We have been using Home Instead for mum's care since June 2019. Mum was allocated and introduced to a team of caregivers from the beginning although there have been a few changes to her team as her care needs have changed, she has now been settled with her team for some considerable time. Her caregivers
are all extremely professional and caring. They treat mum with respect and dignity at all times making her feel comfortable whatever the situation. They have all got to know mum and her little ways and what she likes and dislikes. As a family, we are extremely happy with the care and affection that mum receives. I would also like to thank all the office staff as they are always available to answer any questions I have and I am always kept informed of any slight changes that may occur.
While the cost may be a little more expensive than some other homecare agencies I am a great believer in you get what you pay for and we are happy in knowing mum is in good and caring hands from all her team.

We have been using Home Instead since 2017, when my father had a heart attack and his health deteriorated. The admin staff and carers have always been kind, helpful and professional. I would happily recommend them to everyone.

Each week there is a cheerful greeting followed by the latest news, then it is down to business, mainly exercises followed by a cup of tea.
Each time the client is treated with dignity, even the goodbyes.

Care and support is of a high standard. All the people attending my aunt, show care and consideration at all times. She refers to them as friends, not carers.

Home Instead carers look after my father twice a day. He is not an easy man to care for, but the girls are admirable in the way they look after him and care for him. I can rest easy knowing he is in safe hands, and he is happy.

I have been receiving a companionship service with a wonderful carer for the last two years. She takes me shopping and to my various hospital appointments.
Unfortunately, in spite of my numerous phone calls to the office and meetings with her team leader, I have still not been introduced to a backup
carer to cover holidays and sick leave. On a couple of occasions, I have been unable to go out as no other carers were available.

There are regular home visits by management to check that everything is running smoothly.
We are satisfied with the service.

All of the care my father has received has been excellent. All of the carers are conscientious and compassionate. They are friendly and approachable and treat my parents with respect. They point out any health concerns and suggest possible aids to assist my father.
The only improvement would be to
know who is coming in advance.

Home Instead provides a reassuring professional service. They communicate very well and will always call to advise of slight delays on visit times but these calls are very infrequent. Overall a very high standard of service.

My Mum has been using Home Instead for the past couple of years and I have found them to be professional and personable in their care for her. After her hip revision operation when she needed extra support we could trust the carers would attend 3 x daily to administer medication and ensure that she
was eating and drinking and overseeing her recovery from the procedure.

I have nothing but praise for Home Instead as a company. The carers are excellent, dedicated and punctual and always willing to go the extra mile. Mum was assigned two careworkers who became more like friends. The office staff were also very efficient, keeping me updated about any changes regarding
Mum's welfare etc.

My mother is very happy with the care she has received. She fully appreciates the caregiver's hard work and commitment. She absolutely loves her carer who is organised, very supportive and very much attention to detail. In my opinion, this is the best I have seen my Mum. Clean, fresh and well cared
for in a long time.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.821 for Home Instead (Luton & Central Beds) is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 78 Ratings = 4.821

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Luton & Central Beds) is based on 13 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.
