Overall Experience
Very happy with the service provided. Everything is efficiently organised.
Mum has 3 visits a week, by the same 3 ladies who cover each other’s holidays etc.

The ladies tailor each visit to Mum’s requirements whether it’s help with showering, meal preparation etc. and have built a good friendly relationship with her. Great care was taken to match the carers with shared interests and experiences to Mum’s. Would highly recommend it.

Review from Adrian B (Son of Client) published on 17 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum has been receiving care visits from Home Instead for about a year, and it has made a very big difference to her life. Mum lost dad in 2020, and wishing to remain living independently at home she was initially reluctant to accept assistance, but she has impaired hearing and vision which makes life hard for her. She does have very caring neighbours, but she felt she could not keep asking them for help and so agreed to the suggestion of visits twice a week from Home Instead.

They paired her up with two excellent carers and now she has someone to talk to, to help her with correspondence, with trips out and help with shopping. And all the little tasks that may seem mundane if you have all your sensory faculties but which can be a nightmare for mum. They are both lovely ladies, and she now looks forward to their visits. My brother and I live at opposite ends of the country and it's hugely reassuring for us that Mum is looked after and her needs met.

Review from Carolyn M (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 20 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother-in-law has been receiving care visits from Home Instead since June 2021. As my husband and I live abroad, this has been invaluable to all of us. Mum has developed great bonds with her carers and we have also received wonderful service from the office staff. From the daily carer reports, we were always aware of how Mum was. On the occasions when medical support was needed - after falls or illness - Home Instead managed the situations and kept us updated at all times. On her most recent stay in hospital, they continued a daily visit which kept us updated and provided Mum with a continuity of care at a time of confusion and worry. The level of care they provide to the client, and just as importantly, the level of support they give the family are exemplary. They really alleviate the stress of trying to care for a loved one from a distance.

Home Instead (Peterborough Oundle and The Deepings) operates on a totally professional basis but with caring at its heart.
The Principals and their office-based staff are totally dedicated to the service they offer and the care of their clients.
Equally professional in every way are their caregivers all with appropriate backgrounds of course but people for whom nothing is too much trouble and their support is therefore second to none.

A first-class service.

Review from Mike P (Son of Client) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Home Instead has provided fantastic professional caregivers until Mum moved to her care home. The caregivers were selected with great thought and consideration for Mum's needs and over a five-year period they became good friends of Mum. The CareGiver who attended Mum's first-ever visit was still supporting her through to the last week she needed support at home and the whole team was a trusted extension of the family network supporting Mum, and Dad prior to that. The daily reports of activities, meals, medical updates, walks and topics of conversation with Mum provided an excellent source of information and reassurance of her well-being. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead to any family looking for care and support for a loved one who would benefit from the continuity of a regular friendly face that they could come to know, trust and make friends with.

Overall Experience

Home Instead have been helping my mum and dad for some time now and I can’t fault them at all. They are very professional understanding and helpful. What we as a family like is the fact they choose the right people to help the clients so it’s the same ladies that my parents have every time, they come at the same time every day and there’s no rushing to leave to get to the next client. I would say my parents have built a good relationship with the two ladies they have. They also keep me updated on how they think Mum and Dad are doing.

Overall Experience
The Team at Home Instead have been visiting my Auntie for over a year now and has made such a positive impact on both our Aunt's and her family's lives.
We really don't know what we would have done without them!
They not only offer companionship and conversation which my Aunt values enormously, they encourage her to eat by cooking for her and encourage her to drink more by making her cups of tea.
The care and support offered is exceptional and the Home Instead Team are always willing to do that bit extra to ensure everyone is happy, with a friendly approach and regular updates both by App and phone we would highly recommend their services.

They are literally lifesavers!

Overall Experience
We have used Home Instead on a number of occasions over the last few years and always been very happy with the service. For the last few weeks, they have provided carers for my mum and dad so that they could continue to live at home. Sadly, due to increased illness, this is no longer possible and we have had to say goodbye to the lovely carers who came to help. Without exception, they managed to be both very professional and very friendly, always turning up right on time and providing companionship and care for the whole visit. The management team are also very helpful and they kept us fully informed throughout the period of care at home. The app that the company users to keep family informed of issues during visits was very effective.

In summary, we are very glad to have used Home Instead and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone in a similar situation.

Mum and family, are very happy with her care providers. They have been tailored to suit her needs and her personality and take an interest in her hobbies which is great for her mental health and wellbeing. We have great piece of mind she is well looked after and she loves the fact she gets the same 2 carers and can build a relationship. Not just for January but since the beginning.

Review from Paul F (Son of Client) published on 16 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After my mother had a fall and was hospitalised I needed to find a care provider that enabled her to stay in her home of 60-plus years (at the time of the fall she was 90 years old) I decided on home instead and what a fantastic decision that was! She has been able to remain at home with the fantastic support of her carers and team at home instead. Unfortunately, after a medical issue, she is no longer able to remain at home and has gone into full-time care!

If anyone is looking for the the best care provider in the area and the surrounding area look no further!

Reply from Philip Kennedy, Company Director at Home Instead (Peterborough Oundle & The Deepings)

What a wonderful way to end the week, to hear we could help to enable your Mother to continue to live in her own home for as long as possible. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review and I will be sure to share this with our team and the care professionals that supported your mother. Thank you once again.

Review from Lizzie D (Daughter of Client) published on 6 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Home Instead have been supporting my father for over a year now and I truly do not know how we would cope without them. The ladies who visit my father are, amongst all their skills, kind. This kindness makes my father feel safe and happy to let them care for him; something we never thought he would allow as he has always been a proud man who didn't want help.
Since my mum died, my father has given up on life and his mental wellbeing and health have deteriorated enormously. However, the ladies from Home Instead have supported and cared for him in such a way that we have been able to step back and start to worry less about him. They have even now got him to a point where one of the ladies takes him out once a week for a visit to a cafe and a book shop etc.
I have my own business and if all my staff were as remarkable as the team from Home Instead, I would be a happy lady.

Thank you to the manager and all the team at Home Instead Peterborough.

What an absolutely wonderful review, thank you so much for taking the time to type these kind words and obviously we are delighted that we have been able to support your father.

Paula Job Title: CAREGiver Joined: 2018

"I have been working with Home Instead for just over 18 months and love it. Not long after starting with the company alongside my usual weekly hours, I took on the 'On Call' role 1 in every 4 weekends. The On-Call CAREGiver role involves me visiting clients that have asked for an extra visit, to cover for CAREGivers if they are unable to work for any reason and to be able to offer up anything at short notice to help clients or family members. This gives me a great opportunity to visit new clients, see new faces and hopefully make a difference in their day.
Just like my regular visits with my own clients this sometimes can involve personal care, helping make their day easier, do their hair, nails, maybe a puzzle or watch their favourite programme with them, bake a cake or simply just offering companionship.

Knowing you sometimes do things that may seem quite small to some people can be something incredibly substantial to others. Coming away knowing you have been able to help someone who could be quite vulnerable is such a humble feeling. In these unprecedented times we could be the only voice they hear that day or face they see as some people are unable to even see their loved ones which over time becomes much harder and being with each client for either an hour or 2 or maybe more gives them something to look forward to. The most rewarding part of being an on-call caregiver is knowing I make a difference.
