Overall Experience

I am extremely pleased with the respite care I received recently, which allowed me a few hours to do other errands safely in the knowledge that my elderly mum was not at home alone.

The coordinator kindly arranged two different ladies to come on several occasions. They were reliable, and respectful, and executed their tasks enthusiastically and professionally. I will definitely use this service in future and highly recommend My Homecare West Kent to others looking for support.

Best carers I have used.
Always prepared to do anything asked.
All my carers are overworked and underpaid.
They never complain about anything.

The company is always easy to contact.

Review from A L (Wife of Client) published on 11 October 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband was very ill when my family and myself felt we needed further help. Although My Homecare were very busy, they made time for us which happened to start at a weekend, the most difficult time. They made themselves available and treated my husband with dignity, care and gentleness with even a few jokes. They came twice a day sometimes with one member of staff but mainly with two. It helped to have the same carers. Words cannot express mine and my families thanks for all you did.

Review from Liz W (Daughter of Client) published on 29 September 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The overall standard is spoilt by the lack of consistency with the timing of calls. Over 50% of the time the carers arrive too late to prepare or feed my dad, as he has lunch between 12:30-1 pm with his wife. It is very stressful to wait until 1:30-2 pm and the meal is then cold. It is a good standard when delivered on time. The turnover of staff is also too high and my dad is much happier with carers that he knows.

Reply from Katie Starr, Director at My Homecare West Kent

All feedback is valued. We operate a mobile flexible team supporting vulnerable clients. It is never easy and Covid makes it even more challenging. We visited your dad’s home over 230 times. On only two occasions we arrived later than the appointment window and we called each time. Most understand...

Overall Experience

My mum received fantastic help from the lovely carers who popped in to check if she needed anything or anything doing. She always text me to let me know they had been, and always said how lovely they were, very friendly, polite and ever so helpful. A big thank you to you all for doing an amazing job.

Overall Experience

Being a full-time carer for my mother I was very worried knowing I was having an operation and wouldn't be able to help her in the night after the operation. I was put in touch with My Homecare and they put our minds at rest. They gave the overnight help required and were so kind and considerate. I would definitely use them again, I cannot praise them enough!

Review from David E (Brother of Client) published on 6 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Homecare West Kent took over the care of my brother after his long term carers stepped back so it was vital for me and my family that they would understand his needs and look after him accordingly. I needn't have worried. Not only did they carry out their duties with diligence and professionalism, but they also made sure that his birthday was a very special celebration and gave him companionship and kindness beyond the job description. Although My Homecare West Kent only looked after my brother for eleven months (because he died suddenly), it was four times per day every day and my family were very grateful to know that they were there. My brother also sang their praises and appreciated their kind and gentle manner often. When he died, it became clear just how much the individual carers genuinely cared about and connected with my brother on a human level. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Review from K J (Mother of Client) published on 15 June 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Very quick and professional, yet caring and friendly response to request for care. All details were taken with no stone being left unturned. Request for appropriate carer was met 100% and the young carer provided is wonderful. Made immediate bond with my daughter, very professional, all safe-guarding and safety issues (ie hygiene, infection control etc) strictly adhered to. The carer was so quick to grasp the needs of my daughter and respond with amazing perception and huge success. She is like a ray of sunshine coming into our home. Contact with the management is regular, caring, understanding and 100% professional.

Review from Susan R (Daughter of Client) published on 27 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
In the past two months during my weekly visits to Kent, I have met a number of the carers who are looking after my housebound 92-year-old dad. All have been kind, helpful and thoughtful.
Now I can no longer visit my dad due to the Coronavirus, I have complete peace of mind that he is being cared for properly and is well looked after.

Huge thanks to all the staff who are working so hard, putting themselves at risk to look after those in the community who can not look after themselves.
