From the first meeting with my parents and Home Instead to discuss a care plan they made my parents feel safe and trusting. Their support during my father's decline and death was faultless, enabling Dad to be at home at the end as was his wish. We could not have done it without them. The caregivers...
The office provides excellent out of hours support for emergencies. The app is fantastic allowing us to check on how my mother is and what she's doing. They are proactive about her care, identifying medical concerns to enable prompt attention to issues far quicker than my mother or we would. It is reassuring to know someone is there every day for her when we cannot be and we know we can trust them completely. They were recommended to us by a good friend but if you don't have a personal recommendation, I hope this one helps you.

Home Instead have provided outstanding care for my mum (82 living with Dementia with Lewy Bodies) allowing her to remain independent in her own home. The carers really do care and they are well trained and informed, the management team are organised, efficient and approachable and not afraid to roll up their sleeves when they need to! They have been flexible as the need for care has increased and worked with me now the time has come to move mum to residential care to ensure the smoothest transition. They use an excellent app where the carers log the activities from their visit so there is continuity from one carer to the next and the family can also see what the day has held. They are not the cheapest care provider but you really do get what you pay for, I believe they are the Gold Standard of care.
Thank you for the care you organised for me; it takes a big burden off my wife. I find it very relaxing and helpful, particularly able to talk to you on the phone.

Hello, I’m Victoria, the owner of Home Instead Senior Care in Epping.
I passionately believe in the Home Instead mission to change the face of ageing. I have seen firsthand how Home Instead can make a real difference to people’s lives in their own homes, as well as providing employment opportunities for the local community.
I am very proud of the team I have built in Epping over the last 12 years. My office team and Care Professionals are committed to ensuring our clients get the best possible care and that each of them contributes to making a positive difference in the lives of their clients.

My team and I are responsible for seeing new prospective clients, signing up new clients and following them through the first few weeks with Home Instead. We ensure these clients are matched with suitable Care Professionals, liaise with the Care Professionals to ensure they are fully briefed on these clients and then carry out the first reviews with these clients to make sure all is going well and as they expected.
I really enjoy working for Home Instead. We are a team. I love making a difference to the lives of our clients, and I have seen at first-hand how enabling people to stay living in their own homes really does make a difference to their lives. Each client testimonial we receive just reinforces this and makes me so proud.
