Overall Experience

My overall experience of using the service provided has been exceedingly good. The office staff and supervisor has been attentive and carried out adequate visits and reviews. The work is of a high standard and meets our needs at the moment. We have discovered possible extension for the future and pleased that a degree of flexibility in meeting future needs is possible.

Overall Experience
Home Instead Carers provided much needed respite for family when mum's care levels increased at the sad time of end of life period. Her Carers stepped up to the mark and delivered a service second to none, for which the family are eternally grateful.

Professional and well trained, the confidence shines through and the staff are a credit to the company. I can't recommend them highly enough, including the office staff who did their utmost to ensure we had the support we needed. Thank you.

Overall Experience
I was recommended to this agency by my sister who also uses it in another location and who was very pleased indeed with it.
I have found both management and staff to be very pleasant and helpful in all ways.
I look forward to seeing my helper once a fortnight who works very efficiently and with a very pleasing manner.

If I should require further help I would not hesitate to ask.

Overall Experience
We were well matched with two care givers whom we met before the respite care term started.

The care my husband received was excellent. The carers always arrived punctually and their level of experience and professionalism impressive.

Overall Experience
The consistency of carer is one of the many positives about my mum's service. Her carer is kind, tolerant and happy to follow mums wishes as to what is done on a daily basis.

The management are helpful and there are additional greatly appreciated gestures e.g Easter Egg given at Easter and flowers for a special birthday. I am always consulted about additional bank holiday fees as I am the bill payer and main carer.

Overall Experience
Home Instead enabled us to keep mum living independently at home for many months more than I could ever have hoped for. The Caregivers are angels on earth and have become good friends to mum.
They have ensured she has remained safe, healthy and happy, they have brought great peace of mind to me, my brother and sister.
Without the support of Home Instead mum would have been vulnerable and a danger to herself and others.

Thank you.
