We were so delighted with the excellent care our mother received. It was great to be able to keep my mother in her own home. The carers showed real kindness and continuity of care was so important to us.

A crucial benefit of the service is its ability to respond to changing requirements in the nature and length of care required. All the people involved in arranging and delivering the service have been caring, courteous and keen to find ways to improve the provision.

Overall Experience
Home Instead have aided me with my independence despite my disability. The service is fantastic, very reliable and the best care company I have used within Trafford.
My care plan was very clearly set out, regarding my epilepsy and my carer adds to my quality of life, as she is so well matched to my needs.
My weekly shopping trips are now fun and I couldn't ask for anything more from the company. Friendly staff, a very individually focused service and reliability.

The clocking in and out system on the home phone has made me feel safe from the start. Thank you Home Instead for helping me maintain my dignity and live a 'normal' life.

Overall Experience

We enlisted the care from Home Instead Senior care in June 2016 following a diabolical run care organisation care for our 90 year old father. From the first day, we have found the company to be approachable, professional and caring. Dad has received excellent care and has formed strong bonds with his carers. Regular meetings with his team leader has helped resolve issues promptly. It is with great sadness with failing health and eyesight the family has made the decision to move dad to a care home where nurses can attend to his medical needs promptly.

Home Instead Senior Care provides an excellent service twice weekly including showering my dad and support my mum to enable them to live comfortably in their own home. The lady who comes to them is friendly, professional and to quote my mum "a ray of sunshine". As a family, we cannot thank them enough.

I am very satisfied with the care given.
Very occasionally there has been a muddle with the arrangements.
I need care 2-3 times a week, 1 for shopping, 2 for ironing, 3 for some more varied cooking.

The other carers are all kind, well-being and very helpful.

Review from Susan M (Daughter of Client) published on 3 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Home Instead have attended for three months. The girls that come have been lovely, warm and cheerful which as my father has dementia (vascular), it is just what he needs. He also goes out for walks with the carers which he loves. They are also very helpful in doing jobs around the house, dusting cleaning, changing my father's bed and cleaning the fridge, which as I work 30 hours a week, is so helpful.

Reply from Lucy Gill, Director at Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale)

Susan, Thank you for this review, I am so glad that your Dads care is working out well. Freeing up your time is something a lot of clients comment on and how that has given them extra time together.

Review from Sarah H (Daughter of Client) published on 23 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After a spell in the hospital where my mother was recovering from a hip replacement, it became apparent that she would need some care at home. I work, so I needed to find help from a professional support. I have found Home Instead to have the professionalism and caring attitude that I needed. The support that I needed with my mother and the emotional support they have given me, has been outstanding. As I am fully aware my mother's health will deteriorate, I have the knowledge I will be able to call on the teams help and support through the next few years and that gives me great peace of mind.

Review from Gwen H (Daughter of Client) published on 22 May 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have relied on Home Instead since August 2016 to help my mother live independently. We cannot praise the quality of the care and the underlying organisation highly enough. My mother had a stable and highly competent team of carers who treated her with unfailing kindness and compassion and were always mindful of maintaining her dignity and safety.
Without exception, the carers were committed to her welfare and on several occasions stayed with my mother beyond their call limit when they were concerned for her health until a family member could take over. When my mother developed an infection, it was the HI carer who spotted the change in her condition and her prompt intervention ensured that my mother received timely treatment in hospital. The carers kept meticulous records and communicated ongoing tasks and concerns very effectively.

The area team leader was fantastic; she reacted swiftly to ensure that Mum's increasing needs were met and monitored provision closely.

Gwen, Thank you for this review - Alan and I are very proud of our team, and never more so when they have made such a positive impact on a family. Thank you for spending the time to share your experiences.

Having used several different care agencies, I feel able to say that Home Instead Senior Care are by far the best and most reliable.
I have a lot of medical issues and consequently have a lot of hospital/doctor appointment. There are always in the morning so my husband can take me as I am wheelchair bound and my husband works in the afternoon/evening.

Home Instead Senior Care always arrives at the arranged time and my regular carers have become my friends.
