Compassion and sensitivity are two hallmarks of Home Instead which have taken my wife and I through a very challenging period of our lives - flexibility, unquestioning, reassuring and absolute reliability being among the others. Stemming from effective management and communication across the board,
ensuring there are no cross wires, engaging Home Instead during the course of our recovery from major surgery has been our good fortune. We have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead for all levels of personal care.

My mother continues to be extremely well cared for by the team that visit her. Each carer has developed a very good relationship with her and she regards each as a friend. All caring tasks are performed well and every carer treats my mother with respect and kindness. I have full confidence in both
the care team and the administrative team who keep me informed when the need arises. I think it is a testament to the success of the whole team effort that my mother is able to continue to live in her own home, as she wishes, even as she approaches her 100th birthday. My sincere thanks to you all from my mum and me.

We have been clients of HI Central Hampshire for about 5 years, first for my Dad and now Mum. We have progressed from shorter care sessions to now live in care. All of the carers have been wonderful,- such lovely, empathetic people who are highly professional, work hard and really care about their clients
and families. They take time to get to know their clients and tailor their support to enhance their quality of life, which can be challenging with dementia sufferers. The Care Professionals are supported by an excellent support and management team. The communication with the family is excellent and we appreciate the effort they put in to provide us with a consistent, high quality service, and the openness in flagging issues and finding solutions. Caring for Mum at home for as long as possible is a key priority for our family and HI's high quality service has made this possible. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others, and thank all the team for their wonderful care.

I cannot speak highly enough about all the carers that have supported and helped Mum. They have been professional, patient and so so kind to not just Mum but myself and Dad too. We are struggling with Mum at the moment and they take time for all of us often going over the hour that they are there for.
Despite Mum's stubborn refusal at times they win her round with their kind ways, ensuring Mum's dignity at all times.
They have even won my Dad round who was adamant that no carers would be allowed in!
Thank you.

From the beginning when my father was reluctant to accept any help, Home Instead have shown a high level of care and patience. The care givers provide a kindness, firmness and sense of humour that has won the hearts of my father, his late wife, my sisters and myself.
After the death of my stepmother,
my father needed more care and Home Instead provided this at short notice. The management have also been very good at communicating with the family and have really tried to accommodate the additional needs.
The care givers are punctual, sensible and very able at domestic duties. They also bring sensitivity, kindness and a lightness to a situation which to family members is more challenging.
Overall Home Instead have enriched the lives of my father and my late stepmother. They have enabled them to stay in their own home and most definitely have eased the burden of care on the wider family who don't live nearby.

The service and flexibility is excellent. They have a very good quality of carers, who are compassionate and always will to help. Some have a medical understanding and that has been really helpful. Many have become friends with my mum. It's not just caring support but also companionship. Whenever there
has been any last minute requests or changes, they have been very reactive and supportive.

Fabulous service from the Home Instead office team and all the Care Pros. No matter who you have contact with, the quality of service is fantastic, and they are joined up in their thinking and approach. I feel we are really working well in partnership together. My dad's new live-in carer has started
this month. Home Instead recruited this person from outside their network but she is absolutely of high standard I'd expect from Home Instead: warm, friendly, professional and above all laughs and keeps everything upbeat yet calm which is so important with Dad who has Alzheimer's. They are settling in well together.

Simply the best carers we could wish for to look after our parents. Home Instead looked after my dad before he passed away in December, it was a difficult time for us all but they dealt with the situation with so much care, dignity and empathy. Home Instead carers are now looking after my mum who has
mild dementia, the whole team are excellent. The initial visit and assessment from the manager was completed in a such a kind and considerate way. The office staff are always so helpful on the phone when we need to make changes or I need advice on what would be best for my parents. The carers that visit mum are excellent, so patient and kind. Always willing to take mum out for a coffee and cake, or change the beds, sit and do a crossword or make a meal plan/shopping list - whatever she wishes to do is no trouble for them. The care team have seamlessly fitted into our family and I know that mum loves having their daily visits.

Over the past several years, I have had the privilege of using Home Instead's services. Their commitment to excellence has consistently exceeded my expectations. They are not just a care provider; they have become an integral part of my sister's life, delivering compassionate, reliable, and professional
care that has greatly improved her quality of life.
From the beginning, their personalised approach stood out. The initial assessment was thorough, allowing them to develop a customised care plan tailored to our needs.
The caregivers are exceptional, compassionate, genuinely invested in my sister's well-being, and often become trusted companions.
Home Instead's reliability is impressive. We've never been left without care, and the management and support team is highly organised, with clear communication about any schedule changes.
In conclusion, Home Instead has provided exceptional service, profoundly impacting my sister's life. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My sister is utterly convinced that she is capable of independent living alone despite her having age-related dementia. In recent months we have had the assistance of Home Instead and this has very much enhanced the quality of her life and also of our confidence that things are going as well as can
be expected, as we live a several hours journey from her and so cannot respond immediately to any day to day issues that might and do arise.
We are now looking to increase the duration of the Home Instead care to cater for further deterioration in her condition. The quality of the care provided is outstanding and a major component of this is the excellent and sympathetic company that the daily carers provide. Being able to access the daily carer's report is very reassuring and allows us to respond on a daily basis as and when necessary.
Overall we are very impressed with the service and with the quality and professionalism of the carers.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet your team of carers who were all as helpful as could be, cheerful and willing at all times. They were employed to give personal care to me and my wife each morning. This left 15 minutes spare when they were happy to do ironing, change bedding etc which was a big help.
We were sad to say goodbye and will certainly ask for help from Home Instead if we need it in the future.

Home Instead's compassionate and flexible approach enabled my parents to manage his last few weeks prior to moving my dad to a care home. The staff were all superb, engaging at the right level and amount without stifling my mum. The support we received from the management and admin team - sometimes
at the weekend - was outstanding. Customer care went above and beyond again and again. I would highly recommend and use again (though hope I don't have to!)

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.905 for Home Instead Central Hampshire is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.905

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead Central Hampshire is based on 21 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

  • 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.
