Why Choose MyLife Homecare Edinburgh?

Fully Regulated, High-Quality Care

As part of Hartwig Care, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring that every aspect of our service meets strict quality and safety standards. From medication management to personal care, our systems are built to deliver safe, effective, and accountable care every day.

Compassionate, Highly Trained Carers

Our carers are the heart of everything we do. Each one is carefully selected, trained to a high standard, and supported by an experienced management team. Many live locally – whether in St Albans, Sidcup, or Weybridge – which allows them to offer consistent, punctual, and personalised care.

Continuity of Care and Familiar Faces

We believe in consistency and familiarity, not a revolving door of carers. With MyLife, clients benefit from seeing the same friendly faces as often as possible. This builds trust and makes everyday support more comfortable and reassuring.

Personalised Support Tailored to You

We never offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Every care package is tailored to the individual’s needs, preferences, routines, and family input. Whether you need private home care in Hertfordshire, live-in care in Bexley, or short-term support after hospital discharge in Enfield, our care plans are flexible and responsive.

Transparent Pricing and Flexible Packages

There are no hidden costs or confusing contracts. We offer transparent pricing and flexible options, whether you want a few hours a week or full-time live-in care. Our private home care packages are ideal for families who want premium care tailored to their unique needs.

Local Expertise and Community Focus

Our teams are based in the boroughs we serve – we know the people, the streets, the GPs, and the local services. Whether you’re near Bexleyheath Clocktower, Enfield Town, or walking distance from Camden Lock, you’ll benefit from a team that understands the local area and can respond quickly to your needs.

All MyLife Edinburgh carers must have a valid PVG before they can work with our clients.  In addition, we will seek 2 references from previous employers or places of study before a carer is offered a role with MyLife.
We advertise, interview, select and employ all carers directly.  We train our carers in-house using a dedicated training team.  Once training has been completed, new carers then shadow an experienced carer before they embark on care delivery for our clients by themselves.

Our Testimonials

Excellent communication from management meet and greet. Carer perfect, lovely lady, very caring, knows the needs of the client. Has common sense. Regular communication by letter from providers. Easy to deal with.

M. C. (Service User)

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.

G. F. (Niece of Client/Service User)

I am very pleased with the service MyLife provides. The staff, including the office staff, are very friendly and cheerful.

H. S. (Wife of Client/Service User)

I have been using MyLife 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.

C. M. (Daughter of Client/Service User)

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.
