I engaged the services of Home Instead Senior Care (Bolton) to assist and support my elderly father. From the beginning the caregivers were delightful, caring and thoughtful. Seeing the same caregivers each day/week meant a relationship was built quickly between them and Dad. All the caregivers are
reliable, industrious and efficient; they don't need prompting and just do whatever they notice is required. It is so reassuring for our family to know Dad is being so well looked after when we can't be there.

Reply from Steve Williams, Management Team at Home Instead (Bolton)

Thank you for your review of our services and kind words about our caregivers. We know that establishing a relationship of trust is so important and consistency is very important to us. We are very happy that, as a family member, we have been able to provide reassurance for your family when you can't be there.

The care that my Mum has received from the lovely Caregivers from Home Instead is exceptional. They are friendly, approachable, competent and nothing is too much trouble. As a relative who lives far away, I have confidence that my Mum is well cared for. The office staff too, are second to none. They
listen and offer help whenever they can.

Reply from Angela Owen, Registered Manager at Home Instead (Bolton)

Thank you for your comments! Our Caregivers and office team work hand in hand to provide the best care possible. We are delighted that you feel the care your mum has received is exceptional.

Mum is 86 and struggling to cope independently at home. We have had several carers attending to my mum on a daily basis. They are always kind and willing to help in many little ways. The office have also been very attentive, easy to contact and accommodating, often arranging cover at difficult times.
It took the pressure off the family at a difficult time, thank you for your care and support

There are four people from Home Instead who come every dinner time to care for my dad. He gets on with each one and they each take time to spend with him and get to know him and what his likes and dislikes are. They care for him as if he was a member of their family and always contact me if they have
any concerns.

At a time in his life between needing increasing care and permanent care, Home Instead were a great choice. The carer was lovely and fulfilled her remit very well whilst also providing my uncle with happy chats which he looked forward to. Alas at 95 his care needs changed and he moved into a care home,
but the time he had with the Home Instead team was invaluable. Many thanks for everything.

At the start of my mothers care, I was very unsure about strangers coming into the house. However, they were the most trusting, caring and reliable people we could have only hoped for. I can' thank Home Instead enough.

Home Instead provided flexible care to my father as his needs increased. They were professional and very caring. My father responded well to his caregivers, and enjoyed their companionship, as well as benefiting from their care. Some of the carers formed a close and with my father, and were genuinely
fond of him. The care provided was, on the whole, excellent.

Appreciate that the carers are introduced to my father before they visit him, to prepare his evening meal. A small team of carers give a good service supported by the office staff. I feel comfortable with the service provided, I usually prepare notes for each visit for the carer, which seems to work
well.
Good support provided by the office and any issues raised are listened to and actioned promptly.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for Home Instead (Bolton) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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:

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

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Home Instead (Bolton) is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 54 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Bolton) is based on 9 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 = 4.9

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
