Review from Harold M (Son of Client) published on 18 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The care professionals visiting and taking care of my mother live up to their title of being professional: always on time; attentive to details; motivated to find solutions to everyday problems; friendly and polite; and giving clear feedback via the online tool. The latter is a great help for me since I do not live close by and in this manner I am regularly updated on my mother's condition and situation. I appreciate very much the motivation and understanding of the carers as well as their personal and caring approach. Bravo!

Overall Experience

My daughter is very happy with all her carers and looks forward to them coming, they are all friendly and supportive, you can hear her chatting and laughing all through her time with them. The service they give is so helpful to us as well as her as we are probably older ourselves than some of your clients (haha) a wonderful service.

Overall my father is happy with the care provided, he says the staff are reliable, friendly and helpful. One criticism from him would be that staff do not always support him fully to get in and out of the car when taking him shopping.

Overall Experience
Home Instead (Clacton, Frinton & Walton) Have been coming to my father now for over six months and the service has been generally excellent. They are happy to undertake tasks as we require them and help Dad with his personal hygiene and daily exercise.

The two hours they visit each day normally come with a smile and professional approach. Each carer has her own way of dealing with Dad, sometimes it can be a bit confusing for him but overall the service is excellent and I would recommend the service wholeheartedly.

Overall Experience

A small team of carers enable Dad to retain a degree of independence and maintain a daily routine. Unprompted they complete household tasks to keep his home safe and clean. All staff are friendly and helpful. The online updates after each visit allow us to check he is safe and well throughout the day and has gone to bed each night.

Review from J A (Daughter of Client) published on 1 September 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our mother loves the friendliness, punctuality and discreet professionalism of her carers and the companionship they also provide as much as the personal care. She looks forward to that bright spot in her day. The family, who are long-distance carers, appreciate the excellent communication and swift response to any concerns - always ready to offer whatever extra help is needed. Service reviews are regular and new tasks are added as required.

Overall Experience

I was very fragile when I left hospital and came home. Your assistants were all very friendly and courteous. Initially, carrying out all the personal work professionally and as my energy slowly improved, with understanding, (and dare I say, with a sense of gentle humour!). Each assistant was different but all had a friendly, gentle dedication - I miss them all.

Overall Experience

Very good overall. Perfect for what I require but the price is a bit on the high side (hence why I ticked don't know) for my requirements as it's purely a companionship call as I have a 24-hour carer and the visit is just to give her a break.
