Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

As a family carer looking for a suitable placement for increasing my 27-year-old daughter's independence as part of her assessed care needs with day care and the employment of DP PAs, Buddies was recommended to me by a fellow carer of someone similar in age and common traits of their disability (differences
too of course).
My daughter and I visited on 11th April and loved it so much that my daughter chose to start asap. She had her first day yesterday and she was thrilled with all the wonderful activities and organic foods. She came home armed with lovely artwork that she had made for the King's coronation. Both she and I are very happy with the variety of activities, the possibility of real friends she can make and all 8 mins, dependent on traffic. A real community find that I have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you, buddies.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Adult Day Care Centre 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.

  • 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').

    5 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months: 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.5 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.5, 5th = 0.5)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Buddies Day Service is based on 1 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 = 3
