  • Just Ask Care and Support, Skipton
Just Ask was founded in 2012 with a goal to provide personal care and home help services to the elderly in the Skipton area. It is now recognised locally as a company that delivers the highest levels of home care services in the area.

Just Ask's reputation has grown because of their very high standards, consistency, compassion and eagerness of all their staff to provide 'a level of service that they would be happy for a member of their family to receive' and this is now the company's mission statement.

Just Ask's ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude means that every one of their home care users receive a level of service that generally surpasses their expectations.

Just Ask's service user's individual needs are very important to them and they want to help their service users to live safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as it is safe to do so. Whether their need is assistance to get up, wash and dress every day or assistance with a shower several times a week, Just Ask are happy to help. They can also prepare a freshly cooked meal, assist with medication and be there at the end of the day to assist with getting ready for bed.

Just Ask recognises that choosing a home care provider is a very important decision. They also understand that everyone is an individual and has different needs. Just Ask listens to those needs and work hard to put together a detailed support plan that understands and meets the individual needs of its service users.

Just Ask's core values are respect, compassion, empathy, dignity, integrity and imagination and they work hard to uphold these principles with all its service users.

Just Ask had already been providing a Cleaner/companion service for my mum but took on the full personal care package when the previous company pulled out of the area at short notice in summer. Her care package changed significantly after a fall in August and the Just Ask team fulfil her increased needs
as required.
All of the team are caring and mum enjoys their visits. They properly engage with her rather than doing a 'tick box' exercise. If anything crops up, such as new or different care needs then a quick call to the office gets it included in the daily schedule and the whole team seem to be updated with the changes. Equally, the team advise me (or attending family) of any concerns. The team leave comprehensive notes for each visit which is really useful to the family who use them to organise any other changes in the daily routine.
It is good to have one consistent team providing familiar faces for mum. I have full confidence in them.

Excellent, reliable, high standard level of care. Engaging, empathetic and thorough staff. The service provides for all eventualities, giving confidence to Family; from shopping: liaising with other care agents / GPs, arranging pharmacy deliveries, to escorting to appointments. Highly recommended.

My mum was reluctant at first regarding carers coming into her home after she was discharged from hospital. However, the care and understanding she has received from her carers has been wonderful. She looks forward to their visits (twice a day) and it is reassuring to know that someone is checking
up on her. There are a number of carers who go above and beyond what we expected eg. calling in at shops if mum is running out of something, some will stop and have a chat and cup of tea with her and even when they have time off taking her for a coffee in town. Mum is very lonely at times and loves company and the compassion and friendship her carers have offered has been wonderful. Thank you!!! We greatly appreciate everything you do for mum.

Excellent Service. Very professional, friendly and informative. Easily accessible by telephone to both the managers and carers.
I have rated the care/support as good as we only experienced their service for a short time before our relative went into respite care, however, I would definitely recommend
this service.

Review on behalf of my Mum. Mum was extremely reluctant to have strangers in her home but once she got to know the girls she was very happy. She said they were all lovely. Nothing is too much for them. Very caring. Sorry when she had to give the service up. Many thanks to you all.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Just Ask Care and Support is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 5.000 for Just Ask Care and Support is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Just Ask Care and Support is based on 11 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.
