I have nothing but praise for the carers and management of 'your care your home.' The staff that manage my mums needs with regards to her dementia diagnosis is second to none. This team go above and beyond and should be commended for the work they do each and everyone one of them. The manager is incredible
with her kindness and ongoing support to me in difficult times and I cannot thank her and her team enough. Along with the carers who look after my mum, they are all angels and a constant life life to me as well as mum. From my experience, this company comes highly recommended!.

The manager of YCYH and her carers are, beyond doubt, the most sympathetic, dedicated, cheerful and trustworthy people you could wish to have in your home. YCYH is providing a service which is valued and appreciated, and the competence and attitude of the carers certainly boosts morale.

Your care your home is the best home care service we could hope for, all my Uncles needs are met with warmth, kindness, humour and professionalism. He feels grateful to have such support when needed allowing him to remain in his own home to live normally but with the security of knowing he always has
help if required.

Your care your home helped my mum after a very unlucky accident in which she lost her leg at the age of 82.
YCYH allowed mum to get some freedom, helping her with daily life and taking her outside and shopping.
YCYH were flexible and gave us plenty of feedback on mums health, both mental and physical.
Having a local company like YCYH look after mum with the same ladies going to see her helps everyone involved feel safe and secure, it also allows a relationship to build, rather than just client and carer.
Thanks for everything.

With only one exception, all the people working for Your Care Your Home are kind, efficient, caring and helpful. I complained with details about the one lady who seemed totally different to the others. I think she was dismissed. It is difficult compare value for money as we haven't used another agency.

I moved across to this company last year. The manager has been, and still is, so supportive going over and above my expectations of care provider management. The staff are a big part of my mum and dad’s well-being in the form of shopping and company as they are both housebound now. Local business looking
after local people.

Just had a very touching and meaningful experience with two of my mum's carers from Your Care Your Home. They had come round unannounced to sing a couple of hymns with her. Singing hymns is one of the few things my mum can still do, so it was lovely that they decided to do this with her.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We will always strive to make a difference that is unique to the individual, and we are pleased that your Mum enjoyed the Hymn.

An amazing service from all the staff and the manager. My mother feels safe in their care and really appreciates their thoughtfulness and kindness. They go the extra mile to be helpful; even buying a kettle for Mum when hers broke. The manager and carers always contact me straight away with any concerns
about Mum and we both trust all the staff completely. Without their help, Mum would no longer be living independently at the age of 100 years. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any of my family or friends.

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 4.810 for Your Care Your Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.81
  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 Your Care Your Home is based on 19 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.
