Review from Jackie W (Daughter of Client) published on 8 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Home Instead at Coney Hall were recommended to me by a friend in the area when I was looking for carers for my mum who had dementia. From the first visit to assess Mum's needs, to the last visit earlier this year when Mum had to go into a care home, we all as a family received caring and professional help and support. I would not hesitate to recommend the team in Coney Hall.

We so appreciate you taking the time to write such a lovely review, thank you. We always work hard to provide help and support for family members as well as for our clients and I am so pleased to hear that you experienced this. I know that the team very much enjoyed working together with you and your mum to ensure the care was perfect for her. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Our whole experience with Home Instead (Bromley, Chislehurst and Orpington) has been excellent. From the start, the meeting with the managers to decide on a care plan was easy, pleasant and reassuring. My dad had been reluctant to have carers but the managers were so kind and friendly and really took the time to listen to him and get to know him. The carers are so helpful and my dad enjoys their visits. I’m able to look at the carers’ notes each day which gives me great reassurance. Having the carers come in each day has given my dad a routine, has got him eating and drinking well and he’s been so much healthier since the carers have been coming. Best of all they have given him company and friendship. The help around the house has also been a big help. I thoroughly recommend Home Instead (Bromley, Chislehurst and Orpington).

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

Thank you for your lovely review. Often encouraging loved ones to accept care can be difficult and it's really heartwarming to hear that although your dad was unsure about the idea, the pleasant approach of our team encouraged him to give it a try. We know that outstanding care happens when kind,...

Overall Experience

My aunt has told me that she finds Home Instead (Bromley, Chislehurst and Orpington) is genuinely caring and she is becoming fond of her small team of carers. They are always punctual and she values the fact that they all respect her as an individual, in spite of her frailty and dependence on them for all her daily needs. As next of kin, my aunt's confidence in Home Instead (Bromley, Chislehurst and Orpington) gives me welcome peace of mind and whenever I have had any queries, I have found them caring and very responsive towards me as well, helping me navigate the sometimes complicated care service landscape locally.

Overall Experience
We have been using Home Instead Bromley since March 2023, since my parents (94 and 92) were discharged from different hospitals on the same day, following each having suffered separate falls at home. Initially, both required both day and night care, and both had had bad experiences with care packages set up by the local authority.

From the outset, the Home Instead care team have worked with us, who are my parents, and their conduct and approach have been professional, but most of all, caring. They have restored our faith as a family in what a care team should be like. The low benchmark of the care provided through the local authority contracted care meant that when we started this process with Home Instead, my expectations were not that high, but I am pleased that they have been greatly exceeded. Nothing is too much, and they bend over backwards to work with us and with my parents. They are the perfect example of care as it should be provided, and have worked tirelessly to maintain my parent's dignity.

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

What a wonderful review. Thank you so much. It was awful to hear of the poor care your parents had received from other providers, and I am so pleased that we have been able to restore your faith in care and show you how fantastic and outstanding care is.

Since my mother’s care package was initiated in September 2022 I can confirm that the service organised and provided has been nothing but professional, friendly and informative. Good liaison has been maintained between the care provider and our family, keeping everyone in the loop, which is obviously paramount! My mother is extremely satisfied with the carers who are polite, friendly, cooperative and helpful. I am extremely relieved to have such a professional company involved and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Home Instead to anyone.

My father has been having personal care from Home Instead for the last year. This enables my mother to have some time to herself as my father has dementia and poor mobility.
He always has the same two carers, which is reassuring, and the consistency is good for my father's condition. The carers are punctual and personable.

As a family, we are very pleased with Home Instead.

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

What a lovely review. Thank you. It is really important that family members who become main carers to a loved one are able to take a break and recharge their batteries, and I am so pleased that the care we provide to your father enables your mother to do just that. It's also great that your father enjoys the care and companionship of his lovely care professionals and is relaxed and happy.

Overall Experience
The service of the carer provision was set up very promptly last year. Then six months later, we were able to expand the service with an additional slot and a carer was found very quickly as my mother needed additional support. The carers get on very well with my mother, so are clearly well-selected. They are able to do her shopping and some chores, and she enjoys having time with them to have a chat. They are very kind to her, and she feels safe with them, which is important. The company was able to adapt the service when my mother was recently hospitalised.
Thank you to all in the team.

Our family really appreciate your quality of services.

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

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a lovely review of the care we are providing to your mother. It's great that we have been able to alter the care to meet your mother's changing needs and also when she was hospitalised. We were all delighted to hear of her discharge from the hospital and look forward to supporting her recovery.

My father and I are very thankful for the care shown to my mother, who suffers from dementia and requires full hands-on personal care. She is completely immobile and unable to converse but responds by joining in their singing of old-time musical favourites and nursery rhymes, which keeps her calm. All the team treat her with care and kindness. We have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead for looking after your loved ones.

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

Thank you for your lovely review of the care we provide to your mother. I am so pleased you and your father are happy with the support. We love hearing from our care professionals about the different approaches they take to support your mother in a way that she will enjoy, and that will engage and relax her. It's great that your mother is also benefitting from our new nail care service.

Totally professional, prompt and very caring service. From my very first phone enquiry, I was provided with loads of helpful and relevant information to enable me to confidently set up a care plan for my elderly parents.

My parents were both very happy with the care they received, and I would definitely recommend Home Instead as a care provider.

Home Instead care for my 92-year-old father, who has Alzheimer's.
The care professionals that visit Dad are fantastic with Dad, and whenever I come back to the house, Dad is smiling and chatting with them.
The care professionals are punctual and polite and always ask if they can help me with anything.
The office staff at Home Instead made me feel reassured throughout the whole process of setting up the care.
Knowing that the same carers come on certain days is great for Dad too.

I would recommend Home Instead to everyone looking for care for relatives.

The carers were professional, kind, caring, respectful, punctual and always reliable. My mother so looked forward to their daily visits, as they gave her dignity and friendship. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I had peace of mind knowing that my mother was being cared for by such happy, caring, attentive and reliable carers. I was always informed if the carer was detained/late or couldn't attend and always sent another carer (whom Mum knew) on time. Management was very approachable, friendly and helpful and always available. I would fully recommend Home Instead.

I cannot express how grateful we are as a family, to the wonderful carers, who have been so amazing with my elderly father who has Alzheimer’s.
Obviously, choosing the right care providers for loved ones is so important, and everyone who my Father has had has been, kind, gentle empathetic, honest and caring and they are all angels in our eyes. I like the fact they all take the time to find out initially about Dad’s interests and they try to match carers to the client.
They are adaptable, and treat Dad with nothing but respect, dignity and kindness and we would have no problem recommending Home Instead to other families. We were recommended ourselves and have not regretted anything.
We recently attended a fantastic Home Instead jubilee party which was so lovely and the drinks and sandwiches were complimentary as was the singer. Such a lovely touch.

Dad is moving nearer to me but I will be transferring his care to a Home Instead near me. Thank you to everyone.

We cannot praise Home Instead highly enough. Last year was a very difficult time for us (as for many) not only coping with the Covid situation but also my husband was diagnosed with mixed dementia or the Alzheimer's and Vascular types. So in June last year we contacted Home Instead for help. They quickly put in motion a 'live in' carer. and other care givers three times a day. They soon proved what a caring and compassionate company they are. They certainly have taken a lot of stress and worry off my shoulders and that of our son and daughter.
