Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with the level of care my mum receives from Home Instead (Altrincham and Sale). The carers are really supportive of her and highly committed. The support from the office staff is also extremely good. My mum is treated with dignity and respect, and she has been able to remain living
independently for longer than we would have thought possible thanks to the care and dedication of Home Instead. Mum thrives in company and having the calls last an hour means that they are not rushed, and have got to know her really well. She enjoys the company of the carers very much, and it is peace of mind for her family to know that she is well looked after while we are working.
Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)Thank you so much for sharing this review. I know that your team loves the time spent with Mum, whether it's music, shopping, popping down to the coffee morning, or going for a walk when the sun shines! They enjoy each other's company, and I guess that's why you see Mum thriving. Lucy

We engaged Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale) in July this year to provide care for Mum.
From the outset, we have been impressed with all aspects of their approach. Our initial meeting demonstrated the care and attention to Mum's needs and preferences, the coordinator that we dealt with ensured that
they knew as much about Mum as possible.
Mum has had a core team of carers who she got to know and trust and this consistency has been really important. Without exception, the carers have been professional, respectful, and caring, being good company for Mum as well as providing care.
Communication with us has been exceptional, with telephone calls if they have any concerns, regular updates, and scheduled reviews.
Home Instead never let us down; we have absolute trust that they will arrive when they are scheduled and that they will do the best for Mum.
Mum is now moving into residential care but Home Instead enabled her to have a few more precious months at home.
Highly recommended
Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It really is so vital that families can have confidence in a team, I know that the client and the care professionals worked hard on providing that personalised care support and that does make all the difference. We all wish her well in her new home and I will be sure to pass on your comments to her care professionals.

Outstanding service from committed carers. Add to this the professional and caring individuals behind the scenes; managers and admin - I would highly recommend Home Instead.
The whole team at the Altrincham and Sale office have given our family peace of mind around Mum’s increasing needs and Mum
looks forward to their visits. The carers are wonderful, warm individuals who treat Mum with great care, dignity, and respect. Thank you Home Instead!
Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)This is so lovely to hear: the team are all great care professionals and will be so pleased to hear the morning calls are going well. Although I'm always singing the team's praises, it's far more special when a compliment comes in from the family.

Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale) has been supporting my mum at home for almost 2 years now after a period of illness and frailty caused by Covid lockdown. They have made such a difference to my mum and she looks forward to seeing her caregivers every day. The care that the caregivers provide is exceptional.
Nothing is too much trouble and they will support with everything. Cooked meals, personal care, chatting to mum for company. The office team is really responsive and always keeps us up to date with anything that's happened. They go the extra mile contacting the chemist, dentist, family members, on behalf of Mum when she needs it and that is a massive help whilst I am working and would struggle to keep up with the admin of her care and meds. Because they visit her for an hour at a time she has really bonded with the ladies that support her and sees them as her friends, not carers. Could not recommend more highly.
Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)Thank you so much for taking the time to review our team. It's great to get this feedback and to hear that all the little extras we are able to offer really do make a positive impact on your life too. Great attention to spotting the little things that make a big difference is what our team do best. I will pass on your comments to the team.

I think the service is excellent! I have never been let down, the carers always come on time with a cheery hello and a cat. They all do what they have been asked to do and complete their time with me happily with good humour and respect. I'm very happy with the service and reliability that Home Instead
gives me, giving me the care I need to stay in my home.
Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)Thank you for taking time out and reviewing our team, so please to hear that all is going well - I'm not sure that the technology has quite got your quote correct (cheery hello and cat!) but this could be interesting addition to our home care support!

I have had three excellent carers over the last ten years. The organisation has been first-rate - cover is always offered; I have every expectation that if I needed more or different care, it would be forthcoming.
Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)So wonderful to hear that our home care has stood the test of time! I know it is a great relief to individuals and family members that we can flex to a persons care needs from a couple of hours a week right through to live in care.

We're very happy with the care we receive from Home Instead. The carers are all friendly and treat Dad with dignity and respect. I'm thankful that the service has relieved me of some of the burden of care and allowed me to pursue many of my regular evening activities safe in the knowledge that Dad's
being well looked after.
Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)So glad to hear that we have supported Dad well. We always speak about how our care can benefit family members. Allowing you time to continue with hobbies, helps with your own wellbeing, and often means the time you spend with Dad still remains a 'father and son' time rather than a 'father and carer' time, where it is easy for people's wellbeing to be affected. Thanks for highlighting this.

Home Instead carers are extremely professional, very friendly and always helpful.
They are not only concerned with the care of the client but also of any other family members that may be around. Offering to make them a cup of tea. If there have been any queries for extra hours then they have made every

All through the pandemic, their care was exceptional and very safe.

  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
