I have been extremely pleased with Home Instead and the care given. Always reliable and caring. They spend time carrying out a review of my mother and her changing condition. My mother is treated with respect and enjoys the company they provide daily.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.882 for Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale) is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 102 Ratings = 4.882

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Altrincham & Sale) is based on 17 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  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.

Alan and Lucy were both attracted to the ethos of Home Instead. We knew Home Instead was right for us after seeing how we could make a real difference, not only to an individual but importantly how we would be able to work alongside other charities and businesses to support our local senior community here in Trafford. We opened our doors back in 2010 and have been providing at-home care support ever since, touching the lives of over 1,000 clients and thousands more out in the community.


Alan’s role is to build relationships & look for opportunities for Home Instead to contribute to the local community whilst managing the business side of the company. “I am currently supporting the development of our community magazine, ‘Live Well, Your Way. With it, we can promote local activities, resources, and support groups around the community, enhancing the lives of our neighbourhoods.
