Very disappointed with this care company.
Blinds and curtains unopened, bed not made and commode not emptied!
Used the excuse that my mother was too aggressive so they then got funded to send two carers in! The basic things were still not done. They knew the nature of my mother's cognitive impairment
when they took her on but still couldn't manage to do the basics.
Even when the manager was one of the two carers going in, the basics were still not done.

All the staff are lovely, the are very well trained, friendly and caring. They always make sure my needs are being met and help me access the community. They made a tailored plan to me and my needs and everyone who works there makes sure they are all meeting that plan.

I've been using Sphere Specialist Healthcare services for just over six months now to support me in looking after my elderly mother, who requires help in maintaining her quality of life and personal hygiene.
Sphere has provided me with a consistent team of mainly locally based carers (I live in a rural
area), so should an emergency situation arise I feel someone will always be available to assist me. Seeing the same familiar faces is a huge factor in providing my mother with a settled state of mind.
The carers are highly proficient, well-trained and friendly, allowing my mother and myself to build professional relationships with them. In addition, the carers allow me a degree of flexibility to carry out activities outside of the home which contributes to my own mental and physical well-being. Knowing my mother is in safe hands, should I be away, is a great comfort.
In short, my experience of the services Sphere provide has been nothing but positive and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Needs a lot of work. The carers themselves are lovely but the manager has a lot to be desired, no people skills whatsoever. Carers are not allocated with correct times that they should be with each client. Many times 1 carer turns up when the care package states 2, don’t turn up on time and clients
don’t get informed of this. Medication is left for the clients to take on their own because the care staff don’t have the time to stay and make sure the client has taken it at the correct time. We have also rang CQC and out of hours for guidance.

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.655) out of 10 for Sphere Specialist Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 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 3.655 for Sphere Specialist Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (17 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 29 Ratings = 3.655

  • 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 Sphere Specialist Healthcare is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4

  • 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.
