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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. Your feedback is so important to us and we are really pleased you and you continue to be happy with the support we provide.
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.
I will be sure to pass on your kind comments to your PA as well-they will be delighted to hear your feedback.
Thank you again for your support.
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.
I will be sure to pass on your kind comments to your PAs as well-they will be delighted to hear your feedback.
Thank you again for your support.
As always we are extremely happy with the support we have from my husband's assistant from York Personal Support. YPS have a team who is excellent at finding the right people for their clients. We only wish we could have more hours.
I will be sure to pass on your kind comments to your PA as well-they will be delighted to hear your feedback.
Thank you again for your support.
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.
Thank you so much for writing this excellent review, we are so pleased you and your daughter are happy with our support. I shall pass on your kind comments on to the PA too who will be really pleased, thanks again.
My experience with YPS has remained consistently excellent and incredible. My support worker L is wonderful, attentive, kind and hardworking. I really look forward to my visits and they hugely benefit me and improve my quality of life. Thank you to all of the YPS team, management and L.
Thank you so much for writing this excellent review, we are so pleased you continue to be happy with our support. I shall pass on your kind comments to L too.
An excellent company where clients needs are met through great care and professionalism. I would thoroughly recommend. I have been with them since 2017. I have the same carer each session and plenty of time for tasks to be completed
Many thanks for taking the time to send this wonderful review. I am so pleased that you continue to be happy with our support, I will pass on your kind words to your personal assistant too.

Professional, friendly team. Daughter is very happy with the support received. Dependable and flexible to daughter's needs. Makes my life easier. Always respond promptly which is much appreciated. We wish the team continued success.
Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. I am so pleased you and your daughter continue to be happy with our support. I shall pass this on to your daughters Personal Assistant too.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this excellent review. I am so pleased you are still happy with our support. I will pass your kind comments onto the whole team.
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.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, pleased we were able to help and hope you have a speedy recovery.
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!
Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review,! We really appreciate that you came back to us when looking for support and happy that we are able to assist your mum and make a positive difference to her life.
Satisfied with this Homecare provider and happy to recommend it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We really appreciate it and we are so pleased we've been able to assist you during your recovery.
I have never had any complaints about the organisation. The manager of this agency is very flexible and listens carefully to what clients have to say.
Thank you for this wonderful review. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this and I am so pleased you continue to be happy with your support.
York Personal Support are outstanding! I would highly recommend it!
Thank you so much for this absolutely wonderful review. I am so pleased that you have been happy with our support and that you feel safe with all the personal assistants who have supported you. I will share this with them and thanks again.
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.
Very happy 100%.
So pleased to know that we continue to meet your needs.
After four years of care and support, I am very happy with the service provided and helpful with appointments at different times when needed. Comfort and care, first-class.
I am very pleased that, after four years, we continue to meet your needs.
I will pass the compliments on to your personal assistant.
