Review from Darshana J (Daughter of Client) published on 27 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Home Instead have been provided personal care for my mother since March '16. Very impressed with their responsiveness to needs and requests - they have always responded to all enquiries and are accommodating to a client's needs. They also ensure that the caregivers are 'attuned' to the needs of the user. Understanding, compassionate and professional in all our dealings with both management, admin staff and carers.

Overall Experience

Home Instead have been a lifesaver for me and my family. They have never let us down, are always reliable, punctual and treat my mother with respect and dignity. This service allows me to continue to work and know that my mother is still able to attend appointments and have a lovely day/afternoon out with the carers who she feels are friends - people she can chat to, laugh with and be herself.

The carers go above and beyond, every carer has been happy, cheerful and nothing is too much trouble. Home Instead as a whole keep in touch with me, and are extremely professional in every time they do, they are not just a business, they are part of our family.

Overall Experience

Home Instead have been caring for my father for over a year, I have found them reliable and professional in the care they provide. I chose Home Instead Milton Keynes as they were able to give a regular non-rushed call time with a regular dedicated carer, this is important as my father has Alzheimer's and likes a routine and cannot be rushed. My father is treated with dignity and has regular reviews to ensure his needs are met. The management/staff are very approachable and always available should I have the need to make contact with them. Thank you Home Instead Senior Care Milton Keynes.

Overall Experience
I have used this agency for over 5 years now, first for my father until he went into full-time care and now for my mother. Both parents have (or had) dementia, the care we have received has enabled them to be cared for as long as possible within their own home, where they feel safe and secure. The staff are all well trained in care for those with dementia, and indeed have taught me a lot over the years! The 'girls' are like family to both my mother and myself. As I work it is such a blessing to know my mother is being cared for, they truly are the 'daughter who doesn't work'.

I appreciate this isn't the cheapest agency out there but I believe it gives excellent value for money.

The care service was excellent, always reliable and helped take a great burden off us. Also, knowing Mum was getting company and outings which she really enjoyed and a meal and snacks. We would gladly recommend this service to anyone.

My mother has received care from a variety of Home Instead ladies for a number of years now. They have always been very kind, helpful, patient and caring to Mum. We are all very grateful - they do their jobs very well and are always pleasant, punctual and friendly. Mum feels safe and secure with them - I know it's not always easy and at the moment she is sadly struggling with a health problem. The ladies are being supportive and patient with her. Thank you.

It's very reassuring for me to know that someone from Home Instead will arrive each day at the same time to help my wife wash and dress and get ready for the day ahead. Someone who is professional at their job and who my wife has got to know and trust.

Review from Lindsay K (Daughter of Client) published on 18 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We used Home Instead Senior Care over 6 years, first as a companionship visit then 4 visits a day and finally right time care alongside 4 daily care visits. Carers were excellent, attentive, caring, adaptable and became friends to my mother not just carers. There was always a main carer with perhaps 2 others to support so mum knew who was coming in and may get to know each other well- so unlike previous agencies where sometimes 8 or 9 different carers would come a week. Managers were supportive and friendly kept in touch and provided care often at short notice as circumstances changed often rapidly. Excellent care service all round.

Review from Valerie M (Daughter of Client) published on 14 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Home Instead Milton Keynes' service provided a small team of the same care givers, so my mother got to know all who came to her home and she really appreciated the consistency of care and the routine of their fixed time calls. All the care givers were warm, caring, supportive, respectful and professional. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was done with such good humour. I always felt that my mother was in a very safe pair of hands when the care givers were with her. She used the service for companionship and home help to start with and then for personal care as well, as her needs changed. The standard of care was high for everything.

The office staff and management were always very helpful, empathetic and pleasure to deal with. They were flexible and moved swiftly to find cover if my mother needed extra calls for any reason. Altogether we found it to be an excellent service that lived up to its ethos.

Overall Experience

Home Instead provide a reliable and professional care service to my elderly housebound mother.

There are consistently only two carers involved - a main and backup carer - and this allows for the development of the relationship and for continuity of care.

There have never been any missed attendances and the carers are very professional and supportive in everything they do.

Home Instead offers a unique approach to care, during a period when larger agencies are becoming overstretched, inefficient and unreliable.

Susan Prosky Job Title: Owner / Director Joined: 2012
Susan Prosky

My background is within the Hotel & Catering world, having run a Venue Finding Company for 20 years and prior to that working as a National Accounts Manager for a large chain of London Hotels. Service is in my blood, and when researching the Care Industry, I felt that this is a skill that would prove very useful.

I have lived near Olney for over 20 years with my husband Matt and 2 boys (now both young adults), lovely Phoebe, my Wheaten Terrier and 2 cats, Shadow & Mr Mugabe (he really is a dictator!) In my spare time, I love reading and walking in the lovely parks around our home.

Since starting up Home Instead in 2012, we have supported so many wonderful clients to facilitate their wishes to stay at home, wherever that may be, in the place they love or where they feel most comfortable. Getting help or admitting you might need some assistance isn't always an easy decision to make, but we have many years’ experience in the sector and know that choosing the right care is just so important. I do feel very proud of my team of office colleagues and CAREGivers who have embarked on this journey with me - we are always looking at ways we can improve and add another dimension to our wonderful clients' lives.

Sarah Marquiss Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2012
Sarah Marquiss

I started in Health and Social care 17 years ago, when I moved from London to Buckinghamshire. I had two small daughters and wanted something I could do as well as being a mum. Over the years, I have worked as a carer and run daycare centres for the elderly with the British Red Cross. I joined Home Instead in February 2012 when the office was first established. I have always been passionate about the good quality care that was central to each individual, and the Home Instead ethos matched this. When starting with Home Instead, I was the Registered Care Manager. As the company grew, I developed into the Operations Manager. More recently, I have been promoted to the General Manager of the company. I truly believe that we are the best home care company in our area, which has a passionate team in the office and out on the field. Whenever I get free time, I love to travel and embrace new experiences.

Rachel Stephenson Job Title: Operations and Registered Care Manager Joined: 2012
Rachel Stephenson

As a Care Manager, I am involved in most aspects of the daily delivery of our care services. From the moment we receive a new client enquiry, I will work together with the client and their family to put a plan in place that facilitates their individual needs.

Having over 10 years’ experience in the sector, initially supporting children before I moved into adult social care, I also deliver training to new CAREGivers, teaching them how to administer medication correctly and the principles of moving and handling.

I come from a large family, having 2 sisters and a brother. This makes my home life as busy as my work, as I'm currently living with my partner JJ, mum, dad, sisters, niece and 2 dogs, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Pauline Klein Job Title: Receptionist Joined: 2014
Pauline Klein

With a background in running pubs, I am used to having to juggle priorities, which is probably why I enjoy my role within the scheduling team so much. Ensuring that our clients get the right people at the right time every day takes dedication and commitment, but the rewards are well worth it. I know how important it is to the people we support to be sure that they can rely on us. Just that little phone call to let them know we are on our way, or that pint of milk we can get for them on our way over, can make all the difference. I still get to go out and see all my clients whilst being a mentor to new CAREGivers, making sure that they feel fully supported.

Dana West Job Title: Deputy Care Manager Joined: 2013
Dana West

My role as Deputy Care Manager sees me heavily involved in scheduling visits and liaising with clients, their families and other healthcare professionals to ensure every aspect of their care runs smoothly. Coming from an airline background, delivering great customer service is at the heart of my nature. It’s very important for me to get to know each of our clients and CAREGivers personally. By fully understanding their needs, we can ensure that we respond quickly to any changes.
