Unikcare Solutions provided care for my sibling A, supporting them despite numerous challenges and worked very hard to build a relationship with them and improve their situation. The carers were kind, supportive, thoughtful and respectful both to my sibling and to myself whenever I had cause to speak
to them. Well done and I wish you every success in the future

Exceptional, dependable care throughout Mum's long illness, allowing her to remain comfortable and safe at home.
We are especially grateful for the care and support given to both Mum and us, her family, during her final days.
It helped so much in such difficult times.

I am a service user and very pleased to say that I have a team of very good carers who have been helping me over the past 8 months. They are punctual, pleasant and attend to my needs. I am pleased to have them in my home and for their help.

Absolutely untenable. All bar one of the staff are incompetent. Again I was having a hypo and the carer just didn't know what to do. I struggled to get my gluco gel and it took a whole hour before I came around well enough to eat my evening meal. I have repeatedly asked the manager who palms it off
to the care group leader to teach them how to respond to a hypo/hyper. The carers always act incredibly surprised when I ask them to do something. Even something as simple as stirring the soup, heat again to make sure it's piping hot. Or please mop the floor after my shower. How about washing my favourite mug, rinse off the soap instead of creating scum in my drink. Pizza boxes can't be recycled. Empty bins if full. Empty the bin! Pick up paper from the floor where I've miss aimed and it didn't reach the recycling box. My arms are the weakest part of my body and my throw is about an arms length in front of me! I still don't know how many hours I'm owed, so I can't arrange a trip to the gym.

My husband came home from hospital on end of life care. Two carers, four times daily and one overnight were needed. Unikcare was the only agency able to supply this. The carers were always on time. They were efficient in their work and so kind and reassuring to my husband and myself. I cannot speak
highly enough of these wonderful and dedicated people.

I am just getting used to this invaluable service Unikcare Solutions provide. Unique is the only word to describe the staff at Unikcare Solutions. I can't thank the staff enough for their valued time and effort they put into their work. I have also seen an improvement in my own mental health recently.

The Unikcare team stepped in when my mum's previous carers let her down. They visited her in the evening and then seamlessly took over the next day. The team were professional, kind and caring in very difficult circumstances. My mum's needs were very complex but the carers were never phased and always
thorough and gentle. I can't thank them enough!

Amazing care. Lovely people. The change in a month's care has meant that has left his flat for a walk for the first time in years. Their calm way of care has changed the anxiety that was there before. I cannot praise enough.

The Unikcare team are by far the best home carers we have ever met. The initial needs assessment was accurate was taken into account. The carers are prompt, thorough and never seem rushed. They are all kind and take their work seriously - they genuinely seem to care about the comfort and well-being
of the client and go above and beyond the basics. All the team are gentle with the client and very clean and neat in everything they do. We are very pleased that we found Unikcare and hope we can continue with the same team.

I've been using Unikcare Solutions since March, when I started to need some extra help and support at home during my 6-months of outpatient chemotherapy. They provide me with four visits a day, using a small, friendly, professional and caring team of lovely ladies. They are all reliable and punctual,
and adaptable to my changing requirements for meals, medications and personal care. They are really helping me through a difficult time with humour and kindness.

We do appreciate the participation of our clients in the reviews and would like to thank them for their contributions. Their reviews give us some positive motivations and encouragement.

With Unikcare, they are professional, friendly, genuine and thorough in all they do. I am so thankful to them and appreciate
all they do.

This company has kept their promise to maintain carer continuity. This is important because the client, my husband, has dementia. Complete a monthly care plan review in person. Staff always arrive on time wearing PPE., are always polite and ensure that they interact with the client, despite his communication
difficulties. Go above and beyond designated tasks.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.356)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.356) out of 10 for Unikcare Solutions is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.456 for Unikcare Solutions is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.456

  • 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 Unikcare Solutions is based on 9 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 = 4.9

  • 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.
