My parents have been very happy with their new carers. They had a lot of problems with their previous providers and were nervous about changing. Changing has shown them how poor the previous service was. They now look forward to their visits.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad has been having visits from ‘My Homecare’ for about 18 months now and we are all extremely pleased with the service he receives. Having care at home had represented a massive change to his and Mum’s lives but each carer we have met is friendly, respectful, of good humour and highly competent. Dad
could not remain in his own home without their assistance and for that alone we are very grateful. Equally, management and staff have listened to our requests and have accommodated this at the earliest opportunity. For us, 'My Homecare' provide critical support to Dad, and for the family, at an excellent standard. Thank you all.

All the carers are very polite and do a good job.
The office staff are always there to help and if there is an issue they usually know about it before I ring on my mum's behalf.
Matters get sorted very quickly.
I have every confidence that when I ring, any request it is sorted.
Everybody I have
spoken to is very polite.

This company and its staff have changed my 93-year-old father's life.
Before this company, Dad had been so unhappy with his overall care he became quite disheartened with later life. We as a family began to get quite worried about him until this company was recommended.
Now he has a new lease of life
the one to one caring works for him. He loves his carer as do we, she's like family. Thank you to her.
There is also the added advantage of the app which keeps family up to date of his care.
We as a family recommend My Homecare Derby.
Reply from Latoya Cameron, Registered Manager at My Homecare Derby

Thank you for your review. I am very pleased that we have been able to provide care for your father, which has subsequently changed his outlook on life. We will continue to work with both the family and our client to maintain the best care/relationship.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been having care for 6-months now and we as a family have been extremely satisfied with the professional care he has received from My Homecare. We are kept informed as a family through either the staff personally or through the relative's app, so we know exactly what is happening with
our father. The team do everything they can to accommodate my father's needs which takes a lot of the pressure off us as a family. The whole team from office staff to the carers are pleasant, caring and very helpful and will always come back to you should you have a query.
We would highly recommend them for anyone who is thinking of care at home for their loved ones.

I find the service excellent, the carers are considerate and thoughtful. I've developed a relationship with all of them and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They all really help me and I feel that I am definately improving since they have been coming. My husband appreciates all their help too.

Review from R T (Client) published on 4 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff have made me feel comfortable to receive the care they give. Staff are always clean, polite and smartly dressed. The standard of care is consistently good and new carers are always accompanied by an experienced person. New carers are always introduced to myself and my wife. One point of criticism
is the variability of time of arrival for my morning visit, which is recorded at between 8 and 10.10 am. Most visits occur after 9 am and we receive no communication, even when it is apparent to the carer they will be later than usual. We have needed to ring the office on several occasions to confirm someone is on their way. There is no criticism of the care received but it appears communication between carers, the office and service user could be improved.

My Homecare (Derby) have been caring for my nana since she had her hip replaced. They have been absolutely brilliant. The first time they came I was with my nana and I felt immediately comfortable with them. They are brilliant with her and make her laugh which is really important. I have just come from
Cornwall to visit nana and they are still as amazing and they have kept us in Cornwall up to date with how nana is doing. Which for us, is so important. The manager and some members of staff have been particularly fantastic with nana. Even making her feel special on Christmas day. I cannot recommend them highly enough I know my nana is in good care with them.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  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.
