Review from D I (Client / Service User) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I've been a client with YPS for over 5 years and in that time I've never had anything but positive things to say about the company as a whole. Every single person that I've worked closely with has only enhanced the quality of my life and wellbeing. The office team are outstanding and work so hard to make sure everything in place and runs senselessly. Deborah is one of the kindest and most understanding people to work with in the industry. For the last year and half I've been working 1 to 1 with Sam and I couldn't have asked for a better situation. She supports me in every way possible and we have a great friendship as well as the working relationship. I will stick with YPS as long as they will have me! I couldn't recommend more.

We are very grateful for the help we get from York Personal Support. They are friendly, reliable and professional. Our support worker is invaluable to the running of our family home- she assists with washing, changing the beds, cleaning and any other jobs in the home I can't manage on my own.

Overall Experience

I've been YPS for over two years now and they're a god send for me. I have a lot of issues that the ladies at YPS don't make me feel inhuman or different for having. One of my main likes is that if I have a big of a panic and need to talk to someone, they're always a quick call away. My brother is also autistic and is a client of YPS, he's come on leeps and bounds.

My daughter has a PA from this company once a week. The PA is lovely and I feel happy and confident letting my daughter go out with her. She is kind and gentle and very patient and it is lovely that my daughter has someone else to take her out.

At Personal Support the team - especially management - are very efficient and very approachable. Personal assistants have all been respectful and helpful. I have personal experience that in an emergency/crisis everybody at York Personal Support prove to be very proactive, supportive and flexible. I have been with YPS many years testament to their professionalism and frinedliness.

Review from Dawn H (Mother of Client) published on 6 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From our initial approach to the agency to being assigned a PA for our daughters the whole experience has been extremely smooth and efficient at every stage. Our concerns and requirements for our disabled daughters were listened to in detail and the PA assigned to them has excelled in her dealings with them. I would have no hesitation in recommending this agency - our only regret is that we wish we had approached them a year earlier at the start of our daughters post education journey.

Many thanks for taking the time to write this wonderful review. I am pleased the support is going so well and that you are happy with the Personal Assistant working with your daughters. I shall pass this on to her now, she will be so pleased.

I am temporarily housebound following surgery in January and needed some help in the house. I am receiving a weekly visit and my carer has provided excellent professional help with cleaning, shopping and various tasks which I can't manage myself. I am very happy with the service, which is ongoing.

Review from B P (Daughter of Client) published on 24 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The PA support provided to my mum is wonderful. My mum has a complex neurological condition. The PA has provided support that is highly professional, respectful, and nuanced. We were first referred to PA support 6 years ago and the PA provided transitional support from hospital. After living relatively independently, a relapse and medical complications left her needing more support last year. Miraculously the same PA was able to pick up this support again. Despite my mum's memory issues, she had a good emotional memory about this person and was open to having support again. It has made a real difference to all of us knowing someone regularly can come by and help my mum go out to places or sort things out that she needs. The PA is never patronising and very generous with her interest in my mum's life, interests and knowledge. The office support has also been great, very amenable and flexible to what my mum needs week to week. Highly recommend their service!

The ladies are very competent, lovely and friendly and are making such a difference to my life. I have a severely broken ankle meaning I can't walk or do anything really without help. It makes all the difference to my life to have someone come 5 days a week to clear up the mess I've made during the day, shop for anything I need and do my washing and ironing.

I can thoroughly recommend this care supporter for their fine help, reliability and kindness.

Review from Darcie I (Client / Service User) published on 19 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've been a service user of York Personal Support for over 6 years and I've worked with several members of the staff during that time. I've never once had a bad experience with the company in any way! I think the management is on a level unmatched by any other provider! They have always done their utmost to meet my needs, if I ever needed any assistance with arranging support at short notice, I know they would do everything in their power. The company is extremely client-orientated, you can tell that serious care and consideration have been taken when carers are assigned to support specific clients. I've always felt that I'm receiving such high-quality care from warm and friendly people, and I've always felt incredibly safe, comfortable and fortunate!

York Personal Support are outstanding! I would highly recommend it!

Overall Experience

From the initial call through to the matching of Dad’s Personal Assistant (PA) the whole experience has been full of caring, knowledge, empathy and professionalism. All have been so wonderful, listening to our thoughts, hopes and providing reassurance as we moved into the next stage of helping Dad in his dementia diagnosis, not forgetting supporting Mum too staying safe and happy in their own home. The willingness of Dad’s assigned PA to do whatever is needed to support, was such an added bonus as is her warm and friendly manner. We feel very much in safe hands.

Thank you so much for writing this wonderful review. I am so pleased that your father is receiving the support he requires and that you are all happy with our service. I will pass your kind comments on to the PA who visits your father, it's lovely to get such positive feedback.
