Leading reviews site reveals UK's top home care providers

The leading reviews site for home care providers has revealed the top home care agencies in the UK.

Around 900,000 people in the UK receive care at home, yet apart from reports by the Care Quality Commission, it can be very hard to find out what the care is really like.

This is why homecare.co.uk has used nearly 10,000 reviews of the home care providers from the people they care for, plus their friends and relatives, to find out which is providing the best care.

The list of the Top 20 home care providers in each region can be found here.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk, said: “Good quality home care is vital as it enables people to stay living in their own homes and keep their independence, with their home care worker often becoming their friend and companion as well as their lifeline to the outside world.

“Our reviews are given by those receiving home care as well as their family and friends. This helps people to search for the right home care provider, where trust, dignity and compassion are paramount.”

She added: “Looking for the right home care provider can be extremely tough. We hope our awards will help to make people’s search that little bit easier.”

The homecare.co.uk Top 20 Home Care Awards are based on nearly 10,000 reviews from between July 2015 and April 2018.

The home care providers were rated on their overall standard, staff, care and support, management, whether they treat people with dignity and their value for money.
