The level of care provided has been exemplary. The people who run this home care service are grounded, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in the client. In my case, care is being provided for my Dad. The team has answered all of my questions promptly either on the phone or via email. I can highly
recommend them.

The company stepped in at short notice to help keep my Mum at home.
Started off well but soon became apparent that the company appears to be struggling to resource the service without bringing in agency staff.

Reply from Alan Hounsell, Director at GoodOaks Homecare - South Oxfordshire

Thank you very much for your review. From the initial assessment we placed one of our Live-In Carers with you within 5-6 hours. We did advise that the covering carer let us down at the last minute and that we would be using an agency carer to cover the 2 weeks break from the initial carer.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.892 for GoodOaks Homecare - South Oxfordshire is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 65 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 GoodOaks Homecare - South Oxfordshire is based on 11 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.
