Found My Life purely by searching online. My mother was being discharged from hospital and I needed reliable support for her. The business manager was very helpful and saw her in hospital. All the staff have been great really can't fault them. I'd recommend them 100%.

MyLife supply carers at 7:30 am and 5 pm. The carers in the morning help me with a hand wash. They also make porridge for breakfast and a cup of coffee. They also fill a thermos with boiling water so that I can make a hot drink.
At 5 pm the carers make a sandwich which is kept in the refrigerator for
the next day's lunch. They also prepare a vegetable stew for my evening meal. The carers help me get into my sleeping shirt. They fill the thermos again so I can make hot drinks in the evening.

Arrangements are very good overall. Staff on the whole very pleasant. Some care staff are more competent than others.
Punctuality of visits sometimes not as wished (but I understand reasons for delays).

I was very impressed with the patience and perseverance shown by the care staff who tried repeatedly to gain the trust of my aunt who has dementia. Despite her hostility the staff kept trying to provide support. Excellent support was also provided by management.

I've been using MyLife Edinburgh for many years, The carers have always been absolutely brilliant but the office staff need to be better. They fail to pass messages on and often are quite evasive when responding to questions over visit times.

Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

We are delighted to hear that your carer team deliver a brilliant service for you. We will review our office-to-client communication methods to understand how we could make this aspect of service equally brilliant.

Very good twice-daily package, 7/7 a week certainly helping my 90-year-old Dad manage at home. Valuable service! Without the package, my dad may have to consider care home placement. Most weeks staff turn up, only occasional unplanned absences.

Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

We are absolutely delighted to be helping your Dad to live well at home. He is a pleasure to work with and we have enjoyed our longstanding relationship with you both.

I have been using MyLife Edinburgh for about five months to help with care for my elderly parents, both with dementia and have always been impressed with the friendly care given by the lovely carers and also all the staff in the office who have answered my queries promptly and efficiently.
My mother,
in particular, can be difficult with her dementia, and the carers proved to be so patient and caring with her.
I would recommend MyLife to anyone seeking help with any loved one.

Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

We are delighted that our service to your parents has proved to be such a success, and we will be sure to feed your positive comments back to our care delivery team. If we can do anything further to assist you, we are only a phone call away, so please do not hesitate to get in touch.

We needed a care package quickly and were impressed at the speed at which the details were arranged. The carers were punctual, polite and patient. They assisted my husband to recover his confidence and independence. We required the care for a short time only and were more than satisfied with the provider.

We are pleased to have been able to assist and delighted that your husband recovered so swiftly. We wish you well and please do not hesitate to make contact with us again in the future if we can be of any further assistance.

Added stress due to admin problems. Delays for restart after I accepted and offered to halve my visits while you were short-staffed (and covid) bad admin. I felt that no new staff had any prior knowledge of me ie did not read my file. As a result, I have been upset during phone calls. I don't get the
rota before visits very often, rota changes are upsetting, not good.

Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

We are sorry to hear of your experience which has resulted in your feeling upset. We absolutely do not want you to feel distressed by your care service when you should feel supported. I have asked the office quality team to look into this for you and we would welcome your contact to discuss matters further, should you feel you would like to speak with us formally.

Overall experience is satisfactory with some variability in quality of care.

We have been grateful for this agency finding extra shifts when asked. Generally reliable, turning up for shifts. Could change beds and clothing more often. Would be nice if the staff were trained nurses. Management do regular reviews.

We are pleased to have been able to assist you with extra shifts to support changing needs and I am glad you find us to be reliable.

The carers are mostly friendly, efficient, and supportive but the management/administration is difficult. Yesterday, my carer didn't arrive at the usual time of 12/12.30pm for a 2-hour shift. I hadn't received a new rota by post. I rang the agency at 1.15pm, who didn't know where the carer was, but
told me to expect a carer at 2pm. I explained I had to leave at 2.30pm for a medical appointment so was told I'd get a call back with an alternative time. At 5.10pm, still no call. I phoned again. I was told a carer had been at 3pm and I wasn't there. I stated the obvious (I told you I was out) and was told I'd be called back. No calls until I rang today and asked when the carer would come to make up for yesterday and was promised a callback. A different person phoned back saying that as I hadn't been in yesterday, had cancelled the shift, refused a visit today and not been at home when the carer came, I would be charged for the shift. I challenged this and asked to leave immediately.

Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

We are sorry to hear about your recent experience and hope that our office communication has now gone some way towards explaining what went wrong on this occasion. There will of course be no charge for this unfulfilled visit. We are sorry to hear you have opted to leave your MyLife service, you have been a valued client for many years. The MyLife team wish you well for the future.

My experience with MyLife has been very poor. Disappointing with many occasions of serious neglect and no continuity of carers. Management and head office are extremely poor. Difficulty in understanding of non-English speaking carers.

Reply from Sue Judge, Business Manager at MyLife Edinburgh

I am sorry to hear of your disappointment in your experience of care from the MyLife team. I am hopeful your ongoing chats with our office team do make you feel valued and respected. I do also hope you felt well supported this past weekend by our on-call team in organising emergency additional support for you at short notice and that the positive suggestions made to increase your care to better meet your needs results in a better care solution for you.
The office and management team are always available to talk, meet and work with you towards an improved service, please do continue to keep in touch with us.
