Review from R N (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 13 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Over the last 2 1/2 years, Home Instead have cared for my partner's parents who are both now deceased. The service started promptly, changes to the service have been agreed in a timely manner. The whole team at Home Instead were excellent. As we live a distance away, being able to read the respite after each visit gave us reassurance. If there were any issues we would be informed promptly. The carers were professional, considerate, well-informed and did all they could to support my partner's parents and also my partner and myself. They provided advice on practical equipment to aid care. The parents appreciated the kindness and compassionate care provided.

Overall Experience

Through professional service from beginning to end. Initial enquiry, setting out a care plan, contact with my dad and myself, reviews and especially the care my dad received. No negative experiences and I would definitely use the service again. I'm only terminating the service because my dad feels able to shop and clean for himself at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review of our service. We are pleased that we could support your dad, until he was able to be independent again.

Overall Experience
I have been extremely pleased and happy with the care provided by Home Instead over the past few weeks. All the carers have been extremely kind and friendly and have been very willing to do whatever I have asked and more! Whenever I have not given them a lot to do, it has just been lovely to chat with them. It was excellent at the start of my care to be introduced to each of the carers who will be helping me, and I am getting to know them all well, and I look forward to them coming each day! I would certainly recommend the company to anyone who needed care at home. I would not fault them in any way. Any times, I have been in touch with the office, and they have always been very helpful.

Thank you.

From the initial contact and through the time our family were involved with Home Instead your care and support were excellent.
All staff acted professionally, treating both Mum and Dad with dignity and genuine kindness.

Thank you for all you did in what was sadly a very short time.

The care for my mum was exceptional. She enjoyed her visits and the ladies did their best to follow Mum's planned menu. They were very kind and made sure they chatted with Mum and always treated her with compassion and respect when helping with her personal needs. Thank you for always being cheerful, office staff included-always helpful straight away.

We have been very impressed by Home Instead and cannot recommend them more highly. Always professional in their dealing with us and the regular carer they provide are of the highest quality - they are like family members. The office staff are always very helpful and they have managed to find extra care when required. Outstanding in every way!

Review from W M (Husband of Client) published on 2 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
When my wife went into hospital, I objected to the enforcement of the two weeks notice. I consider it should have been halved as in the case of death. It was no excuse to say staff had been allocated and had to be paid as you frequently altered the schedule.

Your service was good, better than other providers as you are more expensive. Perhaps I am being a bit critical but at 98 I tend to compare today with my younger days.

Reply from Anthea Pilkington, Managing Director at Home Instead (Southport)

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that there was an aspect of our service that you were unhappy about.

Review from K G (Niece of Client) published on 20 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We have had both personal and professional experiences of a number of care agencies. Home Instead are impressive because they are reliable, punctual, kind, compassionate, person centred, mature and professional.

They regularly review the care they give, and communicate with family members and health professionals are flexible and responsive when unexpected changes to needs occur. They ensure the client receives care to a high standard. Also do not cut corners and ensure dignity and individuality are maintained. He could not be more impressed or grateful.

Review from G C (Son of Client) published on 7 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The service my father received from Home Instead (Southport) was life-changing. Since he started receiving a morning visit each day, his physical and mental health has markedly improved, so after two years of care, he seems two years younger. The care was reliable and tailored to what he needed, and the carers were kind, competent and fun.

Reply from Jan Anderson, General Manager at Home Instead (Southport)

What a wonderful review; we can't thank you enough, and we are proud to have had such a positive impact on your father's life, with our very best wishes from all the team at Home Instead. Thank you.

The care team were always attentive and understanding and became friends, as well as the carers.
The benefit of having a regular team of carers rather than a procession of new faces cannot be overstated.

Home Instead was always accommodating regarding changing care needs, and the communication with the office staff was always very good.

Reply from Jan Anderson, General Manager at Home Instead (Southport)

Thank you for your review; it means a lot to us that our team of care professionals provided friendship during their visits, it is the foundation upon which Home Instead is built, and we are so grateful that you have taken the time to let people know. Thank you from us all at Home Instead.

Review from E H (Client / Service User) published on 17 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have enjoyed and benefitted from the Home Instead service. However, the sudden rise in the weekly cost of £2.50 caused me to dispense with the service. If you had raised the cost in increments I would not be complaining about the rise. I suggest maybe 50p, £1 and £1. If I were good at maths I would be able to work out the percentage rise from £18.00 to £20.50 an hour. I hope carers' wages will rise accordingly.

Reply from Jan Anderson, General Manager at Home Instead (Southport)

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and we completely understand that rising costs are never welcome, we are proud to be an employer of choice within our sector and we would be honoured to provide support to you in the future should you wish to come back to us.

Review from K R (Daughter of Client) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Home Instead Southport have proved invaluable over the last two and a half years.
Dad always wanted to stay in the house that he moved to in 1971 – the home in which he and my Mum raised the family. Even though his eyesight gradually deteriorated and he needed more help, Dad wanted to live in his own home rather than move to a care home. With the support of his lovely CareGivers, Dad managed to do this until the week before he died – aged 98.
Not only were Dad’s CareGivers kind and responsible but the Home Instead office staff were always helpful. The pandemic of the last two years has seen many challenges within the care sector and I can say that all the staff were consistently professional – their administration was spot-on and they always replied to requests promptly. They also listened and gave appropriate advice on the occasions when I was unsure how to manage a particularly tricky situation from my home 170 miles away.

I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead Southport.

Reply from Anthea Pilkington, Managing Director at Home Instead (Southport)
