Overall Experience

The care provided by the team at Home Instead has enabled my dad to stay in his home with dignity. Dad has improved immeasurably with his social skills since he has been cared for on a daily basis by the team.

Overall Experience
We have been using Home Instead Bromley for over a year. The care and support they have provided is excellent.
The fact the carers are matched to the person means my mum has found things in common with her carers which has made such a difference.

Everyone has been very kind and supportive from office staff to care provided in the home. They are always willing to accommodate changes in schedules. They listen to us if we have any queries.

Overall Experience

Mum and Dad have had a live-in carer for the last 6 weeks. We could not have asked for anyone better as she matched their needs perfectly. It has been a weight off my mind to see how well they are cared for and how well they all interact. Lots of laughter! The whole team have been easy to deal with; both professional and efficient yet also empathetic. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Overall Experience

The staff go above and beyond in the care they provid, including calling an ambulance when my father had a medical emergency and staying with him for reassurance until the crew were ready to take him to hospital. The support they give me when he has bouts of illness is invaluable. I live several hours travel away, so knowing he is so well looked after is really important.

We have been using this service for over a year and I can say it's the best service we have ever had. The team from the carers to the management team are amazing and so professional my mum's carers are the kindest ladies we have ever met and if I could give them more stars I would.

Thank you, Home Instead.

The carer chosen to care for my elderly father by Home Instead has been perfectly matched with his personality and needs. He is extremely happy with her and it is lovely to see him chatting away to her. The whole team are extremely helpful and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience

Home Instead have provided excellent care for my 94-year-old dad who has Dementia since February. With their support and care, we can work together to keep Dad in his flat with some independence. The carers are very experienced and flexible when extra help is needed. Any concerns they have are communicated quickly and clearly. One carer makes Dad fresh fruit salad each time she visits, which he really likes.

Review from Judith S (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 11 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 97-year-old mother-in-law has two visits a day from a team of carers who all treat her with respect and kindness so she can live in dignity at home. She has the same group of carers so has got to know and like them. It is great there is not a quick staff turnover. our concerns are dealt with quickly and efficiently and Home Instead are responsive to requests.

We have regular catch-ups with the experienced coordinator who knows the family well.

Reply from Karina Brown, Director at Home Instead Bromley, Chislehurst & Orpington

Thank you for your review and kind words. One of the things that sets us apart is the continuity of care we provide to our clients meaning that they have a dedicated, very small team of care professionals who visit on set times and days. We never send a stranger and we take great care of our staff...

Overall Experience

My 85-year-old mother has a full-time live-in carer provided by Home Instead which has allowed her to remain living in her own home. We as a family have always found the care provided by the care professionals to be of a high standard and empathetic towards our mother's needs. The management team are well well-organised and very responsive to any issues that may arise. I would have no hesitation recommending Home Instead to anyone looking to put in place care for a loved one.

Overall Experience

The care provided by the Home Instead team has been exemplary. While initially retained to provide companionship to my elderly mother, their role evolved as her needs changed. As her needs increased so did the team's effort and dedication to ensure she was safe, comfortable and cared for. Initially, it took a little time for her to accept the new faces and their presence in her life but she quickly responded to their positive outlook, gentle powers of persuasion and sheer humanity. I can confirm that Home Instead deserve top marks across the board and I would heartily recommend their service to anyone.

Reply from Karina Brown, Director at Home Instead Bromley, Chislehurst & Orpington

Thank you for your kind words and 5* review of the care provided to your lovely mother. I remember our first phone call and your concern that your mum may initially be reluctant to have companionship support. However, it was great that she liked the care professionals and office team and very...

This has been a great help to me especially in the evening when dealing with my meal and dealing with changing my bedclothes. It has also been nice to have a conversation when I have probably not spoken to anyone all day and have been on my own.

Thank you for your 5* review. I love the thought of our care professionals offering you a lovely evening meal, ensuring you have all you need at the end of the day and sharing conversation with you and alleviating any loneliness of the day. I know how much they enjoy the time they spend with you too.

Overall Experience

I met with 3 different care companies and Home Instead was a clear choice for my friend. First of all both my friend and I find every member of staff kind and easy to talk to. They are easy to communicate with and flexible if I need extra help sometimes. They are always on time and carry out set tasks including spending time chatting with my friend which is so important to us. I cannot speak more highly of the Home Instead team, they have mastered the balance of professionalism and making it feel like a friend has come to visit perfectly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services.

Super impressed with the service. The carers allocated to my mum are perfect. They are punctual and do a great job, not only on the caring activities but also jobs around the house like bed changing, getting the washing on or hanging it out to dry etc. Mum has settled well with them and it has really helped me out knowing that she is well looked after and happy.
