The carers that visit mum at home have built a rapport with her. She enjoys their visits and company. We have never found one member of staff that we haven't liked!

Home Instead is very thorough, efficient and caring. My husband gets on very well with his carers who are respectful and caring. Home Instead researched his needs very well before introducing him to his carers, unlike some agencies who simply send someone.

My companion for 2 hours is always punctual and recently we have been to a nursery. I enjoy playing dominoes with her/him and we have coffee. My carer helped me choose a special anniversary card for my wife and a potted plant. She is kind thoughtful and caring.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has Alzheimer's and often wanders at night. He regards his Home Instead Caregiver as a friend and they get on very well. Being able to leave him overnight with someone so trustworthy and reliable gives me a weekly break and together with the support from the family enables me to continue
working two days a week. This combines to make me a far better carer when it's my turn.

The caregivers do a very good job and take the trouble to get to know the client especially those with dementia. The management is not responsive and often make changes without proper discussion with caregivers and clients. This issue has been twice rated as "requires improvement" by the CQC.

On the whole, I am very satisfied with Home Instead Senior Care (Luton & Central Beds). However, although the majority of staff are excellent. I have had one or two who are very satisfactory. Complaints against them can be ignored.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was against having carers come to me, but agreed to it as my family was concerned about me and wanted me to have someone to call in to check I am OK.


I have to be honest and say the carers and senior staff I have met are very friendly and really nice, helpful people. When I need a little help,

they are always willing to do what is needed. I also still manage most things alone.

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:

  1. 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 available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    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
  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.
