We have only used your services for a short while. Your ladies are all lovely and caring. My mother likes all of them which is extremely important. I know she can be stubborn at times but everyone seems to be able to get her to eat and drink, even if it's just a little.

I have been receiving care now for three months. The carers I have are very professional, caring and friendly. It is more companionship-based care I have and I am building a good individual friendship with my carers.
The management team are professional and easy to approach.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.889) out of 10 for Bluebird Care (Northampton & Daventry) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • 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 4.889 for Bluebird Care (Northampton & Daventry) is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 Bluebird Care (Northampton & Daventry) 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.
