This agency is an absolute disgrace. Their approach is to place an inappropriate carer into your home and hope they will cope. I had to complain again and again to the office when carers had no clue how to cook a simple meal, left all the meal preparation to my elderly father, didn't alert us to a painful
rash my mother was suffering from, or were unable to use the hoist. In 2 months they sent 6 different carers (only 1 of which was capable) which was unsettling and difficult for my mother to adjust to, and one handover took 10 minutes and the new carer had to figure out how to work the hoist herself. I could go on and on, but worst of all was when I discovered my mother had not had her teeth brushed for 5 weeks. "Oral Care" had not been added to the list of duties provided by the office, but none of the carers questioned why and left her teeth to rot. If I hadn't been so stressed I'd have raised a formal complaint and reported them to CQC. Do your research and find another agency.

Our priority is always to provide outstanding-quality care, and we follow rigorous processes to ensure carers are trained, competent and informed about the specific needs of each client. We also maintain detailed logs of care provided, including oral care and equipment usage. We would welcome the opportunity to clarify your misunderstandings or concerns further.

CareYourWay has become an indispensable and highly valued part of the care team for my grandparents. Their team worked flawlessly alongside other healthcare professionals, always maintaining a truly person-centered approach. I can't recommend them highly enough - from their skilled and compassionate
professional carers to their exceptional 24/7 on-call team, who are always available to provide support whenever needed.
In my experience, no question was ever too trivial, and no situation too complex for CareYourWay to address with care and expertise. They truly go above and beyond.

I'm entirely satisfied with the care I receive, in fact, the group of carers working in my area are as good as one could ever hope for, in short, exemplary. I have no hesitations in saying that CareYourWay have provided me with the most meticulous care and support I have yet to receive. I therefore
would rate them the best by some. I believe anytime I felt the need to contact the office, I would receive a prompt and satisfactory answer. CareYourWay have provided carers with whom I have great confidence and rapport with. Resulting in the thing I have come to value most.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.724 for CareYourWay Devon is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 174 Ratings = 4.724

  • b) 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 CareYourWay Devon is based on 28 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
