Over the last 2 1/2 years of service from this company, we have both been extremely pleased with the level of care, friendliness, helpfulness and compassion from all the staff. The Office Staff are very efficient and helpful should any hiccups occur.
Would highly recommend this service and long may

they continue.

Overall Experience

I remember being daunted and nervous about arranging care for my mum after a fall and a spell in hospital. When I contacted Home Instead I knew I had found the right provider. They understood my mother's needs, were professional and made sure my parents were comfortable with the care that was being

provided. All the carers were excellent, and a delight to get to know. They focused on mum's needs and the daily communication provided me with a full understanding on how she was progressing. After awhile my dad also needed some care which Home Instead provided, at times this was challenging care but all the carers supported mum and dad wonderfully until eventually my parents needs required 24 hour care in a care home. If you are hesitating to contact Home Instead, don't hesitate anymore, you will be pleased and relieved that you made the call.

Overall Experience

Our father has been receiving a comprehensive level of care from Home Instead (HI) for many months now and from my point of view they have been excellent. We are now able to go away and leave our father for short periods of time knowing that Home Instead can be trusted to deliver a high level of service,

support and professionalism. This included the collecting and administering of new medication whist we were away. Their daily tasks involve intimate care, help with dressing, the planning and serving of all his meals, light housework, all his washing and ironing and most importantly companionship.
From our father's point of view he has a consistent team who have really got to know him and who care for his needs in a dignified and professional manner enabling him to remain at home for as long as possible and most importantly they make him laugh.

Overall Experience

The care team who looked after my sister in law made a huge difference to her life. They restored her confidence and with visits lasting an hour each time there was no need to rush through each task. The continuity of the carers was well thought out and this also gave me peace of mind. Would certainly

recommend Home Instead - and already have - to anyone who wanted an exceptional care team. Care with a capital C from this company.

Overall Experience

Home Instead (Mid Cornwall) has been very obliging and helpful since I contacted them for some help with my husbands care. We were visited at home and my husbands needs assessed and a plan made. Great care was taken to ensure that my husband and his carers made a good fit and got on well. When I needed

to increase the hours of help, we were accommodated very quickly. We regularly meet with the manager to check if any changes need to be made and that we are happy with the service. We are more than satisfied and grateful to Home Instead for their professionalism and compassion across the board.

Overall Experience

Home Instead (Mid Cornwall) provided reliable, caring support that enabled my brother to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. From the beginning his needs were accurately assessed and the review gave him the confidence to say what he needed rather than forcing suggestions on him.
New

carers were always introduced so that he knew who was coming on a particular day and every carer took the time to talk to him, showing an interest in his stories and what he was doing..
I recommend Home Instead (Mid Cornwall) without reservation.

Reply from Patrick Hughes, Director at Home Instead (Mid Cornwall)

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for saying such kind words about the Caregivers who visited your brother. They enjoyed spending time with him and we are glad he was able to stay living at home.

My mother and father truly benefitted from the care they received from Home Instead. The carers were punctual, caring and hard working. My mother has dementia and the carers experience came to the fore as they were able to manage her daily needs and care with just the right touch. I would definitely

recommend Home Instead.

Overall Experience

When we decided to look for a little care for mum we were recommended Home Instead in St. Austell. Mum was really apprehensive and didn't really want any help and especially in her home. We had a trial run and the team came out to assess mums needs, she now looks forward to seeing the carers. They bring

a bit of sunshine to mum's days whether it is first thing in the morning or giving her tea in the evenings. The chats, caring, and assistance is second to none. Mum loves their visits. If anytime we needed to make changes to her care package due to extra needs, everything possible was done to achieve this. It is such a caring company and it helps the family with caring for mum.

Reply from Patrick Hughes, Director at Home Instead (Mid Cornwall)

Thankyou so much for your kind review. The caregivers really enjoy seeing her and we're really pleased the visits are helping her to enjoy her life at home.

Overall Experience

Mum and I have found the care given by Home Instead excellent.
Mum came out of a care home to be cared for in her own home after hip surgery four years ago. Mum is now 99 years old, has carers twice a day and has a lot of help from myself.
The carers have been punctual, genuinely caring, efficient,

adaptable and hard working. They have become friends to Mum and myself. The team remains generally stable and any new carers are carefully supervised in their new role.
Management are helpful and sympathetic, any problems are quickly rectified and we have a regular thorough review.
All care is expensive but this care provider represents good value for money in this market.
This care gives Mum the best quality of life available, maintains her independence in her own home and enables me to spend quality time with Mum.
I thoroughly recommend this company.

Reply from Timothy Roe, Owner at Home Instead (Truro, Falmouth & Redruth)

Thank you for your feedback on our services, it is extremely valuable to us. We are delighted that your mum and you are happy with our service and we look forward to continuing to support you both.

Overall Experience

For the past 12 months, Mum has been visited by Home Instead caregivers. I needed help caring for Mum as her dementia progressed and all staff involved have been compassionate, patient and very supportive from the moment I contacted them. Mum was a little apprehensive initially as 'she didn't know them'

but soon got into the routine of the visits and particularly enjoyed their chats with her and having a barrier cream massage!
Due to suffering some falls and then breaking a foot, I reluctantly moved Mum into a care home recently but I will always be so grateful to Home Instead (Mid Cornwall) staff and would definitely recommend them as an option for care.

Reply from Patrick Hughes, Director at Home Instead (Mid Cornwall)

Thank you so much for you kind words. Your mum is lovely and the caregivers always enjoyed seeing her. We were very glad to hear she had successfully made the move into a home nearby.

Overall Experience

A wonderful company staffed by professional and kind staff who have made a real impact on the quality of life for my father and mother, as his carer.
Right from the first meeting with the care manager we were impressed and reassured. He took time to get to know my family; what we needed, my father's

interests as well as full health details. At no point were we rushed to sign a contract (unlike other companies we met with!), however once we were ready the carers were rapidly in place.
The company believes in and delivers, a small team approach to care with wonderful, reassuring and knowledgeable carers. They really engage with Dad throughout the sessions, but also keep an eye on Mum. The carers were introduced by the manager in person and we always know who is coming in.
The care package has already been tweaked as needs have changed, but the ease of contact with the manager has meant that changes to the level of care are seamless.
A massive thank you from all the family.

We have used Home Instead for 4 years and extended the hours of care over this period to meet Mum's increased needs. The team have always been wonderfully flexible and accommodating and complimented each other well to ensure that Mum remained happy and content in her own beloved home.
Sadly we recently

lost Mum and I will have eternal gratitude for the end-of-life care she received from Home Instead.
Thank You Home Instead. Full 100.

Reply from Patrick Hughes, Director at Home Instead (Mid Cornwall)

Thank you so much for your very kind words. Your Mum was a lovely lady and the caregivers all valued seeing her. We were really pleased she managed to be in her beloved own home again for her last few days after leaving hospital.

Home Instead have always had a positive reputation in the local area and having met the owner as he set up the business I could clearly see his passion and care for people, which is essential when running a business that focuses on health and social care. Over time Home Instead have cared for my aunt,

who has been positive about the care received and the support on offer. I continue to hear positive things about Home Instead and often recommend them to people who are looking for care and support.

Overall Experience

Home Instead have been fantastic with my mum right from the start.
I live some distance from my mum, who has lived on her own for more than 20 years and is very independent.
They put my mum first, got to know her, and spent time talking to her. They helped Mum with what she wanted help with, and built

up her trust by listening to her and working to her agenda, not theirs. As Mum's dementia got worse she relied more upon them but they knew her likes and dislikes and spent time with her so she felt like she was valued and safe.
Great communication, the online portal and daily task notes kept me informed on Mum's state of mind, health and activities. Appropriate phone calls for urgent contact and emails when less urgent.
When circumstances change e.g. stay in hospital, a deterioration in her dementia, increase in help needed, Home Instead helped me by adapting the services they provided giving me advice and the support I needed.
I would recommend their services without hesitation.

Human beings treating human beings as they would like to be treated themselves is all that needs to be said about this excellent provider. From the start of a difficult journey, and during, we have been overwhelmed by the kindness and support we have received. Special mention must go to the care manager

and another member of staff in particular to whom we will always be very grateful. On behalf of our entire family, thank you.

Overall Experience

Home Instead absolutely came to my rescue! Recommended by a family member who is a community nurse, this wonderful organisation provided the short-term support I needed after several weeks of home nursing. My husband’s health was slowly improving but it was reassuring to have a friendly and competent

carer to supervise showering and, to my delight, to carry out light household tasks such as ironing. I was able to leave the house for a short while. Right from the initial home assessment visit, the process was easy, and the staff was professional, caring and friendly. Home Instead was there in our hour of need. Highly recommended - thank you.

Reply from Patrick Hughes, Director at Home Instead (Mid Cornwall)

Thank you so much for your very kind words. It's lovely for the team to hear the care is working so well. We hope your husband's health continues to improve.

I cannot speak highly enough of this super company and it starts at the top for sure. The manager is very approachable, helpful and intuitive and he really listens carefully and works out what the family as a whole needs. The carers that visit Mum are lovely, and Mum feels she has made new friends.

The level of support offered to the family as a whole is superb.

Home Instead have been and continues to be fantastic carers for my mother who suffers from dementia. As I don't live nearby it's so important to feel that you have access to quality, empathetic and practical support on a regular basis. This is what Home Instead do so well. They listen to Mum's needs,

spot the changes that may mean practical readjustments and help work through managing any changes calmly and empathetically.
Because of this support, Mum is able to continue to live independently and very happily in Cornwall where she grew up.
