Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Carers have been kind, caring and respectful as well as professional and I would very much recommend the service. I have had no concerns in the year that they have provided support for our family. The company are also highly responsive and there has always been someone on the end of the phone if I have
needed anything.

The two carers for my Mother are always punctual which is important as her medication is time critical.
I feel they go above and beyond for her. Polite and very respectful. My Mother is so comfortable with them she calls them her laddies.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum's carers attend to her medication twice a day where the service is extremely good, timely and efficient, given what we need, at this stage. Mum is not the easiest of clients but both the carers and managers of Time For You Care are extremely professional at interacting with her and keeping as positive
an outlook on the situation, as is possible. I am very grateful for their approach and what this team does here. My own and my brothers' thanks!

Review from Thomas B (Client) published on 24 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm very happy to send you a personal review of my own experiences with homecare and it's been excellent. After recovering in hospital from a broken hip, I needed care at home with washing and dressing by professional carers. My loving wife has her own medical problems and struggles to cope with mine
as well. At the moment I can manage adequately with a wake-up carer in the morning before noon. My carers are an interesting and pleasant bunch, mainly from Nigeria and South India and we have also become friends. They do a great job and I look forward to seeing them. They work hard and make life worth living. I am very grateful to you and your staff for helping me to make my life easier.

Review from Angela D (Daughter of Client) published on 17 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
After a few problems (mostly with times that were promised but not fulfilled). I am very happy with the carers that look after my father. Tey are friendly and respectful and always have time to have a chat which my father enjoys. However, I find that when telephoning the office and informing them about
my father's day out appointments or when I am staying over, they never seem to inform the carers and subsequently the carers call me or call at the house, which I feel it's a waste of their time.

Excellent and consistent care provided by this organisation. Very thorough when gathering and documenting all information relating to my mum from the family. Carers are just lovely, always on time and document everything accurately, they are always helpful, engaging and cheerful. When communicating
with the office, staff are helpful, friendly and efficient.

Review from K F (Daughter of Client) published on 5 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Time For You have been providing at-home care for my 92-year-old father for over a year now. They currently provide three visits a day and assist him with meals, medication and hygiene care. The carers who look after him are wonderful. He struggled at first with what he felt was a nuisance as he is
fiercely independent but has adapted well. I live 500 miles away and knowing that my dad is in safe hands is a great comfort to me. The carers ensure he doesn’t run out of essentials by contacting me so I can order what he needs online; food, toiletries, new pyjamas etc. They promptly inform me of any medical concerns and will call GP if they are concerned or Dad informs them of any pain/feeling unwell. They have gone out of their way to pick up medication from the pharmacy outside of his allotted time slot. They assist me with the process for additional support and I have an excellent relationship with the team supervisor who answers my calls/concerns promptly, even on his day off. Great support.

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 4.600 for Time for You (TfY) Care is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 50 Ratings = 4.6
  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 Time for You (TfY) Care is based on 8 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 = 4.8
  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.
