Review from Jo S (Daughter of Client) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum (and my siblings and me) were absolutely satisfied with the care and support received from Home Instead. From the initial contact right through to meeting the carers, we were delivered a professional, thorough and thoughtful service. They really went the extra mile to try and meet our needs.
The carers were very well-matched with Mum, she enjoyed their visits and struck up a real friendship with them. We feel this friendship was reciprocated and that the carers truly cared for Mum. As a family, this gave us confidence and security very much needed when a family member becomes vulnerable and home alone.
Communication worked well and a review very early on ensured things were working well.
Thank you, Home Instead we are very grateful to you.

Review from I O (Daughter of Client) published on 7 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Constantly impressed with the personalised and caring service my dad receives and with the excellent levels of communication, so although my brother and I both live a long way from Dad we are kept up to date with things that are issues for him so that we can respond and improve his day to day life.
I have just been to stay with Dad and found a clean and well-kept house, and a happy and well-fed Dad, both thanks to the lovely carers he has visiting him every day! Dealing with company bureaucracy can be so tiring but this is never the case with Home Instead, one call, phone is answered by a friendly person (often someone we already know) and the request dealt with speedily, efficiently and with Dad's best interests at heart. We would recommend the service with no reservations.

Although I never met my Auntie's Carers, I felt I knew them as she always talked about them, how nice and friendly they were and she always looked forward to seeing them. She certainly enjoyed her weekly bath. We are all very grateful for the care and support given to my Auntie and I know she was very
appreciative too.

They were a huge support to me when my mother had a terrible fall at home.

Home Instead has been an excellent provider of care for my dad and, prior to her admission to a care home, my mum too. The care staff have always been caring and compassionate, especially at the start when my parents had to get used to the transition from independence, to needing some help. Everyone
I have dealt with in the office has been excellent. Always very friendly and helpful and my sister and I have a good rapport with them. Recently when my mum passed away, they went the extra mile to ensure that not just my Dad, but also my sister and I had support when needed. Thank you to everyone at Home Instead. Finally a special mention for one member of staff, in particular, who is so helpful and so lovely to deal with and has really helped my dad through a difficult time.

Dear Alan,

Home Instead (Bath) care givers have been visiting daily for over a year, initially once a day and more recently twice a day. They have all been professional, adaptable, patient, understanding and extremely caring. Communication via the paper forms was thorough, prompt and this has continued via the
online system. If any problem or worry occurred, the care givers contacted us quickly through the office. The office staff have also been great, efficient, supportive, caring and adaptable. All in all Home Instead (Bath) are a great team.
Thank you.

Review from Denise H (Client) published on 11 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Home Instead have been looking after my mother since she came out of hospital in May. As Mum was discharged from hospital with no care package in place, I contacted Home Instead who were absolutely brilliant and very quickly had arranged three visits a day, seven days a week which took all the stress
away from the family. The caregivers were such lovely ladies who brought a ray of sunshine into Mum’s life and she looked forward to their visits.
I was impressed with the professionalism and dedication of everyone at Home Instead and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family.

Thank you Denise for your kind review. It is always good to hear that clients and their families are happy with our service and especially that we have got the matching of CAREGivers right.

Review from Julie (Client) published on 21 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been using Home Instead for six years now and will continue to do so for as long as I am able. With four visits a day, seven days a week involving everything from personal-care to cooking they enrich my life and cannot do enough for me. During this very difficult time of COVID-19, when I was
unwell with an unrelated illness they have shown how adaptable the caregivers can be as sleepovers were arranged urgently. When I have faced obstacles from local services, they have fought my corner looking at what is best for me and my condition. Their vigilance in checking for skin integrity has ensured that any changes are flagged up immediately thereby eliminating a need to be hospitalised. I feel very blessed that I am supported by such excellent caregivers and office staff and I would like to thank them all for continuing to care for me as key workers who are putting their lives at risk every day during this pandemic.
Reply from Nick Yeatman, Owner at Home Instead (Bath)

It is and has been a pleasure to support you for the last six years and we will continue to do everything to help you in any way we can. Thank you, Julie, for your review, I will make sure it is shared with all those in your great team.

Review from Theresa D (Daughter of Client) published on 7 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had previous experience of care agencies when arranging a care package for my father some 5-years previously, and as a family, we were clear we did not have a positive experience. We were recommended Home Instead when my mother needed a care package, and the experience could not have been more
different.
We were introduced to the carers who would be involved in visits, and communication with both office and care staff was always positive and helpful. The care providers were consistent and completely reliable. I can honestly say, there were no occasions when carers failed to turn up, nor any lateness.
The interactions between the carers and my mother were always kind and patient, and she looked forward to the carers visiting and their conversations.
I also appreciated the communication with individual carers when they visited and had immediate concerns.
I am completely confident in recommending Home Instead.
Reply from Alison Yeatman, Director at Home Instead (Bath)

Thank you very much for your review, Theresa. I know how much our Caregivers enjoyed supporting your mother and how much they will appreciate your feedback.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After having had a not so good experience with a care agency looking after my Mother who has Dementia, Home Instead was recommended to us and it was the best decision we could have made. The service is second to none, the carers and office staff all do an amazing job.
The carers all cared for my Mother
with the greatest of respect and dignity, she felt safe and comfortable with their presence in her home.
We as a family were consulted about any worries and kept informed on a very regular basis.
It was a huge comfort to know my Mother was in such safe professional hands. As her Dementia progressed Home Instead were able to give her more hours of care a day with very little notice. My Mother’s wish was to stay in her own home for as long as possible and thanks to Home Instead she was able to do that before she eventually had to move to a dementia care home.
Thank you Home instead.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.869 for Home Instead (Bath) is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 183 Ratings = 4.869

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Bath) is based on 30 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
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
