About Home Instead Senior Care (Barnet): Dale and Diana Bevington established Home Instead Senior Care in Barnet to help clients to lead fulfilling lives at home. Carers support people with a service based around matching caregivers to clients’ needs and preferences, and maintaining the same caregivers with clients for as long as they are needed.
The company believe that to serve clients and their families they must be responsive, reliable, and train staff properly to ensure they have the skills and confidence to provide the care anyone would want for their own parents. All of services are built around establishing a good relationship and to encourage and stimulate clients to retain their skills and independence.
Many clients are living with memory loss or dementia and all caregivers are required to successfully complete specific training in this area. The service includes companionship, home help, and personal care so carers can support people at home in a comprehensive manner that is personalised for individual requirements.
Feel free to contact for advice or to discuss options for care at home, the team would be delighted to help.

Review submitted from a Scanned Printed Card by Paul W (Son of Client) on Thursday 17 May 2018. Relates to March 2018.
I found Home Instead to be an excellent service overall. One Carer, in particular, was extremely warm, friendly and professional in her manner and built a close relationship with my father, so much so, she read a reading at his funeral. However, not all the Carers were as thorough and one let me down, which led to a safety issue. Overall, however, a very good service provided.

Most reliable and friendly agency. My regular carer is dependable, lives nearby and takes care of unforeseen needs. All attributes for peace of mind.

We have been using Home Instead Senior Care (Barnet) for the past 3 years they are a caring company, the carers who look after my mum are amazing they really care for her in a very special way. Mum smiles when they come to attend to her needs. I don't know how we would manage without them they are very special people and they care.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Nitzan M (Client) on Monday 18 April 2016. Relates to April 2016.
I contacted Home Instead Senior Care as I needed short term support after a right hand operation. Everyone I had any communication with was very professional and supportive and I felt completely safe in their hands. They were also very flexible as it was clear that I only needed short term support and that my needs will lessen during the period of care.
The manager came to do the assessment with me, to make sure all my needs were fulfilled and together we agreed that the carer would look after me for the 3 weeks following my operation. She was a delight to have around. Caring and with great sense of humour, we got on really well from the first day.
I would be more than happy to recommend Home Instead in general and my carer in particular to anyone needing care.

I requested support in getting in to and out of bath/shower. I had an excellent carer for five visits at the same time each day during that last fortnight in March. She also had time to sit and talk to me and on the last visit took me out for a walk. I have now regained my confidence and have started to drive. I am 82 and my husband died October 2015 after a long illness.

The staff at Home Instead are wonderful. They responded quickly to the change in my mother's needs and were very kind and reassuring to both of us. There was always a friendly voice on the telephone and the staff went out of their way to be helpful and supportive.
