Looking after my 88-year-old mother with dementia has been the most challenging and difficult roles of my life and I simply couldn't have got through it without the help of the wonderful carers and admin staff from Home Instead who always did their utmost to provide the care we need as it's changed
over time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has had Parkinson's disease since 2008 and now needs someone with him except for short periods.
We have a carer one afternoon a week for 2 or 3 hours.
Our carer is male and undertakes activities with my husband - painting, walking, exercises etc.
We have been very happy with his caring
attitude.
Home Instead has been very efficient - noting all needs - medication, where to find essential services in the house etc.
All in all, it gives me peace of mind when I pursue my own activities.

The young women carers are excellent - friendly, helpful, thoughtful and I enjoy their company. Office organisation a bit erratic eg. Schedules often late and times sometimes inconvenient. Carers often struggle to meet appointments with traffic holdups. Not enough leeway for roadworks etc.

Their staff were confident in their role and caring whilst helping my husband who was terminally ill. They were able to supply services at short notice when another care service was not available. Apart from comments on zero hour contracts, the staff spoke well of their management team.

3/4 months into using this care provider started with one exclusive carer which worked very well, but require more service so introduced a second carer and this was equally successful.

The carer arrived on time, looking smart and professional. He was friendly and asked after the client's health and my own. My husband was helped out of bed and was able to walk to the shower room. After showering and hair wash the carers attended to the leg bag changing wet straps for dry and dressing
him. This was followed by a wet shave. He was then escorted into the kitchen for breakfast. The carers then returned to bedroom and shower room and left it tidy. He hoovered round for me and asked if there was rubbish to take out. He left on time.

Review from Kristin S (Daughter of Client) published on 12 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, who has vascular dementia, needed to move into a care home as she required full-time assistance. This was more than two years ago. We were sad that the home could not provide staffing for her to go on outings or to church, so we approached Home Instead High Peak. We gave them a detailed
description of my mother, her history and her needs, and they quickly found us a carer, who has since taken my mother to church on most Sundays and, when their relationship proved extremely positive, began also to visit her on Thursdays, sometimes taking her to lunch with her church group.
The carer has built relationships with us as a family, as well as the care home staff and members at church. My mother has benefitted enormously from the consistency, positivity, and empathy of this carer. We are extremely grateful to Home Instead and in particular to my mother's carer, for the huge difference this arrangement has made to my mother's well-being and thus to our peace of mind.

Thanks for all the excellent care you've arranged for mum - her routine shopping service, sitting with her or accompanying her or my dad to hospital, and helping us out in emergency situations. With no family members living near, it's been a great relief to know we can call on your many services to
help. Thank you.

Review from John B (Son of Client) published on 20 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mother died in November 2015 just three months short of her 98th birthday, she popped her clogs in the local hospital after a brief illness, she was pretty compos mentis till the end. Fifteen years ago she asked my opinion on the idea of installing a stair lift, I said I thought it a very good idea
as stairs eventually tend to "get" little old ladies and put them in hospital.


At around ninety we realised she was starting to need some help, she was still though, fiercely independent and expressed the wish that when the time came she wanted to leave her home feet first. My wife knew about Home Instead so we contacted them and put on a couple of visits a day, which over the years increased.
My Mother really liked her visits, she was well cared for, she was a great story teller and loved playing to the back gallery audience that the carers provided.
When we used to ask her how life was going on with her carers I seem to remember her say that "she could not have been more happier".


I believe that Home Instead extended Mum's final years significantly and were stimulating for her. It is a pity though, that we didn't get her to write this review before she passed away as she would most certainly have had a very positive opinion on her care and certainly an anecdote or two. My Mother had a good "innings" and was happy to the end and I cannot recommend Home Instead too much.

Often, when I visit someone or their family to perform a Care Assessment, I am told that they have found themselves “…lying awake at night worrying about who will care for them or their loved one.” At Home Instead High Peak we want to eliminate those niggling late night worries. When I meet you to structure your Care Plan, I listen carefully to what you need, what you want, what you worry about, and how you identify your desire to remain in your own home. My job, my goal, and my challenge, is to make certain that all the uncertainties are cleared up so you can make the right informed choices. It’s important that you never lose sleep over worries about how you are going to live and enjoy day to day routines and pleasures.
