Top five home care groups revealed

Home care reviews site homecare.co.uk has unveiled the top 20 home care groups across the UK for 2023. However, Home Care Insight decided to dive deeper to find out… who are the top five?

The annual Home Care Awards 2023 recognise the top home care groups in the UK based on reviews from service users, clients and their family or friends.

Home Care Insight has studied the Top 20 Large & Mid-size Home Care Groups (4+ Group Members) list further to find out who has the highest Group Review Score (as of 10 August 2023 2023, the score can change on the website at any time).

The score is derived from the average of all the review scores of its members with a review score. 75% + members of the group must have a review score before a group review score can be achieved.

Marked out of 10, it’s fair to say the scores were very close indeed.
