Review from Richard M (Son of Client) published on 24 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Home Instead (Dudley and Sandwell South) have been involved in the overall care package for my Dad for 18 months now. In April 2020 he sustained a serious hip fracture and convalesced and recovered with myself and my wife for several months, before returning to sheltered accommodation at home. This was a difficult time for all concerned due to Dad's age and past medical history. Thanks to Home Instead (Dudley and Sandwell South) he is now living independently and receives a package of care from Home Instead (Dudley and Sandwell South) carers and the team that supports them. Carers are attentive, patient centred and it is never a problem to raise any issue, of which there are remarkably few, with the back office team. The whole team are to be congratulated on their caring and attentive approach and have actually given my Dad his independence back, even though he has just turned ninety! Keep up the good work guys.

Overall Experience

My mother was provided with companionship service, right up until her untimely passing in January 2021. She was always treated with the utmost care and respect, and looked forward to the visits each day. I cannot thank the carers enough for the way that they looked after Mom in what turned out to be her last few months - an excellent service!

Overall Experience

Following a detailed introduction meeting, well-matched carers provided personalised care. Carers were always reliable, thorough, friendly and treated Mom with dignity. She looked forward to their visits and enjoyed their company. With the support of Home Instead, she was able to stay in her own home for many years longer. She was happy and content. We are so pleased with the service that we have recommended Home Instead to may other people.

I would like to thank the three ladies for the wonderful care they took to look after my Aunty. It was very difficult at first but persistence paid off. They went out of their way to look after and she speaks of them fondly. I would also like to thank the office staff for being polite and courteous at all times.

Once again thank you all and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

From my first contact with Home Instead, the whole process of transferring my father's care to them went seamlessly. Office staff, management and especially the caregivers ensured Dad received excellent care. If it were not for my father's deteriorating health, they would have remained part of his 'extended family' as this is how we saw them.

Thank you all for your kind, caring services to my uncle as his health deteriorated over 2 years. His dearest wish was to remain in his own home which he loved and your support made this possible even when he needed full support for all aspects of daily living. He was treated as an individual at all times and his wishes were respected. His carers became friends who cheered him up when life seemed difficult for him. Communication from carers to the office and to myself was excellent and responsive to sudden changes.

Thank you and well done from all our family.

My mum has just died peacefully aged 94 after a short illness.

For the last 4 years, she has been loved and cared for by a wonderful team from Home Instead. Despite mobility issues and slight dementia, she was able to stay in the home she loved surrounded by all her familiar fixtures and fittings until the last week of her life thus enabling her to achieve her greatest wish. Thank you to everyone at Home Instead for allowing me to be mum's daughter whilst you provided superb care.

The care given by staff are always professional and answer any questions in a timely and thorough manner. Always selected compatible caregivers and always able to listen and give good advise.

The caregivers were all caring, considerate and friendly and always advising us on any issues or problems and know how to deal with them. Very dependable staff who never let my mother down on any occasion.

All of the staff are extremely friendly and professional. They take their time to talk to both my dad and mum. No job is too much. Where staff always perform to high standards, having Home Instead Carers has made a huge and positive impact on my parents' lives. Dad looks so much healthier and mum is so much happier and more relaxed. Thank you to all involved.

Very pleased with service.

Observation of mum's demeanour - "quiet" "not her normal self" shows particular observation and care.
Seem to have good office support.

Overall Experience

After 40 years of nursing latterly as a community matron, I have experienced many different home care agencies. Some good, some not so. When my Father-in-Law needed support to enable him to be safe at home and coping with memory loss, Home Instead was recommended to me. My Father-in-Law has found the care given very supportive, friendly and understanding. It is tailored to his individual needs and just 2-3 carers visit him to ensure continuity. We live 30 miles away but feel confident if any problems arise Home Instead will contact us promptly. Home Instead is the best home care agency I have encountered.

Overall Experience

At short notice, Home Instead was able to supply a carer to help me after having a mastectomy. I met the carer before the operation and so knew who to expect when I was discharged. She was always willing to help me with any jobs that I found difficult and or painful. As we were so well matched, we were able to have interesting conversations which helped to take my mind off the pain.

The Dudley (Netherton) service is outstanding and excellent in every respect, from the quality and character of the caregivers through to the office staff and management. The only reason for ending the service was mum's need for 24-hour care. I wish she was still being looked after by these wonderful people.

Hello, I'm Marie

I'm the Care Manager here at Home Instead, but like everyone else, I began my career here as a CAREGiver. I knew very little about the care sector when I came to work here, but I knew it was an area I wanted to learn more about as I intended to go back to University to become a Social Worker. However, like almost everyone who works here, I found that I loved this type of work, what Home Instead stands for, it's ethos and quality of care delivered, so I stayed. My previous job was as Customer Services Manager at Dudley Zoo, so I know what it takes to deliver a great customer experience and have brought these skills to my current position.

I'm very proud of Home Instead and the work we do and, as Care Manager, I am responsible for all of the day to day activities and to make sure the office runs smoothly. The quality of the care delivered by our CAREGivers is extremely important to me and I refuse to let anyone 'rest on their laurels' as I am always looking for ways to continually improve our service.

In my spare time, I spend time with my husband, family and friends. I also enjoy reading, craft activities and learning how to better use technology. I am also known for my unhealthy obsession with stationery!

Hello, I'm Julie

I am one of the owners of Home Instead Dudley & Sandwell South. In the beginning, I did whatever needed doing - and to some extent, still do - however, my main responsibilities these days are compliance, planning and overall business development.

I am so proud of everything we have achieved so far at Home Instead and I am looking forward to continuing to grow without compromising the quailty of care we deliver. Our strap line on the company logo is 'To us, it's personal' this embodies how I feel about the company; looking after someone else's family member is incredibly personal, and we instil this in our staff from the very beginning.

When I trained and qualified as a nurse, care of the patient was very much our focus; over the years, this changed and it became more about targets and paperwork, so I left. I re-trained as a teacher and taught Health & Social Care in a local secondary school. When the focus of this job became about the results the children achieved, rather than the children themselves, I left there too. Now I am working in a environment where we get to make the decisions of how we operate as a company, I can promise you that our clients and our staff will always be the main focus of Home Instead.

In my spare time I enjoy anything craft-related, reading, jigsaws, recording our family memories for our grandson, and spending time with him and the rest of my family and friends. Like Marie, I, too have an unhealthy obsession with stationery and a bit of a Netflix dependency!

I love that this is a family-run business, and I love the family-feel we have created. Why not give us a call and let my family help you support yours?

Hello, I'm Ian.

I'm one of the owners here at Home Instead Dudley and my main responsibilities are all things financial and I also am actively involved in the initial training and education of our CAREGivers. I feel that it's very important that I am involved at this early stage of our CAREGiver's journey, as I want to make sure that the people we employ have the same values as we do. We can teach them to do the job, but we can't teach them to be kind and caring - that's who they are. I have to be happy that I would send them to look after members of my own family before they look after you or your family. Julie and I take the responsibility of owning a Home Instead Franchise very seriously and the quality of the service we provide is hugely personal to us both. We understand how difficult it can be letting someone else care for yourself or your loved ones, and through our relationship-led care, we hope to earn your trust and become part of your life.

I am a family man first and foremost and spend huge amounts of any free time with our daughters, son-in-law and grandson. However, I am also a lifelong Wolves supporter, avid horse racing (non-betting) fan and resident dad-joke teller. I am told that I have modelled my 'act' on Eric Morecambe's piano playing! All the right jokes, not necessarily in the right order - there's a reference for people over a certain age!
