Review from S S (Daughter of Client) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum and I are delighted with the help and care that mum receives from Sue. She is always cheerful and happy. Mum looks forward to seeing Sue 3x a week. This is all down to Sue. Mum was very resistant to having help with showering or even anyone other then me help her in the house. I had my first holiday with having Sue coming into see mum 7x a week. This made such a huge difference and meant I could relax which is a small miracle! So thank you Sue!

Reply from Catherine Broadbent, Social media and community engagement officer at Home Instead (Northwich & Knutsford)
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear the positive difference Sue has made for both you and your mum.

It's wonderful that your mum now looks forward to Sue's visits, and that you were able to enjoy your holiday with peace of mind knowing she was in safe and caring...

The care received from the Home Instead carers, for both my parents was excellent. I am so pleased that we made the decision to use this company, as all representatives were excellent in their care and compassion. Our parents have passed away now but I do believe, we couldn't have cared for them any better.

My Dad has been looked after by Home Instead since November 2025. Since having a stroke he is being fed via a PEG and has communication issues. On top of this he is an unstable diabetic and this presents a range of complex issues. Home Instead have gone out of their way to ensure that all of their staff are trained to efficiently meet his needs. There are some amazing staff at Home Instead who really go the extra mile, and they have provided Dad with superb care. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone from the managers through to the carers have provided us with a superb service.

We have had some very nice carers from HomeInstead who have looked after my mum and helped her. The office team have been very good as well, as they had to at the last minute arrange a carer for mum due to staff sickness, and this was done really well and both mum and I are grateful for this service. All their staff that we have come into contact with are really good and very kind with mum and we have got on with them well . So thank you for your continued help and support

Mum had excellent care provided from April until August 2025. Home Instead were recommended to me by a trusted friend and I could not have wished for better service. Patience, kindness and gentleness from everyone who dealt with Mum; and reassurance for me at all times.
I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead as Care providers, everyone has proven reliable, honest, capable and objective. Huge thanks to everyone.

I have not given a "value for money" rating as I made no comparison with other companies, accepting the recommendation of my friend's experience.

A great bunch of people offering a caring and reliable service over the last 18 months
From the initial contact right up to the last day HomeInstead have been amazing in the way they've interacted with my aunt during the weekly home visits
The feedback via their App has been useful and helpful
Their team did whatever they could for my aunt - often in quite challenging circumstances due to her declining condition.

They offer a caring professional service - by far the best I have ever come across.

Review from Ian H (Son of Client) published on 7 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Home Instead provided care and support for my mother when it became apparent that she was struggling to manage with her previous arrangements.
Despite being over 100 years old she had lived at home with limited support until spring of this year. An infection left her weak and after a period of respite care in a care home she was keen to return home.
This was made possible by the care provided and despite this being a difficult period as her strength declined the carers were both capable and positive in their support, we were pleasantly surprised that despite there being a number of different carers all made an immediately favourable impression and showed great empathy and concern.
My only regret is that my mother's decline became rapid and we were forced to have her readmitted to the care home.
If we had had a little more time it would have been possible to arrange more comprehensive support with the necessary equipment.

I have nothing but praise for the carers who looked her.

It was truly a privilege to support your mother during such a meaningful time in her life.

I was going travelling for a few months and suggested to mum she had some help whilst I was away. She initially didn't want any care/help, and now after a couple of months she couldn't be happier with Home Instead and looks forward to the visits where she has help with the household chores. She also enjoys going out with the care professional to do some shopping or for just a coffee and a chat. She loves to read the notes from the visits on the App which is very user friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Home Instead provide care mornings and teatimes for three and a half days a week for my Mum, who is in her 90s. They are a very friendly team and, as well as doing a few jobs, they also provide company for Mum.
Mum was very resistant initially to having carers in her home, but overtime the ladies have won her over and she now welcomes their visits.
The carers are very reliable and extremely helpful, for example, when Mum didn't feel well and needed to contact the Drs our carer assisted her. The office staff are also extremely helpful and friendly.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Home Instead for themselves or a family member.

Overall Experience

We have been using Home Instead for 4 months for my husband's care. Initially, 2 visits a day, but following a time in hospital now increased to 4 visits a day. Excellent service from the office based team. Always helpful and supportive. Quality of skills shown by care pro's is quite varied, most are excellent, but a few not so. All care pro's are friendly and on time for visits. We used a different provider before Home Instead, and the difference in service is remarkable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for care provision for themselves or a family member.

Overall Experience
I needed help at home following a hip replacement and Home Instead provided me with carers for the first 4 weeks following my surgery. They provided me with all the help I needed in the preparation of meals, housework, application of surgical stockings etc. In fact there was nothing I felt they could not help me with. Each of the carers worked to the highest of standards. They were all punctual and extremely pleasant. In fact I felt that I got to know them well in the short time they were with me.

Should I be in a similar situation in the future, I would not hesitate to use Home Instead. They are very a very professional organisation.

Reply from Catherine Broadbent, Social media and community engagement officer at Home Instead (Northwich & Knutsford)

In November my parents had a failed experience of respite care. Whilst making plans for them to return home, Home Instead provided an outstanding level of support to enable us to increase carers visits.
I can't understate how much their professional and understanding approach helped with a very difficult situation and this is ongoing.
I feel confident with the whole service and the attitude and support given is inclusive of both admin and care staff as they are all exceptionally helpful and definitely go above and beyond.

Home Instead are a lifeline for us as a family due to having confidence in their overall delivery of care with a professional attitude.

Home Instead have cared for my Mum and Dad for about 4 years now. Their support has adapted to Mum and Dad's changing care needs which has enabled my parents to remain in their own home with their much loved pets.
Care has been delivered with great compassion and respect for my parents' dignity but most importantly the visits of the Care Pros have brought fun and interest into their lives.

More recently my parents needed Live In Care and the Live In Care Pros' professional yet homely input has given me a reassuring peace of mind.

Mum has been having the services of Home Instead in a morning for a couple of months now. She lives alone and has dementia. It has been a big help and has given me peace of mind that mum is being looked after and has some company while I'm at work. The ladies do a great job, and the reports say that mum is always happy, which is lovely to hear. The care coordinator is always at the end of the phone if I have any queries. Very happy with everything. Thank you

Nick Hodgson

I had the pleasure of joining Home Instead Northwich & Knutsford in January 2021. I made the decision to join Home Instead after seeing first-hand through a close family member the difference they make in supporting people to remain safe and well in their own homes.

My career prior to joining was in the furniture retail industry where I held positions in area management and head of retail roles. I love working with people, so the combination of providing an excellent quality of care for the local community and being able to employ a fantastic team of local Care Professionals was the perfect match for me.

I live locally with my wife and three daughters. In my spare time I enjoy walking in the countryside and following motorcycle racing.

Through leading the team at Home Instead, I am determined to continue providing the best possible, personalised care to help people remain independent in their own homes across Northwich, Knutsford and surrounding areas.
