Review from Sharon R (Daughter of Client) published on 7 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Just felt compelled to write a review as I’m so impressed with how MyLife has dealt with my mum. Mum has dementia and we’ve been through hell recently so decided to try her with some care. Mum has always been adamant she wouldn’t have care and can be very stubborn. The quality officer came to see Mum
and they didn’t stop laughing and chatting, it was like they were long lost friends, the icing on the cake was Mum's dog sitting on the quality officer's lap (he’s not a small dog) which sealed the deal for Mum. Care has not long commenced but we are very impressed, they have all been lovely so far which is a weight lifted for us.

I am really delighted with the excellent care that I received from My Life (Kent).
The ladies in the office were always happy to listen to any concerns and offer helpful advice, and the amazing care team were reliable, kind, very caring and always brightened up my day. Thank you so much for your
much-needed support, after returning home from hospital after an operation. I would definitely recommend My Life to anyone needing care at home.
Reply from Julia Morrison, Business Development Manager at MyLife Kent

Dear Susan, thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are always here to support you again in the future if you need us. I hope you are continuing to recover from your operation and will pass your lovely comments onto the care team and the office staff.
Kind regards, Julia

Review from Kennth P (Brother of Client) published on 2 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister had MyLife for a while and overtime increased and changed the care she had, they were very adaptable and would change things to suit her at the drop of a hat.
The carers were charming, professional and most importantly caring and my sister loved all of them.
In late 2020 she went into hospital
and contracted the dreaded virus, when she returned home we were worried we wouldn’t get the care back but they surpassed themselves visiting numerous times a day to put our minds at rest, with us not being able to travel it was invaluable.
Would highly recommend this caring company.
Reply from Julia Morrison, Business Development Manager at MyLife Kent

Dear Mr P,
Thank you very much for your lovely review. As you agree are care staff are dedicated to their customers. I hope your sister is recovering from Covid and continuing to improve. We very much appreciate the time you have taken to complete the review and I will forward this onto the registered manager and all the staff involved with supporting your sister.
Kind regards, Julia Morrison

Review from Sandra D (Daughter of Client) published on 14 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we learnt of my father’s prognosis we were devastated and wanted him home as he wished, especially due to Covid. The quality officer in Hythe went out of her way to make this happen, she met us late at night due to a delayed discharge and helped get everything set up even going to the shop to grab
some bits we had forgotten. We really can’t thank her enough.
The carers were equally great and kept Dad comfortable ensuring they not only supported him but also our mother who has her own needs.
Having never needed care before we didn’t know what to expect but as a family we can’t fault them, Dad passed away peacefully at home as he wished and they made this so much easier with their care and compassion so thank you.
Reply from Julia Morrison, Business Development Manager at MyLife Kent

Firstly I would like to offer my condolences to you and your family following your father's passing. Thank you for your lovely review of MyLife home care. I will pass this onto all of the team involved with your father's care and would like to wish you the very best for the future. Kind regards.

Review from Tesher F (Daughter of Client) published on 2 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager visited my family at a really critical point in my father's illness. He had returned from hospital and we did not know how we could respond to his needs which were changing quickly as a result of his terminal cancer. I saw many beautiful moments of connection between my father and the regular
carers who visited our home up to four times a day. Always professional and cordial, they would greet my father, administer care in the most gentle and respectful manner and leave us, the family, in a better place emotionally and psychologically. The administrator in the office was prompt with her replies and went out of her way to establish additional around the clock care, which we eventually needed. Thank you to the many carers who became our close support network, at a time which could have been even more stressful, with lockdown in place. We have absolute confidence in My Life Homecare and will always be grateful for their incredible service.
Reply from Julia Morrison, Business Development Manager at MyLife Kent

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, which means a lot to the whole team at MyLife Homecare, Kent and is much appreciated. It was our absolute pleasure to care for your father and to have been able to support all of your family at this time. Lockdown has been a very daunting and stressful time for all of our staff and we have still managed to maintain and deliver exceptional care around the clock. I will of course share this with the whole team.

My husband and I both have carers; we are very pleased with our service. I had another firm before this one, and we were very upset by the way we were treated.

Review from Ray G (Son of Client) published on 2 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been with Mylife for many years and loved all the carers. She used to phone us every Sunday to tell us about her week which usually consisted of saying how great her carers had been. This gave us great comfort knowing she was in good hands. The assessor used to drop in to see mum and have
a cup of tea with her which pleased her and us no end as we couldn’t get to Hythe as often as we would have liked.
Mum's passing was made so much easier knowing she had remained in her own home as she had wished.

My husband receives visits of two carers four times a day for personal care, and a two-hour sit call once a week to allow me to go shopping. Carers are first class, polite, respectful of my husband's needs and tolerant of his constant mood changes. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company
to anyone needing first-rate care in their own home.

We have had MyLife for over 2 years and during that time have not needed to complain about the care they have given my husband. Having seen the difference of other companies we are so pleased that MyLife came to us. They are part of our family and we cannot praise them enough. They are trustworthy and
we look forward to them coming every day.

I cannot thank your service enough, it was absolutely invaluable and necessary throughout 2017 as my father's Parkinsons and dementia worsened. All carers were uniformly excellent, hard working, cheerful and went a lot of extra miles with my father's care and dignity and helping myself when times were
not easy.
We would have been utterly sunk without your services support assistance; you were a lifeline when most needed. Thank you. I would strongly recommend your services to anyone.

I live overseas and returned to the UK and spent a month living with my mother who is cared for full time by MyLife. I saw first hand the excellent and professional care my mother was given and the attention to detail was excellent. I returned home feeling confident that my mother is being cared for
extremely well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently stayed two weeks with my Father and his wife.
I was highly impressed with the level of care devoted to them.
All the carers were doing a fantastic job, and some had gone above their duty of care, in looking after Dad and his wife.
I think they are amazing. I found my two weeks very tiring,
but also enjoyable as I know they are both in good hands.
Thank you so much.
