I would have no problem recommending Homeinstead Thurrock for your relatives care needs.
Thank you so much for your kind review Andrew. The Care Pros enjoy visiting your mum and she has taught them how to knit! As you know, the office team is always available if ever you need to talk or have any concerns.
My mum has had help know for over a year for me it gives me the peace of mind that she sees someone twice a day. The girls have become friends to my mum and this has made it so easy for my mum to accept this bug change in her life. Whenever there is need for any alterations to the care package it is done quickly and efficiently. I can only say how the care me mum receives fits her every need
Thank you so much for your review. It is really great to see the support our care professionals provide fits mum's needs entirely as well as providing you and your siblings with peace of mind day to day.
The only reason we stopped using the service was because my mum had to go into residential care. She misses her 'ladies' and the fact that several of them still visit her in the care home is testament to their ongoing support.
Thank you for taking the time to write such lovely words. Sending you lots of love. The Home Instead team x
All the staff at Home Instead are fabulous, from the office staff to the carers. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
My mum really enjoys her visits from the carers and looks forward to the girls coming to help her.
I would 100% recommend this company without a shadow of doubt.
Thank you so much for making my life that little bit easier, knowing you are supporting my mum.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means so much to us to know that both you and mum are happy with the service being provided from both the Care Professionals and the Office Team.
Home instead have been an excellent service for my father. He currently lives in a care home and is restricted on being outside. Home instead East have provided kind caring support for him by offering companionship, and providing my dad with more freedom by getting extra time away from home into the community.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our service. Being able to provide a level of freedom that would not otherwise be possible, has enabled your Father to access the community safely, with kindness and care whilst retaining his independence. We are pleased to be able to enable this freedom and give your Father a chance to get out and about safely.
My husband has been diagnosed with Parkinsons since 2020 and had a fairly rapid decline in his mobility which made life hard for us both. One problem was that he has always hated showers but could no longer use a bath and this caused arguments whenever I tried to shower him. A friend recommended Home Instead and life has been transformed. Both of the two ladies who sometimes alternate handle him so well that he actually looks forward to them coming. It means I can do jobs like sorting his medication, or even just reading the paper. Both of our lives have been hugely improved.
Thanks so much for your lovely review. It really means a lot to hear how much of a difference our Care Professionals have made for you and your husband. We're so glad they've built such a great relationship with him and that it's made things a little easier for you both. We'll make sure your kind words are passed on to the team.
I was very pleased with the care I received.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I know how much our team loves coming to see you.
These include bathing or showering my wife,preparing breakfast for us both,washing-up the dishes and dealing with clothes washing.They could not be more helpful leaving our house as they would leave their own.An enormous help to us both.They enormously help any stress levels that would build up on occasions .They are patient and understand some of my wife's difficulties brought about by her Parkinson's Condition.Exellent people from an outstandingly run Organization
My mother looks forward to the visits, and I know I can trust you to help and pass on useful information.
Very poor communication-emails not replied to & the app is one way communication from the carer, would be better if could be added to by the client/family. Gerry was very friendly on the initial visit but follwing my Dad being admitted to hospital long term her lack of response to my email cancelling the carers was downright rude i was just blocked from using the app- no acknowledgement at all or concern for my Dads health.When i previously emailed the reply was blunt & i had to request receipt of the email to check it had been received. The carers that visited my Dad were lovely & tried to what we requested -some tasks were not completed due to my Dad refusing but we were assured they would be eventually.
Samantha, I am genuinely surprised by this review because it simply does not provide an accurate reflection of either the care provided to your father or the way our team communicated throughout his time with us.

Sadly, my mother passed away before we were able to get full use of the service. However the team from top to bottom were amazing in the days that we were able to use them.
Everyone was kind, well-mannered, and supportive. I would highly recommend them.
We would strongly recommend using Home Instead for in-home care visits.
Thank you for your kind feedback, and for choosing Home Instead to support both your father-in-law and your mum during such important times. We're delighted to hear that our care professionals and office team were able to provide the compassionate, flexible, and reliable support that helped your mum remain in the comfort of her own home for longer.
The helped her lots with different little Jobs my mum needed doing and reassured her with with remembering every day tasks.
Leigh especially built a good relationship with my mum and was very good with her. My mum really listened her when giving advice.
My husbands carer works efficiently and sensitively. She is a pleasure to have in our home. Just like a friend she chats away to my husband while washing him.
Thank you for your review and placing your trust in Home Instead. I'm pleased that you are finding the service beneficial and enjoying the compansionship of your Care Professional.
First time using Home Instead for my elderly Mum, whilst I was on holiday and both Mum and I were very pleased with the service. I appreciated the home visit by the managers prior to the service starting and their attention to detail when discussing exactly what Mum's needs were. I would recommend this service and would use again. Thanks to Megan and the team.
We look forward to seeing you both again in the future.
It's sometimes very difficult persuading your parents that they need care in the home, but having engaged the professional, caring and friendly team at Home Instead, we and our parents couldn't be happier. We're confident that they are safe and well looked after and we get daily updates on all the visits, which is a great comfort. Over the last 2 years the care needs have fluctuated and Home Instead have been helpful providing advice and offering flexibility to meet our needs. Outstanding Service.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that you and your parents feel happy, reassured and well supported by our team. It means a great deal to know that our care, communication and flexibility have made such a positive difference.
