  • Home Instead (Wimbledon & Kingston), New Malden
As the first home care provider in the country to be rated 'Outstanding' three times in a row by the CQC (most recently December 2020), the Home Instead (Wimbledon and Kingston) office is very proudly owned by Clare Jefferies who herself struggled for five years to find the right sort of care for both her parents who were terminally ill.

Being a daughter and dealing with this first hand, gave her a clear understanding of the need for quality, compassionate care, which is flexible and built around the needs and aspirations of the client.

Many clients choose Home Instead because of the companionship-based care it provides where much effort is given towards matching the right care giver with each client and ensuring consistent service of each care giver with each client. Through this attention to detail, its caregivers often establish strong bonds with clients and clients' families and become valued companions.

Its care and support ranges from companionship to home help services and personal care through to specialised dementia care. It is recognised for the quality of Alzheimer's and dementia care and even has a City and Guilds accredited training programme that provides staff with the tools to provide the best care possible.

It’s as much about the training as it is the people it employs at Home Instead – passionate and warm-hearted care givers who recognise that it’s the little things that make the difference.

Mum has been with Home Instead for 6 years, she has been extremely happy with all the caregivers over the years. She now has a young caregiver, who is very caring and nothing is too much trouble. We are really happy with her. Without Home Instead, I would not have the freedom through the day, which
is a respite for me.

Home Instead have cared for my mother for about five years. Her carers have been kind, caring, patient and respectful. The office staff have always kept us informed and completed regular reviews of her needs and their care giving. My mother now requires full time care in a care home and so sadly we
will have to part company. Personally, I will miss those that I have got to know and I know my mother will too. I whole heartedly recommend Home Instead to anyone requiring care at home.

It has always been the wish of our friend to be able to stay in her own home, even if she could not look after herself any more. Home Instead has made this possible during the past three years. Our friend is helped with getting up in the morning and going to bed at the end of the day. Her meals are
prepared and shopping, washing and medication are taken care of, while there is always time for a chat and a laugh. Several of the caregivers have remained the same from the start and have become like friends. Even during a recent stay in hospital caregivers made sure that our friend had all the care she needed, while she was there.
We cannot rate Home Instead (Wimbledon & Kingston) highly enough.

Our aunt is very happy with the standard of care provided by Home Instead. She reports that her carers are warm and friendly and take a genuine interest in her well-being. We do not live near to my aunt so we rely on the Home Instead carers to help her follow a specific diet related to her health issues.
They have also taken the initiative to involve her in various social activities which she has very much enjoyed. Home Instead are quick to inform us of any concerns with our aunts health and safety, We feel that she is in good hands.

Excellent personal care and related care. Over three years with Home Instead and my 100% level of satisfaction continues. Very hard worker and carer - doesn't stop working when she is with me. Copes very well - English is a second language but you wouldn't know it! She is always very full of life -
also with companionship skills as well. I can't fault her at all.

We have been clients on Home Instead 2013. The fact that we are still clients is a good indication or the satisfaction we have with the service provided. There have of course been 'drops' in service, but overall we could not manage without the help of Home Instead, and their carers and staff. We have
recommended it to several friends.

My father had the benefit of care providers from Home Instead for just under a year. The different care givers were all very kind to my father, respected his independence and individual needs, and gave him just the right amount of support and companionship that he needed. Many thanks.

My two principal caregivers during my six-week rehabilitation were exceptional in carrying out their care for me following my recent hospitalisation. They carried out their care with professionalism, kindness, consideration, constant encouragement and in many instances, humour. My experience with them
over this period was an excellent one, for which I am most grateful.

I cannot thank and praise the Care giver from Home Instead (Wimbledon & Kingston). She was outstanding.
Her ability to adapt and fit like one of the family. Her knowledge and skills were so helpful in a period where we as a family were struggling to cope.
She was kind helpful and efficient. My mum
really liked her.
She was there to provide support at difficult times
I would definitely recommened Home Instead again.

Home Instead is a truly wonderful care company. We have used their services for well over a year now and have found the entire team - from the office to dad's carer - to be utterly supportive, helpful and caring in their support of my dad. They have gone out of their way to do everything to make my
dad comfortable and have been a blessing during some very difficult times.

Exceptional care from an excellent team
My Mother-in-law recently benefited from the support of Home Instead following a fracture
Client liaison were wonderful - they visited her during a temporary care home admission and helped to facilitate discharge to her own home - they were very professional
but also had a wonderful manner with Mother-in-law and gave us all confidence that she would be in good hands - this was well-founded!
She required overnight care plus twice-daily visits for help with personal care
The team worked extremely hard to support her at short notice and to provide the same Caregivers on a regular basis - this continuity of care was excellent and very important for my Mother-in-law.
The Caregivers were introduced to M by the Client Liaison Team prior to their first visit - all were warm, kind, professional and good communicators - administrative support and communication have also been excellent
The team are compassionate, experienced and professional - I can't recommend them more highly.

Following a couple of falls, and a brief stay in hospital, it became clear that my mother was going to need extra assistance with her day-to-day care. On contacting Home Instead, I was immediately impressed by their professional attitude. At no time did they pretend to be able to supply anything that
wasn't achievable. They introduced the carer to myself and my mother before we had to make any commitment. They guaranteed the same carer at the same time, and always kept us fully informed. They have been highly supportive over the phone, whenever an emergency has arisen. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone in a similar situation.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

A marvellous care service we have been using twice a day for over a year now for my elderly mother who currently lives alone with moderate Alzheimer's. There is an excellent core of regular carers who have all formed very positive relationships with my mother and occasional others who pick up the baton
admirably when the usual carers are unable to visit. My mother is in denial about her condition and is inclined to politely refuse help with most tasks, but the carers devise clever ways to coax and persuade without distressing. They will assist with showering, cleaning, shopping, providing meals, ensuring medication is taken, going for walks and general companionship. I couldn't recommend them more.

Over the period that Home Instead provided care for our mother, we found them extremely helpful and flexible in the support provided. They went to considerable trouble to identify and provide caregivers who were a good match for the needs of our mother. We found all members of the team helpful and always
willing to give advice and assistance.

We were recommended Home Instead by a colleague in the care industry who had experience of them in a different county. I contacted Home Instead (Wimbledon & Kingston) to discuss options and from the moment they made contact I found them helpful, sympathetic and flexible. From the office staff to the
carers themselves, they did all they could to support our mum from initial companionship visits during lockdown to more personal care visits until such a time as Mum decided to move into a care home. Mum has come away with friends from the experience and we are so grateful for that.

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
