I have only received care with the company since December 2020. Excellent care, nothing too much trouble if struggling. Girls have all the PPE equipment and very smart. Cannot say what it is like to have the same carers and always on time. I am glad I went for this company when told I had to change
carers. Could not have chosen better - other 15-years with the same care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ever since my brother has been in the care of My Homecare Derby he’s been well taken care of. I’m extremely happy to give a review that my brother is in safe hands and getting the care and treatment he needs. I can tell he’s been well taken care of and for that I want to give my review about how happy
I am with this service. My brother speaks very highly of the carers and how they take good care of him. He feels happy that they give him the strength and motivation to be able to feel active in his property. He always gets his service on time and we appreciate the work the carers have been doing.
Just want to say a big thank you again.

My Homecare staff are very polite and friendly and help me with all care. Carers will go above and beyond. Office staff are very helpful, without the carers I would be in a care home. A friend recommended me to the service.

Review from John T (Husband of Client) published on 26 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally provide very good care and attention. Regular staff are very friendly, careful, gentle and helpful (so says my wife, who is the patient). I personally think the My Homecare team operating in our area are a bit stretched compared to our initial experiences, probably down to natural staff turn
over for personal reasons and demands for home care services rather than nursing home rehabilitation in the current circumstances. As long as one attendee is experienced there aren't any problems, but when two people are drafted in from another area they don't know the patient's issues and needs. This rarely happens and they all try their best and are generally happy, helpful and friendly.

The staff have been caring for my father for a number of years, and I can say that the whole of the family have been very happy with the service the staff provide.
They offer a caring and personal approach to the service they provide, which my father and the family appreciate.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This company has filled a need that many care agencies are reluctant to do. They provide night time sitters as well as daycare, which means that at times when people need that extra, they can escalate up. My friend was reluctant to have carers but has now got used to them being in his house. He gets
on with them easily, and they try to persuade him to get a wash etc. Overall, it has been a good experience changing to this company.

An excellent and caring team. I have found My Homecare Derby team to be very supportive and helpful. The communication from the staff regarding my Mum's health and welfare is excellent.

As a family, we are extremely pleased with the care my father is receiving from the skilled team of carers he has. He is being cared for in a compassionate manner, and being treated as an individual with his wishes being taken into consideration. The carers arrive on time and spend as much time as needed
with him, not rushing him. The app is very informative, and whenever I ring the office, they are very helpful when needing to let them know about appointments and hospital outcomes. We always feel we are being listened to. Thank you to all the team at My Homecare Derby. It is much appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for My Homecare Derby is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  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
  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 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.
