Overall Experience

Home Instead are so helpful and kind, I need help with things around the house and putting washing on the line. I look forward to them coming. I have recommended their care to others, but some cannot afford it. They are lucky to have family around to help. My daughter is good, she is not always available.

Overall Experience

I live a long way away from my father who is 91 years old and I wanted to arrange some backup care as I am not able to visit more than once a week. Home Instead provides a very reliable service and even though he currently only has one two hour visit a week it does give me peace of mind that he is being checked on during the week.

My father says the caregiver is very friendly and happy to do any little odd jobs for him like going to the local shop to pick up a few things. Very happy with the service and would recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for care in their own home.

Home Instead Swansea have proved to be a reliable care provider for my mother. The most important thing is that we've been able to find carers that suit my mum and those carers have stayed with her over time. This is the most important thing from all points of view. The carers have been attentive and kind and we've never had any issues with the standard of service.

My dad has two hours a week company and support from a carer from Home Instead. According to my mother, he is most accepting of her and looks forward to time in her company. I met her only briefly, but she seems charming and compassionate as well as patient. The two hours gives my mother a little reprieve from the stress of 24/7 care of a husband with dementia. Thank you, Home Instead.

My mum requires care due to early-onset dementia. My mum feels happy and secure with her carer, looking forward to her visits. I don't have to worry when her carer is there. I work full time and live over an hour away. Her carer is amazing, reassuring her anxieties and nothing is too much trouble.

They both look forward to the staff member's visits and she has always been very helpful and professional. I would recommend Home Instead to anyone who needs help in the home with elderly parents.

Overall Experience
Home Instead have been providing care for my mum on 3 days a week since 2018. We had heard of the good reputation of the work that they do, because a friend of mine's father had been helped by them for many years until he went into a care home. Home Instead came into our lives just after my mum had been very ill with Shingles.
I live on the other side of the country, and as mum started to recover, I felt very uncomfortable about leaving her to go back to work. It quickly became apparent that Home Instead were extremely good at what they do.

My mum is a very sociable person, and all the carers who come from Home Instead are lovely with her and really satisfy her need for company, as well as helping her in practical ways too. This has been particularly important during the pandemic, when visitors to the house have not been allowed. Mum feels that she would never have got by had Home Instead not been there for her. As a family, we are delighted with the work they do.

Overall Experience

Home Instead have been caring for my parents for approximately 5-years; firstly for my mum, who had vascular dementia and who sadly died 2 years ago, and now for my dad, who has mobility problems. Both the carers and the office staff have always been professional, patient and very caring in their relationship with my parents, me and my brother. We live quite a distance away from my dad, and access to the online portal is a vital link for us as Dad doesn’t always tell us about any problems or what sort of a day he has had. The office staff always ring us if they have any concerns about Dad, and we feel confident that Dad is getting the best care possible. We would definitely recommend Home Instead!

At 96 my father needed that extra care whilst keeping his dignity. I live four hours away so difficult to pop in daily. So Home Instead ticked all boxes and have adapted to changing circumstance quickly for my dad. Nothing is too much trouble from personal care, making lunches to taking my dad for his Covid jab. I have found office staff and care staff extremely professional, friendly and dedicated. It means my dad can live in his home surrounded by his memories and I know Home Instead will be there if I need them.

Review from Katherine Ll (Daughter of Client) published on 20 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Home Instead has provided outstanding care for my father. The whole process of getting the care plan set up was responsive, thorough and completely professional. The selection of his carers is the really big plus of this company. They have taken such trouble to match my dad to his care team in terms of interests and skills. We interviewed a number of other providers and this feature stood out from the start. Dad is still extremely independent but has come to really, really enjoy his weekday visits. As I live three hours away, knowing he is in safe hands, with such a lovely and professional team looking out for him, is wonderful. I would strongly recommend Home Instead. They are totally reliable and excellent in every way.

I am very pleased with all the staff at Home Instead (Swansea). The carer who started coming to me in April 2020 is very pleasant, caring and carries out several jobs in my home. She is a great deal of help to me. With this Covid-19 pandemic, she has become a lovely friend. We are looking forward to when we can venture out in the car again to some nice places.

Review from M G (Daughter of Client) published on 14 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had an urgent need to provide our Dad with more support but in such a way as to maintain his independence. Home Instead (Swansea) made a great match with a carer to visit him and she has helped with everything from settling into his new home, to sorting out his wifi and television issues. She has unobtrusively checked he is eating properly, supported him with cleaning, laundry and is now a trusted friend, meaning that when he needs additional support it will be readily available. I would like to thank the Home Instead (Swansea) office team and his particular carer for all they have done and are doing. I have no hesitation in recommending to others.

Overall Experience
First-class service at all times! Going from two visits a week to help my parents with household tasks, to an urgent need to increase visits to help with all care following a sudden deterioration in their health, Home Instead Swansea have provided quick and efficient support.
The carers have been amazing throughout, especially following Mum's discharge from hospital with a positive Covid result and further self-isolation because of potential contact, they have continued to attend and care for my parents without issue.

It is a very difficult change for independent people to accept that they need help and all the carers who have attended my parents have been sensitive to this and have been instrumental in a smoother transition for them. Everyone that I have spoken to has been extremely helpful and supportive, the care is second to none. I would recommend Home Instead Swansea to anyone who is looking for additional help for themselves or family members to remain in their own home.

Residing in Bridgend with his wife and children, Ben is dedicated to forging community connections and identifying individuals in need of our support. His academic background in Accounting at Lancashire University laid the groundwork for a multifaceted career, including financial consultancy and property investment.

Ben's motivation to begin operating in the care sector began following a poignant personal experience — witnessing the inadequate care available to his 98-year-old grandfather living with dementia, an area of expertise for Home Instead. Ben was most displeased by the task-oriented approach to care, as he strongly believed in the need to recognise clients as individuals and provide high-quality, compassionate care.

Motivated by a desire to redefine care standards, Ben established a Swansea branch of Home Instead. Here, the emphasis lies in person-centred care meticulously crafted to meet each client's unique needs and desires.

Recognising Home Instead's unparalleled commitment to compassion and individualised care, Ben was drawn to its distinctive approach, where service quality takes precedence above all else.
