Home Instead (Cowbridge, Pontyclun & Pontypridd)

They were professional, caring and really took an interest in my mother-in-law. I would definitely use the service again, and I would also recommend it to others. As a family, we are very grateful for all the support we have received.

I've had an extremely positive experience with both the office team and carers who my mother is very fond of and looks forward to her daily visits. They are responsive in a timely manner and go the extra step on a personal front. I would have no concerns recommending them to anyone I know who would be in such need - and that's saying a lot when you think about how important this service is. Thanks team!!!

Over the past seven years, Home Instead supported by father brilliantly. We started slowly because dad didn't think he was ready for too much help, and the team handled that transition with real care and patience. Over time, as dads needs became more complex they provided a consistent team who provided near-on wrap around care for Dad. They didn't just support my dad - they supported all the family, and genuinely felt like part of our family. The carers worked really well as a team: kind, generous, and thoughtful, taking the time to properly get to know my dad and us all. It was all managed superbly by Jen, who kept us informed and consistently went the extra mile. Due to the excellent Home Instead team, we were able to keep dad at home throughout his latter years - which is what he already.

Jen Wright and her team cared for my father for over 7 years and gave him kindness, help and dignity every step of his journey. The whole team are top - notch; reliable, kind and flexible. They went the extra mile for my father as he faced a very difficult illness, always in a highly personalised and professional way. We are incredibly grateful to Jen and her team for showing us what the best of the care profession looks like. We highly recommend them.

I contacted Home instead after a recommendation from two friends. From the first phone call to the start of care the service was extremely professional, honest and reassuring. The care my mother receives is fantastic. Always on time, professional and very caring. The communication is great from the office and day to day care. My mother is very happy with the care and looks forward to her carer coming.

The care given to my mother was excellent. The carer was very kind, thoughtful and really understood Mum's needs. Even though my mother has dementia and becomes stressed with unfamiliar faces she was relaxed and happy during the visits.

We have had a great few months of support so far from Home Instead. The process of engaging was smooth and professional and we now feel supported as a family. All of the carers are helpful, flexible and willing to go the extra mile.

They are an excellent company and I would highly recommend them.

From my first contact with the manager from Home Instead I was very impressed. Suddenly becoming a carer for my mum and dad alongside balancing a career and home life was tough. I thought I could and should be doing it all. I soon realised I needed a break and reached out to Home Instead. She fully understood how I was feeling, battling with guilt for not being able to do it all. We talked through a solution based on what Home Instead could offer then arranged a meeting with my parents. The manager was lovely with them and instantly gained their trust and support. The carers started in January and we haven't looked back. The carer who cares for them regularly is like another daughter and they are so complimentary about her. another carer covers if their main carer if off and is equally wonderful. I am so delighted with how it is going. I now have some evenings back to recharge my batteries safe in the knowledge that when I'm not there to do evening meals, they are being well looked after.

Home Instead have been fantastic for my 97 year old father. From the very first phone call I felt comfortable and included in the decision making. They went out of their way to choose carers that were right for my father. The hours given were exactly what he asked for. The carers are brilliant and he likes them both very much. Not only have they vastly improved the life of my father, but also the lives of myself, brothers and sister. We know he is in good hands. I would recommend Home Instead without hesitation. They are fabulous!

Home Instead care professionals looked after my husband two days a week for 4/5 months before he went into a care home. They formed a very good relationship with him in spite of the difficulties his dementia presented and worked hard to stimulate him and keep him occupied including short trips in their cars. He felt confident enough in their company to enjoy these little outings. When I returned home my husband was happy and relaxed and it was obvious he had been well taken care of. The care professionals were reliable, always on time, and well-presented. The office staff were friendly and supportive and would offer advice if and when required.

We would highly recommend home instead as our mother could be a hard person to please and she never had any complaints just good things to say about the team.

This company is so proffessional and efficient. They have certainly changed our lives for the better in a time when we were struggling.

We have been using Home Instead for over a year and the service provided has been fantastic throughout. The carers are friendly, punctual and go above and beyond. My grandad and I have built up a great relationship with the team and my grandad enjoys having them in his day-to-day life. The team keep me up-to-date with regular updates and are very supportive and accommodating. Home instead, put my mind at ease, knowing that my grandad is taken care of professionally and caring, for those days I cannot visit him. I highly recommend Home Instead!

Home Instead have provided a professional and reliable service for the last twelve months. I live a considerable distance from my parent and without the support of Home Instead, they would have lost their independence. The daily visits provide not only my parent the care they need, but also as a family comfort in knowing someone is helping them each day, and will also bring to our attention any issues of concern. When changes in care needs are required we have always been supported by the carers and the management team. Importantly my parent looks forward to the carer's visits and do not see them as an intrusion but as an improvement in their standard of living at home and maintaining their independence. Thank you so much to the whole team at Home Instead, for looking after us so well.

This is an extremely professional team of care providers in every respect. My mother thoroughly enjoys the company of all the ladies who take her out to groups and also look after her house. My mother is always treated with the utmost respect and dignity. As a family, we have forged an excellent working relationship with all members of the team. Nothing is too much trouble.

We had only used Home Instead for three and a half months before my husband went into a care home but in all that time he was treated with care, compassion and dignity. All staff we encountered and carers were genuinely keen to do a good job and to help him maintain as much independence as he was able to whilst helping with what he couldn’t manage. The additional help provided around the home was also invaluable to me as was the genuine concern of staff for my health. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Home Instead company to anyone.

Home Instead have given my parents and I a professional, reliable service for the past 12 months and in spite of challenges faced post covid, have always made a great effort to support us wherever possible. Their team are friendly, approachable and adaptable, and have a great understanding of the difficulties involved, both with dementia and other health conditions. We would be lost without them. Their main carer has become invaluable, especially to Mum, and it's lovely to see the relationship they have built.

Home Instead was recommended to me by a friend when I was struggling to find Home Care for my parents-in-law. They weren't very willing to accept that they needed help, but, from the very first visit, the staff were able to put them at ease. All the staff are extremely helpful, respectful and caring. All team members are introduced to their clients by another team member before doing a solo visit. Home Instead always keeps me informed of any issues that might crop up when visiting my parents-in-law and they are happy for me to keep in touch with them too. We are then able to address any possible problems together. If there are any alterations to the schedule, due to circumstances beyond their control, my parents-in-law always receive a telephone call to update them of the problem. Home Instead have been visiting for the last 9 months and we don't know how any of us would have managed without them. Thank you to all the team at Home Instead.

I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for care for a loved one. The company continually meet and exceed expectations in all areas of care. The office staff and the carers are genuinely interested in their clients and understand their individual needs. The company is caring, professional and always compassionate and also very supportive with relatives. I cannot praise Home Instead enough for the care and peace of mind provided to my dad and our family. Highly recommend.
