I cannot recommend this service highly enough. My brother and I were struggling to find a solution to the day-to-day care requirements for our Mum. The staff were very professional and caring and enabled our mum to continue living in her own home for longer.

Friednly, reliable staff who supplied 1-week respite care. They listened to what Dad wanted help with and Dad enjoyed their company. I am currently seeing if Home Instead could care for Dad on a regular basis.
Reply from Cheryl Marr, Registered Manager at Home Instead (Luton & Central Beds)

Thanks for your review, it was lovely to support your father and enable his carer to have a break. We look forward to continuing to support him regularly.

We have used Home Instead carers for my Mum who has dementia for our 4-night respite breaks several times now and been very satisfied with the care she was given considering Mum can be very rude and awkward at times because of her condition, age and mobility!
Our most recent break this month and also
cover for a wedding we attended went extremely well and made it possible for us to enjoy the breaks knowing Mum was being looked after so well!
Reply from Cheryl Marr, Registered Manager at Home Instead (Luton & Central Beds)

Thank you so much for your positive review. We are pleased to hear our respite service allows you peace of mind to enjoy your much-needed breaks!

We were impressed with Home Instead staff. They always attended on time and were always friendly and courteous. Most importantly they remembered what was agreed to be done from the previous day. They provided care and 'Peace of Mind' for my wife as she was very worried as to how to deal with my care
since my hospital discharge last month.
Reply from Maria Collins, Director at Home Instead (Luton & Central Beds)

Thank you for your positive review and delighted that our care was appropriate for your needs and supported your wife during your post-op period.

Mum was with Home Instead for around six months, and during that time, the care she received was excellent. The team who supported her were caring and kind. They took time to get to know Mum, listen to her needs and chat with her about anything and everything Mum wanted to talk about. The little touches
they gave showed her dignity and their level of commitment was exceptional. The support they gave to me was also beyond anything I would have expected. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or see them again.

During my husband's 17 months with Home Instead, he was treated exceptionally well by his carers and looked forward to his weekly visits. He formed a great friendship with them. It was peace of mind for me knowing that I could go out for a few hours without worrying. In our time of need both the management
and carers were there to support us for which we are immensely grateful.

We had sitters for my mother who has Alzheimer's which at times was very challenging for them. They never got cross, they were very patient and caring towards her.

Excellent support had been given to my mother over the past couple of years. Any concerns were dealt with promptly and sensitively. Changes in the care package were promptly put in place.
Mum's care team were fantastic and Mum is now in a care home, but still talks about her wonderful team.

I found Home Instead (Luton & Central Beds) to be very good with her care for the last 18 months. She really enjoyed the company of the carers and they never let us down, always in attendance. I would recommend them to anyone who needs care at home. Unfortunately, my sister has a fractured hip and has
to go into respite care in a nursing home.
Reply from Maria Collins, Director at Home Instead (Luton & Central Beds)

Thank you for your positive review - we are pleased that your sister found our service reliable and she enjoyed the relationship she developed with her CAREGivers. We wish her well in her new home environment
