We worked with Home Instead to support my mother and father during what turned out to be the final 18 months of their life. My mother had terminal cancer, and my father had end stage COPD. They were both sound of mind, but living in a 3 story house was challenging, and keeping on top of it became impossible as my mother dealt with some aggressive treatments.
We went to Home Instead after being recommended by a friend who works in social services in the area, and some research online. They sent us the most wonderful carer, who became a friend to mum and dad, and indeed to us children. She gave us peace of mind that mum and dad had the support they needed. She became such a friend that she actually attended both funerals. I think she was one of a kind - a carer by calling. She shown professionalism and kindness, treating my parents with great love and care.
The team at the office were always friendly and supportive, and did their best to met all our needs throughout the process
A social worker suggested Home Instead because we wanted the same person coming on a regular basis in the afternoons to provide companionship for our 87 year old stepmother who lived alone. Home Instead dealt with our request efficiently and found someone suitable who was reliable and punctual. Unfortunately, my stepmother deteriorated and is now in a nursing home, however, we were pleased with the service provided and would recommend Home Instead.
The agency is easy to deal with, attentive, concerned and polite. The staff are very keen to help and cooperate as much as possible and always call you back to keep you updated. The customer service is very good and accommodate requests whenever possible.

Meet the Team (9)
I joined Home Instead in 2017, and I am very passionate about delivering person-centred and relationship-led care to clients. I see our role in the office as providing a service to clients, but also supporting our care professionals to be the best they can be.
I started in care due to the flexibility with young children, but over time, I have progressed to GM and Group Registered Manager. I'm grateful for the opportunities I have been given over the past 5 years. I LOVE my job, I love the different tasks, I love the variety.
I’ve worked for Home Instead since 2023, starting as a scheduler & progressing to Care Manager. I support the office team & ensure our clients receive the highest quality care. Passionate about making a positive difference, I love being part of the Home Instead family.
My main focus is connection and consistency. I work closely with our clients and their families to build trust and ensure every visit is meaningful. My down-to-earth nature helps put everyone at ease, and I am always here to support our team with advice and encouragement.
I bring compassion and real knowledge to every client's care journey. Working closely with families and Care Professionals, I create care plans that truly fit each client's life, personality, and preferences. I'm passionate about helping people age with dignity.
I focus on ensuring our Care Professionals are confident and ready for anything. Delivering our award-winning training with bundles of energy and empathy, I equip them with the skills they need to do their best work and support their growth from day one.
I've enjoyed over eleven years working in care, with seven of these as a scheduler, ensuring that visits run smoothly week after week. I love the variety the role brings, and knowing the work I do each week really supports the people we care for.
When you reach out to us, I'm often the first voice you'll hear. I have a genuine passion for helping families navigate their care options, and I am deeply involved in building strong relationships within our local community.
People and community are what get me out of bed in the morning. After years in social prescribing and home care, I know how much the right relationships matter, and building those across our area is exactly what I love doing to support our clients and care professionals.
