Home Instead (Newcastle under Lyme and Stoke on Trent)

Everything is wonderful. Thanks very much.

Mum was in very poor health and facing widowhood when Home Instead stepped in; they have transformed her flat from dirty to insanitary, to a beautiful, fresh, clean home, and Mum herself is a different person, healthy and cared for. She loves her carers, she refers to them as more like family than carers, some she has developed a very close relationship with. I can tell it's genuine on the team's side too. The office team have also been incredibly supportive to me too, and both Mum and I are so thankful to all of them. The care isn't just about keeping her person and surroundings clean, liaising with her GP and administering medication, and cooking her meals, but also getting her to take an interest in life again and being mindful of her mental well-being. Everything the Home Instead team does is to the highest standard; they're very approachable and always wanting to help with whatever situation crops up. We absolutely could not manage without them, and thanks to Home Instead, I've now got the time to attend to mum's admin stuff without the time taken up by daily care. Can't recommend Home Instead highly enough.

The family needed urgent help to care for our almost blind 91 year old father after his wife/ carer was suddenly admitted to hospital and then into a care home environment. Home Instead had a care team in place within 7 days, and they provided much needed companionship, prepared and cooked meals and kept the home clean and tidy.

I used to think that work in care meant making cups of tea and having a chat. I now know it involves so so much more. Thanks team!

She uses her initiative and has helped me and mum so much. I work shifts, and I feel confident when I know she's there.

The carer has been my help for some time now. She has always done excellent work for me! She will be very sadly missed I am very sad she is going. She is also very efficient. Please do not let her go.

There has been an improvement in the services, in that I have my won group of carers that visit me. When I first used the service in 2017 I never knew who would be coming, so a good part of my hour was spend explaining where everything was and what I needed. I now find the services excellent. The carers are pleasant and do what I ask of them, they perform their duties to my satisfaction and in a pleasant manner.

Very good.

We received a excellent service from start to finish from all of the staff. A great company that helped us when we required emergency support at short notice. They went above and beyond and I am extremely grateful for this.

I would have no hesitation in using the service again.

Home Instead has taken a flexible and professional approach in assessing the needs of my mum. They took time to assign carers, who are caring with nothing being too much trouble. The company are understandable, flexible and always available to listen to any concerns I have.

The care my dad has received from Home Instead has been fantastic! They have been amazing! My dad loved all his carers they took time to get to know him, he always had a laugh with them and looked forward to seeing them. He saw them as friends. Our family will always be grateful for the care and kindness that has been given to our Dad. We are devastated we can no longer afford this care! We would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead in the future. Thank you.

Our care provider was engaged to provide companionship to my husband. The young man was always on time, was always calm and softly spoken. This enabled my husband to be also calm and not his usual agitated. due to financial restraints, we were not able to continue for longer. Our best wishes go to this young man. thanks to everyone.

I have been very happy with the care given to my mother. If any changes were needed to be made they were done quite softly, care was also given to myself in the form of moral support. The staff were all lovely.

The family have always been very pleased with the care supplied by Home Instead. The carers are always punctual and always pleasant and also very caring, helpful and respectful. My mum always looks forward to their visits. The carers are always willing to help in any way that they can. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone in need of care and assistance.

I support an elderly lady who lives in Keele. She has a variety of issues and relationships have broken down with a number of other agencies. Home Instead have "hung on in". Your company is well organised, communication with me has been excellent and your staff are caring, professional and go the extra mile. Without you she would not be able to stay in the home she loves.

The team at Home Instead (Newcastle under Lyme and Stoke on Trent) came to our rescue at such a time. Despite the additional problems of Covid 19 and its restrictions - the care team worked with determination and support with our family to meet Mums needs. Communication was paramount between us and we will be ever grateful for their love and support to us all.

The care team of Home Instead is excellent. All who have been in our home have been kind, caring and professional. We have peace of mind knowing that he is being well looked after by your team.

A massive thank you to the team for just being there and helping make peoples lives so much better you are our angels.

Home Instead supported my mother during the last 15 months of her life, allowing her to be as independent as possible. They consistently went the extra mile to help and look after her, and always asked if it was okay to bill for the extra time that they'd volunteered to do.
