Carers always very polite and helpful.
Nothing is a problem to them.
They always phone us if they suspect dad has a problem with anything and never just leave him.
Always a pleasure to see them when I visit Dad.

Outstanding care company above the rest. Trained and experienced staff. Arrived safely and in reasonable time. Carry out correct important personal care. Good Communication skills. All PPE is applied when needed. Apply correct creams, bathing, and dressing. Moving and handling are carried out in a safe
environment with reasonable notice. Regularly commodified and prompted. Personal care and dignity always polite and respectful of family and friends. I would certainly recommend these carers to anyone who is in need of a care package for their friends and family. These are genuine carers, not a silhouette company which unfortunately are out there. Very happy with my homecare derby. Thank you. Looking forward to the rest of my mum's care.

Your care and support are helping my mum to have her wish of staying at home in her later life.
The carers are very kind and helpful and always attend every planned visit. They take time to get to know her so they can make her care personal.

The team from My Homecare Derby provide a best in class service for my mother, who after a fall, finds it difficult to shower and dress herself. Two daily calls, one in the morning and another in the evening, enable her to continue living in her own home and provide frequent contact for her. The carers
always have a chat and help to keep her spirits up. The app is a great communication tool as I live abroad.

My Homecare have been looking after our elderly parents who both have dementia for about the last 5 months. Mum and Dad are cared for by the same few regular carers at the same times each day. It’s something which we thought was really important to enable them to build relationships and routines and
feel comfortable with receiving care from people outside of our family in their own home.
Everyone we have had contact with at My Homecare have been lovely, from the office staff who answer and quickly deal with day-to-day queries over the phone and by text, the extremely knowledgeable lady who completes the care plan with us, the very helpful people in finance, who I’ve spoken to a lot, and most of all the carers themselves who arrive at every call with a smile in their face and make it possible for Mum and Dad to continue to live safely and comfortably at home. Thank you!

The carers that have visited my dad have been kind caring and thoughtful towards him. They have remained professional at all times. I cannot fault the carers who visit dad. The carers are kind and thoughtful towards dad at all times. They will contact me or my sister should they have any concerns.

My mother has been receiving care four times a day for over three and a half years. Over this period I have been impressed by the caring yet professional attitude of the staff. They have always treated Mum with sensitivity, empathy, and compassion. They have proved indispensable and have allowed my
mum to continue to live in her own home. Both Mum and myself are extremely grateful and appreciative.

Good and thorough service so far. Reliable and very friendly staff. Respectful to my dad’s needs and requirements. Nothing has been too much trouble to date. Having discussed my dad’s conditions at the start, the staff have been careful with how they have dealt with him, and always treated him with
kindness, dignity and respect. Only one issue with early arrivals for the evening appointment well before the allotted time, but having spoken to the office, they have listened and has now been sorted satisfactorily.

Top-class service. Every carer goes above and beyond for my mum.
I can rest easy knowing that Mum is happy and well cared for and has had her daily medications.

Mum was released from the hospital after over 8 weeks so she had lost her previous care package and looking back, it was the best thing that could have happened as the service she now receives is excellent.
All the staff look after her so well as though she was their own Mum. The care she receives
can not be faulted in any way and all the staff are a credit to your company.

Fantastic care package. The carers are very caring and helpful and do everything my mum asks for.

The care that my wife is receiving is first-class. She is confused some days however, after the care she always picks up and feels better in herself. The timings of the carers are excellent and they are always punctual.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.626) out of 10 for My Homecare Derby is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.626 for My Homecare Derby is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.626

  • 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 My Homecare Derby is based on 36 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.
