Review from C G (Daughter of Client) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Home Instead has recently provided a fantastic service to my mother, who needed home care because of deteriorating Alzheimer's. From the moment of contact, they were efficient and caring, assessing needs and quickly organising home visits whilst staying in good contact via the app and phone calls. Mum's carers were kind and helpful, whilst being a much-needed company. The whole team were also very understanding and knowledgeable in dealing with dementia as well as being compassionate to quickly changing health. A huge thank you to you all for your support over a very difficult six months.

Reply from Carmen Woodman, Field Care Manager at Home Instead (Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole)

From the day we met her, it was our pleasure to support her with her unique needs. The care pros were able to take on the challenge and were very tentative to every need and did it expertly, showing their knowledge in supporting someone with Dementia. The family had her best interest at heart and...

My wife was treated with dignity and patience at all times by your carers who became almost family members.
The carers at all times dealt with their tasks with great professional care and good humour.

My family and I were very grateful for the continual interest your carers showed in looking after her.

Overall Experience

Home Instead (Bournemouth) were wonderful with my mum. They were so genuine in their care and concern and made my mums last weeks more comfortable for her. The staff that came couldn't do enough to help and proved to be a great support for my dad and me too. Totally professional, kind and helpful. They were a godsend, I never expected such a high standard of care and always with a sincere wish to go all the possibly could. They went above and beyond.

Overall Experience

The most professional, organised and caring agency that has been to my mother. An excellent manager of a well trained and experienced team, who ensured all care needs were met. Excellent pre-assessment was undertaken followed by good care planning and record keeping. The family is always involved and kept updated of any change.

My carer was ordered for self-care due to Covid-19 and within one day they had replaced her.

Overall Experience

Mum has received great care from her team of carers at Home Instead. They arrive promptly at the start of the arranged times and care for Mum with kindness, diligence and one-to-one personal care. She continues to benefit from their care and it makes a real difference to her day, she knows all her carers by name and looks forward to their arrival at the beginning and end of the day. Although their prices are nothing different from others, their cares are on a different league and are to be wholly recommended.

Reply from Gourav Kumar, Owner at Home Instead (Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole)

Many thanks for the lovely feedback, much appreciated. We are proud of our caregiver teams who tirelessly look after and care for our clients as if they were their own family members.

Overall Experience
Although designated a 'carer' I regard my carer as a very good friend - always helpful and a pleasure having him looking after me. If all your staff are as committed to give such a friendship then there are many people grateful for your service.

He always suggests little things which make a difference (for the better) for my day to day living.
