We've been very grateful for the support provided by the the Home Instead care team over the past few weeks as my father has recovered from surgery and adapted to a significant decline in mobility. The carers have visited regularly to assist him with getting dressed each morning and to support his gentle
rehabilitation efforts.


They've been consistently kind, patient, and respectful - both to my father and to the wider family who've been involved in his care. Their presence has brought structure and calm to what has been a very challenging period, and we've found them to be completely reliable and professional at every step.


It's made a real difference to my father's wellbeing and to our peace of mind, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to others facing similar circumstances.

Everyone was very kind and accommodating, especially as my father's needs seemed to change on an almost daily basis. He was assisted to remain independent with dignity and consideration and he looked forward to the visits from his care professionals. It was easy to contact the office and maintain communications
and the family portal was also helpful.

The support and genuine care my dad received from the whole team has been fabulous. Dad was reluctant to have carers but because of the way in which this team works, he quickly overcame this and enjoyed his visits from the team. As a family we have been so impressed with the way in which the team have
cared and adapted to my dad's changing needs . They have treated him with kindness and dignity at all times, and this has enabled him to retain his independence in living at home longer. We will be forever grateful for this. Thank you.

We engaged Home Instead to provide support to my sister, following a very professional and reassuring first meeting. Almost immediately after they started she was admitted to hospital for a couple of weeks, but it was easy to work around this and they were there to assist when she came out. Happily,
she improved to a point where she did not need further visits, but they were very helpful during the time we needed them and communications were excellent throughout.
We will be very happy to use then again, should the need arise.

Carers was very good dealing with my mother who has slight dementia they built a good relationships . Down side was the manager who on a meeting with my self and mother made 2 false allegations about me and was very rude so I made a complaint but the owners cancelled the contract.

Reply from Kerri Gardner, Registered Care Manager at Home Instead (Bath)

We are sorry after delivering support to your mother for a year the agreement between us and your mother had to come to a end due to a communication breakdown. Ae you are aware we pride ourselves adhering to our processes and putting our clients first is always at the forefront of all we do. Best Wishes.

Home Instead was helping to look after my husband at home while he was suffering from terminal cancer.


We were very impressed by their carers - they were efficient, punctual, kind and never let us down. They were also carers in the true sense, not just fulfilling a role but interacting with my husband

and the rest of the family as individuals who were going through a difficult time.


We would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead to other in a similar position and wish the Company and their wonderful carers all the Best for the future.

The Field Care Supervisor(s) and their Home Instead team are wonderful. A positive initial home visit to my 92-year-old mother resulted in an excellent bespoke care package. Circumstances quickly dictated that enormous changes in provision was required. Everyone was incredibly flexible, professional
and kind. In discussing my mother's rapidly changing circumstances. The advice was constructive, and the team were willing to go that extra mile. Positive relationships were established by the whole Home Instead team with my Mum but also with her wider family, as we all supported each other. The confidence in knowing when carers would arrive, who would they be, and that the full allocation of time would be used professionally and socially was immeasurable and wonderfully reassuring. I can wholeheartedly recommend Home Instead to support independent living of a loved one from a stimulating and compassionate perspective. Thank you for the care and the brilliant advice. Never forgotten.

My Dad received excellent support at home from experienced and supportive carers. The care manager was very responsive and communication was always good. The care manager made lots of helpful suggestions over the months of things that would be useful for Dad. The app was a fantastic way to see what
has gone on during each visit and was invaluable when things were going downhill. My Dad was treated with kindness and dignity and was supported to make his own choices. Home instead kept closely in touch when he was having more difficulty and quickly increased the package of care - although unfortunately did not have enough hours for him to remain at home.
I would highly recommend them.

Home Instead provided daily care for my mum for nearly three years. The care professionals were kind and conscientious. My mum built bonds with many of them and grew fond of a few specific individuals who gave her a sense of friendship and fun as well as caring. The office staff were always responsive
to requests and any issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently. I was always kept informed of my mum's welfare. Home Instead are not cheap but I do feel that the service they provide is worth the money. I would have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead to anyone looking for care in their home.

I have nothing but praise for our wonderful team of carers who visit us four times daily every week.

I have been so impressed with the support, care and management by Home Instead since the first day we met with Dad to discuss his needs. Client's individual needs are their priority and this shone through from the manager to all carers in the team, in their attentiveness and care with my dad, to their
detailed and thoughtful correspondence, ensuring my sister and I were always fully informed. The team were always very flexible and adapted care routines to fit with Dad's/our wishes (it's definitely not easy to initiate care when your dad wants to maintain full independence!). The field care supervisor's guidance was deeply appreciated as we navigated through changing care requirements, and we are grateful to have had Home Instead's support on this journey. Thank you!

Home Instead has given outstanding daily care to our dad over the last few months which has enabled him to stay at home as long as possible. The service is professional, warm and personalised. We have been able to increase care levels as required and the team worked so hard to make sure that Dad's needs
were met. At critical times they went above and beyond, maintained excellent communication with us, and always put Dad's well-being and dignity at the heart of their planning and care. Having no previous experience of engaging care services, we were so pleased to find that Home Instead worked closely with us, and gave us regular and detailed feedback throughout the time they supported Dad so that we knew he was safe and well looked after by the team. I cannot recommend their care services highly enough.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.842 for Home Instead (Bath) is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.842

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Bath) is based on 27 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.

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