Good, caring support and help. I enjoy the company of the carers and the ability to go out shopping, and their support with my activities. I have, through time, built up friendships and trust with several carers, which is good for my wellbeing. Showing me empathy and respect, and I love to have a fun
time with fun carers who have the same sense of humour as I do.

The carer I usually have knows where everything is and is very fast worker.
It was a great help being taken to a medical appointment, especially with shopping for another important item. The housework enables me to live in tidiness.

It is annoying when the timing of the visits keep changing. The quality of care given by different carers is very variable. I was really unhappy that I was charged double at Christmas for care I did not receive as I had gone into a home for a fortnight.

Mum has been receiving care from Home Instead Lytham, Fylde and Wyre for many years and we wouldn't want anybody else. The care she receives is and has always been excellent.
The caregivers not only look after all her practical needs but also support her emotionally. They have without a doubt kept
her going and have been fantastic support to me by giving me peace of mind knowing she is well cared for when I'm not there.
She loves telling them her life stories and they genuinely are interested in listening to her making her feel valued at the grand age of 100. They show compassion and really do care about her whilst also doing all the practical tasks required.
Equally the office team are always helpful, efficient and friendly resolving any problems or changes required straight away.

Home Instead are a valued support. Much appreciate the flexibility of tasks, e.g. help in home, going shopping, and particularly visits for health care. My sister enjoys the companionship of all the carers. It helps me as the next of kin to have the Birdie App to receive updates of visits etc. Thank
you!

Reply from Maria TURNER, Branch Manager at Home Instead (Lytham, Fylde & Wyre)

Thank you for the lovely feedback, companionship really does make a difference in our client's lives and is one of the reasons that our care professionals love their job so much. Our app allows all of our care professionals, clients and families to see a snapshot into the care visit, giving essential peace of mind.

The care manager met Mum and I at Mum's house to go through her care plan. All care given is good except the carers never help her put in her hearing aids as requested. The care manager promised this would be addressed.

Reply from Maria TURNER, Branch Manager at Home Instead (Lytham, Fylde & Wyre)

Thank you for your review, I am sorry to hear that our carers are not attending to your mums hearing aids and this will be addressed with the relevant care team.

Home Instead really care about their service users they became a part of our lives when our nan needed care at home. They would go above and beyond to help and my nan loved them all. They were there right until the end of my nan's life and I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else.

On the first visit, my nan was so worried about it and nervous about meeting new people so when Home Instead arrived to meet Nan they were very pleasant and within about 15 minutes my nan was so comfortable about having them in her home and was happy to get them to take care of all her needs. Home Instead
have been a blessing to my whole family.

All the staff and the care coordinator were extremely kind, efficient and respectful towards my late mother-in-law.
The knowledge and understanding they all brought to using the right methods and techniques to ensure her nutrition and hygiene needs were met, despite quite often, stubborn resistance,
kept her as healthy and comfortable as possible.
They also knew exactly when to request medical expertise be brought in and how to get their interactions with her at just the right level to ensure she was included and fully engaged during their visits.
Support and communication for us was also invaluable and I can’t praise this care firm enough.

Reply from Mary Noone, Operational Manager at Home Instead (Lytham, Fylde & Wyre)

Thank you for your lovely review. We love hearing how the training we provide is put into practice in real situations and the benefits it brings to clients and families. I am glad we could help during such a difficult time.

My mum’s overall care has been fantastic under Home Instead since she started with them in early September. I’ve seen a significant increase in my mum's well-being in all areas since they’ve undertaken her care, and my only regret is that I didn’t get them to manage her care much earlier in 2023.
I
can only thank each of them for the great care they provide for my mum. She is very happy with the care she receives, and that’s what is most important of all.

Very happy with the carers. Not so happy with notice period to temporarily suspend - too long notice has to be given.

My mum has been with Home Instead for 5 years. We were concerned after our dad had died as to how she would manage by herself at home.
She did not wish to go into a residential home so we decided to look at getting her some regular care at home.
At first, she was reluctant with this idea but she is
now happy with the caregiving she receives, usually by the same lady who really has become a friend to Mum.
It is a relief and reassuring to us that Mum is having contact with a kind, caring and reliable caregiver who sees her 4 days each week for an hour in the afternoon. When the weather is nice, Mum can ask to go out in the car to enjoy some fresh air on the promenade in a local park or go to the shop. Alternatively, at the moment, she prefers to stay indoors and the caregiver will help her tidy up, read to her or just have a nice chat.
Mum is now 96 years old and continues to want to live at home. So the caregiving services which Home Instead provide are increasingly important.

My Mum was with Home Instead for a few months and the stress they caused us as a family was horrendous. The caregivers, as a whole, were good but the office staff were rude and obnoxious. I asked them repeatedly for continuity of care that was promised on the day of assessment but when I brought this
up with the manager I was told this never happened. The carers themselves were embarrassed and insisted the stress we were dealing with was unacceptable. They often left because of things they were having to tolerate. I could never raise a problem with the office as they would always make it appear I was wrong. The company made me feel this way. Everything I did or said I began to doubt myself so when a problem arose with particular carers, I just let things slide. Mum dreaded certain carers coming but when I asked for the care coordinator to visit and speak to Mum, again it never happened. Last but not least, a carer used the toilet whilst Mum was in the bathroom. Can’t be right, can it?

Reply from Mary Noone, Operational Manager at Home Instead (Lytham, Fylde & Wyre)

We are sorry to hear your dissatisfaction with our services. Our customers and their families are at the heart of what we do. Following our Care Co-ordinator speaking with you and visiting regularly, conversations with our Care Manager and Operational Manager on several occasions, changing and setting your visit times despite the very rural location, reducing your carers to a much smaller team than usual and two full reviews with your social worker we felt we had resolved these concerns. We always strive for a high quality, individual service and many amendments were made and requests met. However we are very sorry on this occasion we have not met all your particular expectations and wish you well with your new care provider.

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Lytham, Fylde & Wyre) is based on 17 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

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