Home Instead (Peterborough Oundle & The Deepings) Caregivers have looked after my mum for more than 3 years - their care has been exemplary.
We have all received magnificent support and care from both the congress and the office team. Home Instead did a great job of helping my mum to stay in her home
and during the difficult days of lockdown went above and beyond to keep her safe and cheerful.

We were recommended Home Instead from our good friends with a view to providing assistance and companionship for my elderly mother. Our aim was to prolong my mother's ability to continue to live independently. I am pleased to report that the service provided by Home Instead exceeded our expectations.
At every stage of the process, Home Instead were efficient and professional and accurately identified my mother's requirements. The care that followed the detailed assessment could not be faulted with all the carers always arriving on time and they were always well presented, courteous and patient. The carers provided much-needed assistance and stimulation for my mother who always looked forward to the visits.Thank You.

We arranged for my 91-year-old mum to have Home Instead carers, based on their excellent reputation. My mum became increasingly unable to manage on her own at home, because of mobility issues. The ladies from Home Instead were all amazing with her and helped her as much as possible. Sadly after only
a few weeks, we realised that even with help, she could no longer live independently, so we’ve had to take the next step and look for long term care.
We would recommend Home Instead to everyone looking for home care. The whole process was totally professional, from the care plan set up by the office staff to the carers and their recording of visits on the app. Thank you all for everything you did to help my mum, you are amazing.

I have already recommended Home Instead several times. All the staff I have dealt with have been kind, courteous, respectful and accommodating. My mum was incredibly resistant to any professional input or help but Home Instead worked with that and her, identifying superb ladies to work with her. My
mum now really enjoys their company and they are a huge help to me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our family used Home Instead to provide care for our mum during her last two years at home before residential care became necessary due to dementia. They were always professional, kind and understanding. They provided the same consistent carers so as not to confuse our mum and were supportive of her
needs. The care was tailored to suit her with her best interests as a priority. The communication between the office team, the carers and us was exceptional, they always went the extra mile, with senior managers calling us to offer help and advice when it came to difficult decisions and situations. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them and in fact, we have twice passed their details on to friends who need help with loved ones.

I'm well satisfied with the care and support from my carers and from the office staff because they are trained carers as well.

Thanks so much for this review. I'm particularly pleased you have mentioned that the office team are all fully trained and practising CAREGivers, which is something we believe really helps the running of our service. Everybody in the office has a passion for delivering 'top notch' care and I'm delighted to be able to share your kind review with them.

We will never be able to thank you enough! Having come to you when we had a poor experience with another company, I feel you have been holding my hand ever since. My mum previously didn't want anyone but me but now she loves to see the carers coming in. They make mum feel at ease and always go over
and above for her and for me. You are the example of how to provide care, treating mum with care, respect and dignity. Thank you for making mum's life better and thank you for allowing me to have a life!

My mother could not have received better care than she has from her Home Instead carers. Everyone has been gentle and helpful from the start. The office staff are always helpful and supportive. All round we feel very lucky to have found this provider and would highly recommend them.

I have found all members of staff with whom I have dealt to be friendly, professional, knowledgable and helpful.
We enjoy our relationships with our carers who provide a window on the outside world with their chats on multiple family, general and topical matters - vital social contacts.
As for help
in the home, I find this invaluable. Through proactive and willing i.e. willing to tackle even unpleasant tasks!
I find that Home Instead exceeds its claims of providing a home instead. Many thanks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having had variable experience with care providers for my parents over the years, I have been amazed at the service offered by Home Instead.
The staff are without exception outstanding and are willing to go the extra mile on every occasion.
Since I live an hour and a half drive away from my aunt,
I very much rely on Home Instead to look out for her and keep me informed, which they do efficiently and in a caring way.
When I ring the office, the response is always positive and knowledgeable.
In the current pandemic situation, I could not manage without them.
I can't imagine anybody wanting to use any other provider.

Wow! What a wonderfully kind review, thank you so much for taking the time to tell others about our service. It's genuinely a pleasure and privilege to do what we do and to know that I have personally selected your aunt's CAREGivers gives me on a personal level a lot of satisfaction. Thank you once again, I will share your kind words with the rest of our team.

Please do not hesitate to use the services from Home Instead Senior Care Peterborough. They are amazing. All of the staff have helped us as a family so much but more importantly have enabled my mum to stay in her own home. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and they take so much care in making sure
that mum has a great life.

0ur experience with Home Instead has been an entirely positive one. From day one, the wonderful Home Instead staff guided us through the process and reassured us they could meet our parent's needs.
All the caregivers have been so dedicated, compassionate and reliable. They have provided companionship
and wonderful care, often going above and beyond to make sure our parents were safe and happy. Their enthusiasm, patience, warmth and empathy was boundless.
As a family we had total peace of mind, knowing our parents had the very best care and companionship at all times.
The scheduling team were equally efficient. Sometimes our needs and dates changed at the last minute and they were always able to accommodate our changes. They never let us down once.
The continuity of care provided allowed both our parents and us as a family, to build a very special relationship with the caregivers.
Without hesitation, we recommend Home Instead to anyone who is looking for care for a loved one.

Happy with our caregiver she takes me as I am versatile in what she does she uses initiative, knows or is learning where things go which I don't help by changing my mind. Cheerful and just gets on with things that are necessary. Time flies by. Good sense of humour.

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.
