Fantastic care package, the care is second to none, the carers are very caring and helpful and do everything that is needed for Dad's needs. Dad can be very low at times and the carer are always keen to lift his spirits.

The care that my wife is receiving is first-class. She is confused some days however, after the care she always picks up and feels better in herself. The timings of the carers are excellent and they are always punctual.

The carers that have been visiting my house and looking after me have been very pleasant and professional, cooking and cleaning and taking care of the things that I am unable to do myself. I would recommend to any future prospective clients.

There is no doubt the staff are very caring and pleasant. They usually arrive on time as per the arrangements. My only communication with the office was not really good, they seemed to be unorganised. They did not have any of mum's next of kin phone numbers on their system.

All of the carers are respectful to my wife and very well mannered. When they come into our home they all are very happy, they bring sunshine in with them. The only gripe I have got is that a male carer attending, a nice man but embarrassing for my wife. Other than that we have no complaints.

We would prefer an earlier morning visit but that was not available. Most carers are good but some are in a hurry to get away. Some carers do not want to shower my wife, saying the shower chair is not safe.

Very impressed overall with the service.
I can access daily the detailed care notes on the system. I live quite a distance away so it's become my eyes and ears for how my father is every day.
My father seems happy as the staff are patient, helpful and caring.
My Homecare responds to any queries
I have and passes on messages to carers. Also, respond quickly and let me know if any concerns.

Review from F H (Wife of Client) published on 24 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Your service is fine, but this is due to one/two certain carers, when other carers come the service level drops considerably as some carers don't know how to service my husband with his personal needs, such as fitting the conveen correctly. If the conveen is ill-fitted it causes discomfort for my husband
as he has to wait for the carer to come in the morning (having been left wet for some hours) and excessive extra work as there is loads of extra washing that this creates.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
the carers are very friendly and get on with the care when they arrive. Over time you get to know the carers well and it's sad when they leave as they begin to feel like part of the family. The only fault is they don't wash my dad's hair very often but will if asked. Maybe in the summer months, my dad
could benefit from a wash-at-night visit. Any problems have been dealt with when I have rung the office.

The carers of My Homecare are excellent in looking after my father, they sort my father out in the mornings, they get him up, wash him and get him ready for the day. Then at lunchtime, they come and give him his dinner, and then the night call they come to put him to bed.

All staff from My Homecare have been really friendly and helpful with my mum, who came out of hospital twelve months ago. It is a weight off my mind that I can rely on the staff to be there for her when I am away or busy caring for another member of my family. Thank you for the help and support you
provide and for full peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has received excellent care from My Home Care Derby. All the carers are friendly communicative and efficient. Sometimes the job is not easy when dealing with people with dementia, (such as my father) but the carers are always polite and respectful.


I was particularly impressed when my father

had a few weeks in hospital and therefore care had to be suspended. On his return home, his care package resumed immediately allowing him to settle back at home with ease.
I would recommend My Home Care to anyone.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.815 for My Homecare Derby is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 135 Ratings = 4.815

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for My Homecare Derby is based on 24 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.
