Review from Alison H (Daughter of Client) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Thanks to all at Home Instead who have helped care for our mum. From the moment a particular member of staff came to assess her at her home we knew mum was going to be looked after well. The detailed care plan showed she understood all of mums needs.
All the care staff and office staff have been brilliant,

mum and dad have been so happy, mum always looked lovely and clean. I know it wasn't always easy to get her out of bed and into the shower especially on a cold morning. I would love to name you all but would hate to miss someone out.
The reports have been detailed and it's been nice to read how mum is each day Mum and Dad thought the world of you all. It's the reason why mum stayed at home so long.
If mum returns home or dad needs care we will be getting in touch again. A massive big thank you from all the family.

The care provided by Home Instead has been fantastic. They have gone over and above to help with my sister who has dementia. They have always been professional and caring. We especially like their reports after each visit.

Overall Experience

It's hard to put into words how amazing Home Instead Rochdale were when we needed care provision for Dad at short notice.
The consultation process gathered information on Dad's personal care requirements and background information on Dad and his interests. We were nervous before the first visit

but the carer was a delight and put everyone at ease and treated Dad in such a caring manner.
The personal care is provided in such a way as to maintain Dad's privacy and independence as much as possible and is never hurried. All of the carers have been well trained and if something needs doing get on with it e.g. if the sheets or clothes need changing. When I had dropped Dad's razor, it was the carer who pointed out that the foil was damaged. The team have all been lovely people and provided companionship to both Dad and my stepmum.
We now see the positives of care: support with Dad's needs, reducing the burden on my stepmum and the companionship. I have recommended the team to friends.

Overall Experience

My sister, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, has 2 carer/companions from Home Instead. They come for 3 hours on 2 days of the week. They have made such a difference to her life and she really looks forward to them coming.
They are more than companion/carers and have become real friends. They

are very willing and will do anything she asks them to do from cleaning to changing bed linen to taking her out for walks and visiting interesting places. They usually have a coffee on the way too!
We are very grateful to Home Instead for providing such a splendid service. Thank you.

Overall Experience

We have been so happy with the care our mum has received from the consistent three carers she has had over the last 6 months. The carers are kind, patient extremely hard working and always go above and beyond what has been asked of them. My mum feels safe and looked after and above all listened to.

They have also allowed me to have more freedom because I know she is being so well cared for on the days I don't see her.
Thank you.

Review from P I (Son of Client) published on 7 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum is 78 years young. She has a few illnesses and is getting very forgetful and confused. She is prescribed a lot of different medications throughout the day which can be stressful and time consuming for me to administer. Home instead come in 3 times a day and make sure she takes the correct meds

at the appropriate times. I have found them to be very trustworthy and informative to my mums needs in the moment. They are also very flexible when my mum needs to go to hospital appointments and will work around her schedule if required. All in all very well organised, and meticulous care providers. Thank you.

Reply from Beth Shakleton, Operations Manager at Home Instead (Rochdale)

Thank you for your review. It is an absolute pleasure supporting Mum, she is such a lovely lady and the carers really enjoy visiting her. I will pass on this feedback to the Care Professionals.

The carers are excellent and have provided a first class service despite the horrendous weather conditions they have battled through snow and ice to ensure that my mum had consistent care, the support staff have also been brilliant keeping me fully updated and dealing very effeciently with any requests

I have made. I feel confident that my mum is in capable hands, knowing that she is safe and secure and professionally looked after makes all the difference I can now start to breath again !

Review from Julie F (Daughter of Client) published on 2 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum looks forward to going shopping and going for lunch with her carer. She takes her out a couple of times a week, it gives her something to look forward to. She also has her nails done and loves showing them off. There's nothing that is too much trouble for them, you only have to ask or leave a

note and it's done. My mum has a couple of carers and they are so good with her. On the days she's not going out they make sure mum has lunch and check her medication.
I highly recommend this company to anyone who has doubts about letting strangers into your loved one's home, they become friends and a lifeline to them.
Them going into Mum during the week gives me peace of mind whilst I am at work, they ring me or leave a note if anything needs doing or mum isn't 100%.

My carer has been with me for almost a year and has done a great job. She cleans my home and is also a good companion and friend. She thinks of many interesting things we can do together i.e. visiting the refurbished town halls and many other places locally.
She is always on time and I am grateful

for her care of me.

Review from Rachel S (Daughter of Client) published on 3 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My wonderful parents have sadly both been diagnosed with Dementia on top of other health needs. It has been a painful few months watching them decline as they have tried desperately to cling on to their independence and continue to live together in their beautiful home. As a family, we have been incredibly

stretched taking on the running of their financial affairs, house upkeep and management of their day-to-day needs.
We recently hit a crisis point and placed Mum and Dad in a care facility for a respite period. They were both incredibly unhappy and wanted to return home but we knew we needed care in place for this to be a safe option.
Luckily we were recommended Home Instead. Every aspect of the process has been exceptional and a staff member has matched my parents with a wonderful team of care professionals. We are only a week in but it has already made a huge difference to all concerned and we are so grateful we found your company.

Reply from Beth Shakleton, Operations Manager at Home Instead (Rochdale)

Thank you for taking the time to complete this lovely review. It's been a pleasure supporting Mum and Dad to return home and witnessing the confidence that grows in them each day and being a part of the journey to gaining their independence back. The Care Professionals have already built a great bond and really enjoy visiting your Parents.

Overall Experience

My Mum is nearly blind but still lives in her own bungalow.
I felt she needed some help with food and general cleaning and Home Instead was recommended to me.
In the last 3 years, they have been great.
Mum even says they are friends now and look forward to their visits.
I can highly recommend

them.
They let us know who is coming each day and are on time.
Great service!

Overall Experience

Home Instead have enabled us to keep our Dad in his home in his familiar environment. Without the service, my sister and I would have struggled to meet his daily needs as he slips evermore into the stranglehold that is Dementia. We rely on the carers to support Dad which enables us to know he's in safe

hands while we enjoy time with our families. Caring for someone with this condition is a large commitment and responsibility. My sister and I work well together and hard to give our Dad a happy, safe and loving day-to-day life. The carers complement this ethos of care, they are all excellent caregivers and treat Dad with the utmost respect. He feels happy and safe with each one of the team. Big thanks Home Instead you have been there for us in our time of great need.

Review from Simon D (Son of Client) published on 30 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My 91-year-old mother lives independently in sheltered accommodation. We live a long distance away from her and Mum needed care to help her and to allow her to remain in her flat.
We had a recommendation from a friend about Homeinstead and decided to give them a try.
The carers go into see Mum three

times a day and they have been a God send. Their attention to the support and care they give my Mum is excellent.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. I can see the record of their visits and what they have done to Mum via their app.
They have also been able to take Mum to appointments such as the dentists and outpatients at the hospital.
We have an email group to allow the carers to raise issues with me and my wife and to contact them. This works faultlessly and has allowed us to arrange shopping deliveries when her supplies are getting low or issues that require my wife and I to raise with doctors/pharmacists and the like.
They don't come cheap, but are worth every pound of it !

Review from E J (Son of Client) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Back in May 2023, my mother had a serious fall and we needed some daytime assistance. Doing my research I found that Home Instead had good reviews. A meeting was arranged and we were impressed by the thorough and professional consultation that took place. The care we have had since the summer has been

excellent. The carers have always been kind, considerate and professional, always happy to help in any way they can. This might be taking her shopping, or for a gentle stroll, or helping with laundry - all sorts of things. My mother has looked forward to their visits and regards them as friends. Communication is also very good with the office team ensuring everything is working well and monitoring the situation. My mother could not have continued to live at home without Home Instead. Sadly she has now to move into a care home due to health issues, but we are very grateful for the care she has had from Home Instead, and I can wholeheartedly recommend their service.

We use your services twice each week so that my partner can continue using the gym. It had become difficult for him to use the changing room and, of course, I was not allowed in there. With support, he can change and shower and use the gym facilities which will hopefully keep him fit and active.

Review from Lindsey B (Daughter of Client) published on 12 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both office and care staff work extremely hard to provide a high level of care to my mum and reassurance for me, often going above and beyond in what they do. A regular team of caregivers has really helped my mum, who has dementia, to build relationships with them and for them to really know my mum

and her care needs well. I am reassured that the time they spend with mum is time well spent, not just on the necessities, but also on ensuring mum has a bit of fun and enjoys the visit and the company of the caregivers, which is so important to her mental health and well-being.
Thank you everyone for not just making it feel like a 'job you do' but work that is worthwhile and makes a positive difference to me and my mum.

Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Home Instead Rochdale. The care given to my father was of a very high standard. Delivered with loving care and compassion from every carer who looked after my dad. They go above and beyond to provide a professional, highly trained service for the client and also their family

members.
Dad's end-of-life care was given with heartfelt love and dignity. Before that, he developed a close and friendly relationship with a carer who would keep him company once a week. Thank you for everything you did for my dad we would have all been lost without you all.

Thank you for your comments, we will pass them to the staff who visited your father.
