and I know who I am going to get each day. The carers listen to my needs and requests and we have a laugh most days. I feel uplifted
and refreshed by their presence which I never felt before. "Thank you Ency Care"

On their first visit, the two female carers came with a male chaperone. I was very impressed by this. I've never had carers before and the carers shared useful information with us about things to buy i.e. disposable bed sheets and dry wipes. They were very happy to follow my existing routine as much
as possible, the big difference being that they used a hoist to lift me but normally my husband would lift me. They were always cheerful and punctual. Although this was an experience I was dreading, it all worked out well in the end.

Ency Care provided top-class support to my father during the last few months of his life. They provided the same carers every day, twice a day. Both carers were delightful – extremely helpful, kind, imaginative, efficient and reliable.
They even bought birthday and Christmas presents for my father!
They were great fun and always brought smiles to our faces, which was greatly appreciated. Bravo, Ency Care! I would thoroughly recommend them.

Ency care has been providing care and support for us since September 2021. I cannot thank them enough for helping my wife make an amazing recovery and continue to support her and myself. They have provided live-in care, personal care, and housework. Always on time and fun and friendly, and become good
friends.

Usually, turn up on time, but if running late they do inform.
Head carer is a Nurse so quite knowledgeable, some difficulty initially with the Electric chair and Hoist but willing to learn so over time not a problem.
Courteous respectful attitude and willing to go the extra mile should it be required.


No

timesheet provided, but this is not a problem because they only leave when the job is completed.

Very disappointed with this company. Started the contact in January 2022. All was well to start but things started to decline. No timesheet or log-in book was left on premises despite several requests. Could not guarantee that the hours stated were those that were actually worked. A very bad attitude
which our relative was not happy with. We, therefore, made a decision in May to change care providers. I would not recommend this company hence the rating of 2.

Reply from Uloma Opara, Registered Manager at Ency Care Ltd

It was unfortunate that the review writer who is not the direct relative could write a false review against the company who did their best in looking after the client. The direct relative was OK with our services. But from the very first day, this review writer was unfriendly to the carers without any known reason. The client was given the best of care and the carers spent extra time giving her the best of attention. We are using a digital clocking system, which was explained to the relative. That on request, any information will be emailed/texted to them. They were well informed of any changes via email and text messages. As much as the client was very happy with all visits, the review writer was never friendly to the carers which makes the carers very uncomfortable when she is around. Giving the company a bad review is not coming as a surprise because she never appreciated our effort from the beginning.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.250)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.250) out of 10 for Ency Care Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 5.000 for Ency Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Ency Care Ltd 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.
