Home Instead has been outstanding in their care for Dad and Mum. I am so very grateful for the speed with which the team were able to organise and provide care. Home Instead's support has afforded my parents a great deal of comfort during a difficult time. Thank you!

Overall Experience

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!)

My father very much appreciates his twice-weekly visits from Home Instead; they provide valuable companionship and enable him to spend time out of the house. He has found the carers to be real morale boosters and always looks forward to their visits.

We are very pleased with all the carers that help my wife in the morning. They are caring and careful and well trained. They move her from her bed by a ceiling hoist and they wash and dress her and move her to her electric wheelchair where she remains for the day.

Review from Mark I (Son of Client) published on 5 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has two care pro visits per day and these have enabled her to maintain a more independent life. Due to Mum's condition she still believes she is independent when in reality without her carer's assistance, she would not be able to stay in the house and live the fulfilling life she still has. With my father sadly in full-time care, the companionship is invaluable and all the team are great at being both patient and supportive when Mum is feeling sad and overwhelmed by life events. The quality of the updates logged each visit provides my brother and I with great comfort that Mum is safe, cared for and is getting out enjoying her visits to see Dad, go shopping or for a walk, all inevitably followed by coffee and cake. Whenever we need further assistance or advice the office team are on hand to provide help and reassurance in a professional and friendly manner. We're very grateful to the team who are as much of a support to ourselves as family members as they are to Mum as the client.

The care pros are all so kind and patient with Mum and are always happy to help. I am so grateful that we can rely on them to help with looking after Mum.
The office is always friendly and helpful too and on the rare occasion there are any disruptions to the rota they communicate very quickly to arrange alternatives.

Great company and always happy to recommend them to others.

All care staff are friendly willing and helpful, particularly understanding of dementia care. Able to cope with emergencies and deal with appropriately. Mum was grateful for their support particularly after several falls which needed an ambulance.

I have two carers a day, one to wash and help dress the upper half. The second, cooks the meals. Both carers do all sorts of little jobs, which I am unable to do as I have only my left hand, eg, they are able to undo the jars etc, put out the daily papers in the recycle bins etc.

Review from K C (Daughter of Client) published on 14 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This week my mother aged 91 flooded the utility area floor twice in quick succession. The first time occurred before a Home Instead assistant arrived and the assistant duly mopped up and disposed of the water which made her late for her next appointment but she stayed to make sure Mum was ok.
Then someone from the office rang for a catch-up and offered to chase up the surgery for me so Mum could have her flu jab at home. That was a great relief I'm struggling with my own health at the moment.

Finally, this afternoon because Mums' washing machine isn't working at the moment a Home Instead assistant took a lot of mum's washing home with her to do it there and bring it back. All of this in my opinion is beyond and above what we might have expected and Mum and I are both very grateful that Home Instead staff go the extra mile.

Overall Experience
I cannot be with my mother 24 hours a day, but to know that the excellent staff from Home Instead will come and be my eyes and ears has been such a relief. The effective communication between the carers, the administration and myself is really key to managing a difficult home situation.
The standard of care is really high (mother is an Alzheimer's patient) and their patience and understanding of the condition helps keep my mother calm and content.
During an emergency, I put in a call, and within 5 minutes help had arrived at the door.

My mother will hopefully carry on enjoying her independence at home, thanks to the team at Home Instead.

Review from A H (Client / Service User) published on 2 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've been having care for nearly a decade now and Home Instead is the best agency I've had, I wish I had had them from the beginning. They treat their staff really well which means they are more likely to retain staff which is better for us clients. They are experienced, professional but most importantly, they are kind.
They really put the care in a care agency, the majority of the staff they hire are fantastic and they seem like a real team. The office staff are great at dealing with issues and for someone like me with both physical and mental health conditions, this is so important and helps reduce my anxiety. The only thing I’d change is more continuity.
They say diamonds are formed under pressure and this certainly applies to my current team (including the office staff), who simply shines and radiate light to those they care for. They make me feel less alone and more able to cope with what life throws at me.

I am truly grateful for them.

My father is 90-years-old and does not want to leave his home of 62 years. Home Instead allow this wish to come true. My brothers and I are fully confident in allowing Home Instead to be the sole 'caregivers' for our father. There can be no greater praise than that!

Review from Kathy M (Daughter of Client) published on 25 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother who suffered from dementia, extreme deafness and a level of stubbornness was initially unwilling to accept care. Home Instead and their care staff worked with me to a successful outcome. I found their staff to be outstanding both office staff and carers. They always did that little bit extra to make my life easier. Their arrangements were clear always fulfilled and easy to follow. The use of an App creating a diary was deeply reassuring. On occasions additional staff were required they were always found, even at short notice. If my mother was in accepting of a carer they were changed immediately. Frankly, they’ve been brilliant.
