I receive help in the morning to wash and dress. The carer also makes my breakfast and a hot drink. I also have a carer visit in the early evening to help me change for bed and prepare an evening meal. I have severe arthritis which hampers my movement and the carers are very gentle, they also help with
things such as hand washing and opening jars. I would not manage on my own without this help.

Generally happy - staff friendly and willing to learn. Generally kind and warmhearted. Perhaps timekeeping and leaving early is a consistent issue, not one I've dealt with. Overall good experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I contacted My Life as I wanted to investigate the use of extra help in the home if, as has happened in the reticent past, I needed extra help when discharged from hospital. My Life understood this and were extremely helpful in putting in place a temporary twice weekly service for 2 weeks whilst I
recovered from an accident and my usual helper in the house was away on holiday. The My Life carer who came was punctual and very helpful. Fortunately I did not need any personal care so cannot comment on this aspect of My Life services. I would certainly contact my Life again when in need of help.

Arrangements are very good overall. Staff on the whole very pleasant. Some care staff are more competent than others.
Punctuality of visits sometimes not as wished (but I understand reasons for delays).

I was very impressed with the patience and perseverance shown by the care staff who tried repeatedly to gain the trust of my aunt who has dementia. Despite her hostility the staff kept trying to provide support. Excellent support was also provided by management.

I've been using MyLife Edinburgh for many years, The carers have always been absolutely brilliant but the office staff need to be better. They fail to pass messages on and often are quite evasive when responding to questions over visit times.
Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

We are delighted to hear that your carer team deliver a brilliant service for you. We will review our office-to-client communication methods to understand how we could make this aspect of service equally brilliant. Please do feel free to contact our office management team to discuss any concerns or particular observations you would like to make to help us improve.

Very good twice-daily package, 7/7 a week certainly helping my 90-year-old Dad manage at home. Valuable service! Without the package, my dad may have to consider care home placement. Most weeks staff turn up, only occasional unplanned absences.

We are absolutely delighted to be helping your Dad to live well at home. He is a pleasure to work with and we have enjoyed our longstanding relationship with you both. Please don't hesitate to contact us in the office if you need anything further, or any changes to your Dad's package to assist him further.

I have been using MyLife Edinburgh for about five months to help with care for my elderly parents, both with dementia and have always been impressed with the friendly care given by the lovely carers and also all the staff in the office who have answered my queries promptly and efficiently.
My mother,
in particular, can be difficult with her dementia, and the carers proved to be so patient and caring with her.
I would recommend MyLife to anyone seeking help with any loved one.

We needed a care package quickly and were impressed at the speed at which the details were arranged. The carers were punctual, polite and patient. They assisted my husband to recover his confidence and independence. We required the care for a short time only and were more than satisfied with the provider.

We are pleased to have been able to assist and delighted that your husband recovered so swiftly. We wish you well and please do not hesitate to make contact with us again in the future if we can be of any further assistance.

Added stress due to admin problems. Delays for restart after I accepted and offered to halve my visits while you were short-staffed (and covid) bad admin. I felt that no new staff had any prior knowledge of me ie did not read my file. As a result, I have been upset during phone calls. I don't get the
rota before visits very often, rota changes are upsetting, not good.
Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

We are sorry to hear of your experience which has resulted in your feeling upset. We absolutely do not want you to feel distressed by your care service when you should feel supported. I have asked the office quality team to look into this for you and we would welcome your contact to discuss matters further, should you feel you would like to speak with us formally.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.437)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.437) out of 10 for MyLife Edinburgh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.437 for MyLife Edinburgh is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 87 Ratings = 4.437
  2. 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').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for MyLife Edinburgh is based on 15 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
