Overall a good service provided. Carer always arrived on time. Standard of care provided variable dependant upon carer. Some lacking in initiative or lacking in insight in relation to needs/mental condition of the client. Apparent reluctance to provide a shower at times or to provide more varied catering.
Daily records not always appropriate.

Reply from Helen Thomas, Business Development Manager at Home Instead (Warrington)

In response to this review, we have made contact with the reviewer to discuss the results and found that overall they found the standard of care and support including the dignity and respect shown towards the client and the management of the service good however they rated the value for money by comparing to the cost of a care home setting which is a completely different situation than being supported in your home. The client was happy with the service received has since recommended Home Instead to others.

We have been using Home Instead for a few years now, and my mum loved all of her carers who often went above and beyond what was expected. Unfortunately, my mum has not got dementia, and although Home Instead has helped keep her in her own home for a few years, she now needs full-time care and has moved
to residential. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Home Instead is an amazing company to deal with and the quality of the caregivers is second to none. My Grandfather was reluctant to have help he made the most amazing friends with the caregivers. They are professional, helpful and friendly and I will never be able to thank them enough for their support.
Help
was only ever a call away.
I will always recommend this company, and if it wasn't for my grandad now needing 24/7 care he would still be on their client list.
We will miss you all, you are doing an amazing job.
Providing high-quality care for the most important people in society, the government forget.
Keep up the good work you are so highly appreciated.

My mother has a support package from Home Instead for 18 months. The staff were all a credit to their employer and provided a first-class care and support package to my mother. The regular feedback and liaison from the whole team provided me and the family the reassurance we needed. This allowed Mum
to live independently for as long as possible. She was treated with dignity and all the carers have become personal friends of mother and the family.

Home Instead provided excellent care to my father. The carers always went the extra mile to ensure Dad was happy and settled. The service provided was always focussed on Dad's needs, never a standard service, and the carers always contacted my sister and I if something was not quite right.

My mum required four carers to visit her four times a day - this ensured her to live at home, fully supported after my father passed away. She was so relieved and happy to be able to live at home, and my brother and I were delighted that she was happy, and the care provided by all of the carers was
outstanding. We got to know them all personally; they provided such thoughtful and excellent care for my mum, and we could not have wished for better. The manager and her team in the Warrington office were brilliant, and they were so kind to us when our mum passed away. Thank you very much indeed.

My mother received care at home provided by Home Instead, until she needed to move into residential care in April 2020. Home Instead tried hard to achieve consistency of staffing, so that she was not attended by people who didn't know her. They mostly managed to achieve that, which was very important
to us. The standard of care was good and the two carers who supported her regularly, were dependable and kind; enabling her to remain semi-independently in her own home for as long as possible. The office staff and management were approachable and helpful and communication was generally good.

Since our mother died three years and left a sizeable gap in the family, especially where Dad was concerned - mainly because he was unable to take care of himself. Getting Home Instead involved was a good thing we did because it filled a gap where myself and my brother's could fit in around. Without
Home Instead and our involvement, Dad could've been in a care home, instead of being at home. We've has a few blips in the last years, but it could have been worse.

My wife is eight years into Alzheimer's but is still relating well to me and the carers from Home Instead Senior Care (Warrington). They live up to their name of 'Home Instead' of a care home. My wife often asks me "Are you going to put me in a care home?" I assure her that we are staying in our home.
I have watched this homecare agency grow over several years and am impressed by it. They recently rightly won an award as one of the best local agencies of the National Home Instead organisation. They adapt well to the specific needs of each client and family carer.

Over a two year period, Home Instead provided high quality, consistent and reliable service.
On many occasions the carers went above and beyond, what they needed to do for Mum and for that, we thank them.
Home Instead provided an excellent service during a difficult time for the family.

We would unreservedly recommend the services provided by Home Instead. They have gone above and beyond to offer not only my parents, but ourselves help, advice and support.
Understandably my elderly parents were reluctant to accept help and were wary of having people other than family around their
house. However, from the word go their caregiver made them feel at ease, and now they really enjoy her company while she is busy doing chores around the house on their behalf.
Recently when an emergency arose their caregiver and the whole HI team did all that they could to offer help and support. We could not have asked for more and are very appreciative and grateful to them.

My elderly mother recently died aged 96 having suffered from Alzheimers and Parkinsons for the last few years. For a start, my mother hated having people in her home, but because Home Instead provided continuity of staff (as far as possible) the carers were able to build a good rapport until in the
end, they were more like friends, and she was glad of their company. Lastly, as my mother deteriorated, they managed to arrange extra visits at short notice and any issues were flagged and dealt with. Home Instead carers and management enabled her to stay at home, until the end and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

Overall service was good, with information and set up of service. Flexibility for service times was good. Certain carers in attendance were really good and gave my Mum support and help, doing their best. For improvement, communication to and from your centre could be a hit and miss e.g. Not informing
change of carers. We did ask for certain criteria, however, emergency facilitates the need (carers going sick). Would recommend the service onwards, but would speak of lessons learned.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.756 for Home Instead (Warrington) is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 90 Ratings = 4.756

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Warrington) is based on 15 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
