Review from Ronald H (Client / Service User) published on 16 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have had 3 different carers in 6 months. One carer was not communicative and she stopped. My two remaining carers have mainly provided me with company which was my main requirement. They have been good company, encouraging and adaptable to any requirements. This includes washing up, making tea and coffee and occasionally doing household chores.

Overall Experience

I have nothing but praise for Home Instead they have delivered a first-class service and taken the strain from the family knowing that they deliver exceptional quality care and keep them fully informed of the care provided. This has enabled me to stay at home, which is what I wanted, and they provide daily online updates. The carers are all so kind and understanding. I can not praise them enough. The support they deliver is 5-star, couldn't ask for anything more and they have treated me with dignity and understanding.

We are so pleased that we chose Home Instead for our mother who has Alzheimer's. All her care staff are professional, kind, understanding of her condition and extremely caring. We have been particularly impressed by the quality and consistency of care that they have provided during the Covid 19 pandemic. The care staff and management team have been so helpful and quick to support us in meeting our mother's increasing care needs. Thank you so much you do a truly amazing job and the App is excellent.

We could not carry on living in our home abode if it were not for the valuable assistance rendered by our Home Instead carers. They are always on time and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are always well turned out, polite and have a good sense of humour.

Excellent service. Good timekeeping. Note I feel I am being overcharged due to carers taking far too long holidays (4/6weeks) only working (part-time).

Overall Experience
We have been using Home Instead Senior Care for two years three months. My parents both in mid 90's, depend on them. The Home Instead Senior Care is outstanding. We are able to remotely access the visit reports to understand how my parents are each visit. As we live over 140 miles away this is a godsend to us.

The caregivers and staff manage all the necessary daily needs for their health and wellbeing. We highly recommend Home Instead Senior Care.

The care staff visiting my mum have been vital to the consistency of her support during the difficulties that the year 2020 have brought for my mum. The ladies have been very adaptable to Mum's changing needs. Mum can rely on staff being on time, helpful and pleasant. I am also pleased they are happy in conjunctions with other agencies. Many thanks.

Home Instead always understood the needs of my father; ensuring that his "team" isn't changed too often. They know how he is, and as he can't speak, they still manage to communicate with him at a high level.

Review from Rebecca C (Daughter of Client) published on 13 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I started using Home Instead eight months ago and since then they have provided excellent support and care for my mother and father and peace of mind for myself (or as much as possible).
I live 4000 miles away from my parents so I am very dependent on Home Instead and they have not failed me!
I wish to thank all the staff for their kindness and dedication to my parents - they are always so polite and happy to do whatever jobs need doing and have exceeded my expectations.
The company has provided a small consistent team of very caring and kind individuals who have a wealth of experience and have been wonderful in providing ideas and strategies to better care for my parents.

I am very glad I chose Home Instead and I would like to extend my gratitude to all of them as we continue this journey.
