Helping at home have been coming to mum for over a year now and I am happy with the level of support that she receives.
The girls are very friendly with mum and would do anything to help her in her daily routine.

Helping at Home was recommended to us by two separate close friends, who both use their services for the care of their Mums. It was a very difficult decision for us, as we have been caring for Mum and this felt that we were letting Mum down. However, having taken that step, Helping at Home and the
carers have made this so much better than we could have hoped for. Mum's carer has been exceptional, so kind, thoughtful and nothing appears to be too much trouble. After only a month, they have built up a close bond, for which we are eternally grateful. It has given us confidence that when we are not able to be there, Mum is in very safe hands. We would have no hesitation, whatsoever, in recommending Helping at Home - THANK YOU.

Reply from Isobel King, Care Manager at Helping at Home

I have employed 'Helping at Home' for almost a year now since a hip replacement operation. I live alone and have no family nearby, so the carers have paid short visits daily to check on my welfare, perform minor domestic tasks, run local errands and also escort me to doctor and dentist appointments.
All the carers are lovely, friendly, and cheerful yet respectful of my wishes and independence as well as dignity. The management is very approachable and always keen to understand and meet my needs.

Reply from Isobel King, Care Manager at Helping at Home

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so glad to hear that our carers have made a positive difference in your daily life and that you feel supported and valued. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care while respecting your independence, and it's wonderful to know this comes across. We truly appreciate your kind words!

All of the carers are exceptional in their attitude and the professional way they care for my wife. They arrive on time and nothing is ever a trouble to them, when they get her up and either washed or showered and dressed. They will even go into her wardrobe and help her choose what she would like to
wear so what more could I expect or say. five-stars all the way.

Reply from Isobel King, Registered Manager at Helping at Home

Helping at Home have provided great support, from when we first contacted them. They have provided flexible care for my mother, and have responded quickly to all requests for changes to services. The carers are exactly that, they seem to genuinely care about my mother's wellbeing and are quick to alert
us to any issues. The reports on the app are very helpful, allowing us to respond to anything she needs. We have recommended Helping at Home to friends.

The Helping at Home team have now been visiting my father for around 2 months and during that time, they have built up a good rapport with my parents and are very caring, compassionate and professional in their approach.
Home visits are undertaken in a timely manner and channels of communication good.
The carers also ensure that the care being delivered to my father is always of a high standard.
The team not only provides support to my father but also to my mother who is the main carer.
Nothing is "too much trouble" and they always go the extra mile!
Thank you.

Staff are always professional and do a great job. My daughter looks forward to this time each week and has bonded well with her regular staff.
Would highly recommend the service.
Weekly rota is sent so we know who is coming so we can prepare our daughter.

Helping at Home and all their carers were an absolute godsend!
I'd struggled to find a care agency who would cover the rural areas outside Newark, and feel that we were beyond lucky to find Helping at Home. From the very first meeting, and during every visit, they treated my mum with kindness and patience.
They took on board every request and were really flexible around changing visit times when required. The reports written on the app after every visit allowed me an insight into Mum's regime and were a comfort to me, as I live in a different part of the country. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.

Thank you for taking the time to post the review. We wish you and the family all the best.

I engaged the services of Helping at Home following a recommendation. My dad had been in hospital and I felt that he needed some extra support now he was at home.
The team at Helping at Home have always been great and are completely flexible regarding my dad's needs.
One carer in particular is very
accommodating and nothing is too much trouble for her.
I would thoroughly recommended this team.

Having previously used another service provider, I have been greatly impressed with the service that is provided. All of the carers without exception are professional and go the extra mile to ensure that all of my mothers' needs are met. They always have time to chat which is as important to my mother
as being washed and dressed. The app enables me to see at a glance how the visit has been and gives me total peace of mind which I find very reassuring when I am at work. It also allows for my sister who lives many miles away to keep in touch with my mother's wellbeing on a daily basis.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) out of 10 for Helping at Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.833 for Helping at Home is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 54 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 Helping at Home 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.
