Very comprehensive review with the care coordinator. The agency are very responsive and the carers are genuinely good to my mother. The management and admin support seem to be very good consistently. They always give the time to address any points we raise and always have a positive solution focused
manner. Very grateful to have this service giving mum's care.

Recently the carers for my mother have been really thoughtful and excellent, forming relationships that she really values, and making sure they meet her needs sensitivity. This has made a real difference to her happiness and fulfilment on this difficult journey with dementia. Thank you all.

Ringstead has been amazing in the two years I have been with them. It's hard when you go from no care but the transition was made so easy and comfortable by management. Every carer I have had has been fantastic - they remember my family and what's been happening, my hobbies and interests. It always
feels like I am being cared for by friends and family. I couldn't tell you who my favourite carer is because they are all good in their own ways. There has never been a time I was uncomfortable with my care.

The care given to my Mum after she came home from hospital for the 12 hours with these carers is amazing and nothing is too much trouble for any of them. They are there for all her needs and at 91 and house bound they comfort her also when she is in a lot of pain and try to encourage her to do things,
and she loves all of them. They are angels to her. Thank you, this team is highly recommended.

Mum is generally happy with her care. She has taken a while to adapt to her circumstances as she is normally very independent. My sister would like more prepared meals given to mum opposed to crackers etc but other than this the carers are very bice and happy to accommodate mum in all areas.

Whilst the needs of the client appear complex we have been with this care company for some time now, however I believe the constant revolving door of staff and the length of time spent on shadowing is not done appropriately. My mother has said that at times her wishes are not respected. This is a private
family home. Some staff seem quite inexperienced arriving to meet my mother once and then appearing as her main carer with shadowing only covering one day. However all staff do try very hard to meet my mother's needs and are pleasant.

We have been having carers since May to help my husband get up in the morning, washing and helping to get dressed.
They are always happy and my husband enjoys their happy conversations.
They all work hard to give a high standard of support to both of us.

Very friendly and caring people, they try really hard to accommodate everyone’s schedules and needs and I’m really happy to have them as my caregivers, they stick to a scheduled time each day so you always know when they are coming and they work really hard to be on time.

My partner had severe heart problems and due to a neurological condition was unable to walk or feed himself. He needed several visits a day over a period of months.
I cannot recommend Ringstead Healthcare highly enough. His frequent admissions to hospital meant that we had to cancel visits and arrange
visits at short notice when he was discharged. This was dealt with in a very sensitive manner and Ringstead did everything possible to make sure he had the care he needed when he needed it. I cannot fault their care for him, they are friendly and professional and arranged for him to have appliances and adaptations to make his life easier. They were also instrumental in arranging for him to have a hospital bed delivered which made him much more comfortable.
I found them reliable and interactive. My partner was very pleased with their standard of care when he was at his most vulnerable. Thank you so much for everything you did for him.

Highly recommended. Ringstead provided in-home care for my father-in-law, who found his carers to be professional, friendly, respectful and helpful. He enjoyed their visits, which were consistently on time and covered all of his needs, and frequently cheered him up for the day. He and his family were
able to rely on his carers getting him safely in and out of bed, looking after his health, and highlighting any concerns they had. Communication from Ringstead is particularly good. We found them to be very responsive to enquiries, and the online reporting system was very convenient for keeping track of visits. We are grateful for the dignified and conscientious care provided by Ringstead and their team of carers and recommend them without reservation.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for Ringstead Healthcare Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.624 for Ringstead Healthcare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.624

  • 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 Ringstead Healthcare Ltd is based on 15 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.
