Started with this company end of May as very dissatisfied with previous carers. Have found all the carers to be very proactive and professional and Dad is now receiving the care he should be getting. Also, all the office staff are very efficient and helpful.

I recently changed care providers to this agency and it was simply the best move ever for my fathers care. He is washed, laundered, cleaned, showered and cared for by proper carers who know in-depth about care for the elderly and for those with difficulties. I would recommend them above any other I've
experienced so far and do not have a negative word for the carers or the backup team. Very well done all.

My mum has had a new lease of life since we engaged the carers from Home Instead. She is 91 years old this year but still lives independently, but was struggling in the morning. The carers just come in first thing to help her get up and ready for the day. She has nothing but praise for all of them and
their care and attention has made a huge difference to her. She would highly recommend Home Instead to anyone thinking of having care in the home.

The care staff allocated to help were amazing, always smiling and mum looked forward to their visits. They were all good motivators but above all - caring. The office staff were always very willing to help, answered calls quickly and nothing was too much trouble.


Would definitely recommend this company

- Their care took a huge pressure off me as well as making mum feel more contented.

In something over 2 years, the 5-6 employees of Home Instead Senior Care (Huntingdon) who have visited us all were obviously well experienced and trained. All had pleasant personalities and were willing and helpful in all ways. They were also punctual and reliable.

My mother had been supported at home by Home Instead for just over a year. My wife and I have always been impressed by her care and the empathy/compassion of her carers. I have on occasions sought detailed advice related to specific direction and contacts. I confirm information provided was both clear
and helpful in respect of regulations. We welcomed the regular contact with staff and their accessibility.

Home Instead provide a home carer for my father who has mid-stage Alzheimer's. The carer is very competent and caring towards my father. She visits my father once every week for approximately 5 hours. Home Instead's office is very efficient about re-arranging or cancellation of visits.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.183) out of 10 for Home Instead (Huntingdon) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.583 for Home Instead (Huntingdon) is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.583

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Huntingdon) is based on 6 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 = 4.6

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
