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.

Review from P Y (Son of Client) published on 31 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
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.

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.

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

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.

Mum has been lucky enough to have long relationships with the team of care professionals from Home Instead. One of the team has looked after her for more than 8 years. These relationships and the care that she receives from Home Instead are crucial in her life. Her carers keep her sense of self alive, they bring her fun and happiness and they look after her physical needs and provide safety. Their support is vital to her.

I have been agreeably surprised by the help I have received. Always a smile, my helpers have become friends. Somewhat scared at the thought of sharing intimate details of my life with a stranger, the feeling soon passed. I now look forward to seeing them and miss them when they change or cannot make it. But everyone has been friendly and helpful. Moreover, they are always on time which in itself is good to know. The staff in the office are always there to help. Thank you Home Instead.

My dealings with this company have always been a joy. From the first call to book the initial assessment of my father's needs. The carers and the lady in accounts, every single one of the staff have been thoughtful, kind, polite and efficient. I understand they are in the care industry but they genuinely care about their work and the service they provide.

The care provided for my parents by Home Instead has been excellent. They feel supported and so do I. The management have been flexible, putting in extra sessions as needed and the carers excellent.
My parents feel a real bond with their carers who, they are delighted to see, treat their home as carefully as they would their own. They go out of their way to accommodate their needs and wishes and frequently above and beyond what is necessary.

Very satisfied!

The professional care given continues to give a very high level of care in cleansing my body, activating my mind and encouraging me to be a better person than I can be despite aches and pains and skin eruptions. When needed district nurses and doctors are approached. I still wish to be mobile and active but mostly content to be driven around by my caring, loving and professional caregiver.
