Overall Experience

We are very happy with the service provide by Home Instead (Wandsworth, Lambeth & Dulwich). The care givers all worked to help Mum stay in her own home. They took the time to talk to her and ensure she was set up for the day. They showed her dignity and respect.

Overall Experience
Home Instead have and are continuing to provide excellent personal care for my 92-year-old mother. I am particularly impressed with how quickly and compassionately they were able to respond to my need for providing regular and safe personal care for my mother with very short notice.
All the carers are extremely professional, kind and caring and provide safe and competent personal care and treat my mother with dignity. There is a rota of regular carers and all the carers always arrive on time and are efficient and punctual.

The management, supervision and administration are also excellent. It is always possible to speak to someone on the phone if I have any queries. I would highly recommend Home Instead to friends and relatives.

The care was easily arranged. My mother's needs were understood. An excellent carer was matched with my mother, who had been apprehensive until she met the carer. The carer was kind, professional, reliable and got on well with my mother. My mother was fond of her and really appreciated her.

Thank you all for the wonderful care you gave my mother and my father over the last seven years. The whole family join with me in thanking you all. When Mum, Dad and I chose Home Instead all those years ago now, we were sure then that we made the right decision, and throughout this time, you have given us a wonderful, caring and very professional service with a very personal and incredibly well-organised approach.

You have proved our decision to be absolutely right for my parents, you gave them the freedom to live the remainder of their lives with greater security and confidence. We owe you a great debt of gratitude.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all of the team at Home Instead for the care that you have provided our parents over the past two and a half years. Without exception, your carers have been kind and compassionate and have made considerable sacrifices in order to improve upon my parents' quality of life. I believe that their input has enabled us to care for Mum at home right until the end and the fact that we were able to do so has brought us considerable solace during very difficult times.

I am very grateful for your help with sorting the medication issue and also your feedback from your visit yesterday. Mum's moods are very variable and it can be hard to keep her motivated especially as she can’t go out unless accompanied any more. I know she is very grateful for the various carer's visits and they do seem to cheer her up most of the time. I am glad you were able to attend yourself.

Once again, many thanks.

The carers looking after my husband who has dementia are really lovely. Not only are they highly professional and experienced but they also bring fun and humour to his life which has had a big impact on his health and general wellbeing. They are a great credit to Home Instead.

Review from Maria I W (Daughter of Client) published on 9 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father's Home Instead caregiver has been amazing. My father is 96 and lives in sheltered accommodation. The carer always arrives with a smile and a handshake and hands him his morning newspaper. The organisation takes great care to support his health, emotional needs and personal safety. The team show great respect towards my father. My mind is at rest because they have never failed to attend. If there needs to be any changes in carer due to sickness or holidays that is taken care of by the office and I am notified. I know my father is in good hands and that makes all the difference to my peace of mind.

We are fortunate to have an excellent team helping us care for Mum. The carers are very experienced and have sometimes given us advice. Their suggestions are very welcome especially as Mum gets more frail. She likes and trusts them all. I find the oversight and supervision very reassuring.

Overall Experience
From the initial meeting with the Home Instead representative, I knew we had made the right choice. We were both made to feel at ease and confident that going forward, my mum's best interests and needs would be met.
All the caregivers are extremely patient and kind, they have a good understanding of their client’s needs, especially when dealing with clients with dementia like my mum.

Every aspect of this service is well managed, the office team are efficient and helpful and try their best to sort things out as swiftly as possible when needed. There have been some challenging times but with the help of all at Home Instead, we have managed to overcome them. I can recommend anyone that is looking for care and support of their loved ones to use this company they all go above and beyond. Thank you.

Home Instead have now looked after and cared for my mum for five years. Through all the changes and ups and downs we have had during this time the carers have been great. Mum is delighted when they arrive and they demonstrate a professional and sensitive approach in relation to caring for her. As her health has deteriorated over this time they have remained a consistent and valued support for her as well as my sister and I.

Overall Experience
A care agency that really cares. Home Instead enabled me to care for my dad at home, supporting us from when he was fully independent and just needed some extra help, to when he was no longer mobile and needed equipment and 2 people to move him.

He liked and trusted his carers and they fitted in to our busy family. My dad is sadly no longer with us, but I keep in touch with Home Instead. This alone speaks volumes.

Overall Experience

I did a lot of online research before I decided to contact Home Instead Senior Care to find a carer to visit my mother a few times a week. I really liked their general approach (eg minimum visit duration of 1 hour) and the fact that they are a local company. As my mother is in the early stages of Alzheimer's it was also crucial that the same carer would visit her each time. The carer that Home Instead found is truly ideal. My mother has grown very fond of her and looks forward to her visits. If there are any issues then the carr or agency contact me and let me know. I'm so thankful.

Overall Experience
My parents aged 100 and 97 were treated with kindness, patience and at all times with dignity. As my father's dementia deteriorated additional care was provided by people he knew and trusted.
As the family, we were given good advice as their on-going care and needs increased.

It gave me peace of mind in the knowledge they were receiving the best possible care.

Overall Experience

The care and attention received from Home Instead was absolutely fantastic. We could not have asked for better. We were allocated a dedicated team of carers so we always knew who would be attending. They were well trained, dedicated to their role and their attention to detail was second to none. The back office support was also brilliant - an important factor in any care package.

Tony O'FlahertyJob Title:DirectorJoined: 2011

My family have always been very involved in the care industry and I have been brought up with an appreciation of the positive effects that good care has on people’s lives. My parents between them have over 65 years’ experience running residential homes and providing support to the elderly, and I really wanted to follow in their footsteps and specialise in providing quality care to senior citizens and those with physical and learning disabilities. Having been hospitalised after an accident some years ago, I required several months of home care and it was during this period that I realised the huge effect well trained, caring, compassionate and considerate carers can have on one’s emotional wellbeing, independence and quality of life. As a result of my experience I ensure that all our CAREGivers are highly trained, compassionate individuals whose focus is on delivering quality, dependable, personalised care to every one of our clients, every single day
