I am very impressed with the service you offer, I did not know what to expect at first so was a little apprehensive. However, all the carers were very good, kind and willing. I would have liked to have had more consistency in the time slots, but realise this is not always possible. I have used other
home care companies in the past, but theres absolutely no comparison to Vitale. I shall continue to use you for as long as I need.

My husband says everything is going well and they look after his needs. If occasionally when I am not at home most of your Carers know his routine and make sure he has been well looked after and safe to leave. On two occasions I have requested that my Husband would prefer a call not before 8.30a.m but
recently they have been 8.15a.m. I don't know if this can be avoided.

We have never had carers coming to support Mum before and we were worried about taking this step. Vitale Care staff have been wonderful from our very first enquiry, they are flexible, kind and supportive and have helped to relieve the pressure on me as my mum's main carer. excellent value for money
too and would recommend them highly.

My review is for the whole of our experiences with my Dad for over a year now. Everyone I have met, spoken to on the phone and read out on the app has taken my Dad to their heart and looked after him as if he was one of their own. Dad had become lonely and isolated and began to forget to look after
himself as well as his home, which he has lived in for more than 60 years. Moving him somewhere else just isn't an option currently and Vitale Care have stepped up each time his needs have altered, long may that continue. Thank you all for the peace of mind you have given me and the care that you have shown my Dad.

Reply from Nicola Munday, Registered Care Manager at Vitale Care

Thank you for such a lovely review. We love supporting your dad everyday and its great to see him thrive with the carers support. Thank you for also being so supportive and working with us every step of the way as it makes such a difference.

I have found the staff friendly and easy to talk to. They leave me to be as independent as possible but will help me when and where necessary. I appreciate any new ideas from the staff and ways to improve my well-being. On balance, many of the staff exceed my expectations and go beyond their call of
duty. I am really grateful for this and wish to pass on my thanks and appreciation.

Vitale stepped in when we were let down by another carer at short notice. They went above and beyond to help us out and nothing felt like too much trouble, even though I know it probably was. They moved swiftly and got support in place for my Mum and she couldn't have been happier with the carer who
then stayed with her for a few weeks. The support staff are very courteous and professional and easy to contact when needed. The carer was 10/10 and fitted in with our family and Mum's needs seamlessly. The app they use to share information between those who need it gave us peace of mind about how Mum's day was going without us having to call her all the time.
We have decided to continue using Vitale for Mum's care needs on an ongoing basis. Couldn't be happier.
Thank you to everyone on the team.

I am a client/service user of Vitale Care. I have autism and social anxiety, which has caused me to be chronically housebound all of my adult life. Vitale Care has been a lifeline for me, to help me interact with society, achieve more, and to help me live independently. Support has helped me get outside
more in my support sessions work on my confidence and do activities. I find Vitale Care staff very caring, supportive, and kind. I much prefer Vitale Care, to other care providers that I have been with in the past. Their ethos and positive attitude towards care make a big difference to me, and I do feel like they are always there to help me. I am very happy to receive support from Vitale Care, and I would wholeheartedly recommend to others who have a care need, to definitely consider Vitale Care. After experiencing some poor care providers in the past, Vitale Care has renewed my faith in care and has helped me become more positive about life, and I'm very grateful for that.

The Vitale team have been absolutely amazing. They are completely professional with care, kindness and sensitivity to my aged mother, allowing her dignity at this very difficult time in her life. Nothing is too much trouble and I would say they go above and beyond the call of duty. When they found my
mother on the floor from a fall, they called the paramedics, waited with her until their arrival, and then stayed with her throughout the examination. The Vitale team kept us informed every step of the way. I have no hesitation in recommending Vitale. Thank you the Vitale team.

It is a pleasure to support your mother. Her kind nature and the positive way she has been coping with her increasing health needs are an inspiration. She is always smiling even through the difficult times she has faced recently. Thank you for your review and we will ensure your comments are passed on to the wonderful team of care professionals involved. They will be very proud to know they have made a difference in the life of such a lovely lady.

I started using Vitale Care for my father who has dementia, he is forgetting to eat and drink water. He seems very happy with the lovely chats and the reminders to eat and take his medication. The app system for each visit is such a huge relief to be able to read that he is ok. We have a few issues
and the carer is so helpful, understanding and constructive with ideas. The whole process has been much better than I thought.

Hi Jo, Thank you for your lovely review. It's great to hear the feedback that we are able to help with new ideas to support your father.

Vitale has really listened to us and understood everything that we said to them at our initial meeting. In this respect, they have provided Mum with perfect companions who are very attentive and happy to listen to and chat with her. Mum now has something interesting and exciting to look forward to every
week as she never really knows what she will be doing during her visits until the carer arrives. She seems to have gotten her old spark back as she is getting the stimulation she has been lacking for some time - a good chat and a chuckle with an interested and interesting person has worked wonders. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff and communications are also excellent.
I would recommend Vitale, without any hesitation at all, to anyone thinking about getting a home care provider.
Thank you to everyone at Vitale for everything you do.

I can’t praise Vitale highly enough. This is the second agency we have used for housekeeping help for my elderly mother and the experience and quality of staff have surpassed anything we have experienced previously. There is a huge advantage in recruiting locally for local clients. Familiarity of the
local area, shops, doctor’s surgery, garden centres etc. is so helpful. In a relatively rural area, having car owners/drivers is also a great benefit. The office staff listened carefully to the needs of my mother and matched a carer extremely successfully. We look forward to a long and supportive relationship with Vitale which, in turn, enriches my mother’s life. Thank you very much to everyone working for Vitale.

Hello Clare,

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.740) out of 10 for Vitale Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.740 for Vitale Care is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.74

  • 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 Vitale Care is based on 22 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.
