Home Instead Bromley, Chislehurst & Orpington

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.

We are very happy with the service we are receiving. We know what time they will arrive in the morning and the help given is excellent. My husband is happy with all the ladies who come which is a great comfort to me. They also encourage him to have a little walk around the house to strengthen his legs.

All the team were kind and considerate and it made such a difference to us as a family to know that they were visiting.

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.

Home Instead have been providing care for my dad for three years now. I have nothing but praise for the team who coordinate the staffing and the staff themselves. Everybody is kind, friendly, reliable and professional. After a bad experience with another agency it has been great not to have to worry at all about the care being provided. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Home Instead Beckenham has been looking after my mum for the last 3 and a half years. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't like to be by herself. She has carers several days a week for companionship. The caregivers are nice, helpful, professional and very sympathetic to my mum, who always looks forward to her carers coming. Since Covid, the Home Instead carers have been an absolute godsend, as without them, my mum would have been all alone, which would have been devastating and detrimental for her as she needs the stimulation of seeing people. On the few occasions when my mum has needed extra support, Home Instead has been very helpful and has acted quickly. It is very easy to get in touch with the Home Instead office, and they are all so helpful. I would definitely recommend Home Instead.

The carers are so friendly, caring and helpful and have enabled us to deal with a difficult situation in a way that we are all extremely happy with. We highly recommend them!

Can’t recommend them highly enough, only wish we could have used their help for a longer period, as it is so much more friendly and tailored to the client's needs than even the best care home. They took such care in talking to our cousin and finding out what she wanted. Although initially very resistant, our cousin was very soon really looking forward to her carer's visits.

I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead.

I would have no hesitation recommending them to others.

After a few days of social services carers in December, my mother wasn't happy about having carers but seems to have enjoyed the support from the 2 Home Instead carers. They are flexible, pleasant and helpful.

Home Instead have provided us with excellent support over the last four and a half years. As my wife’s health deteriorated, the support has grown and most recently was at the level of 9.30am to 9.30pm, 7 days a week. Throughout the four and a half years, all carers have been professional, warm and friendly and willing to try whatever my wife (with Parkinson’s – physical and dementia deterioration) would like to do. Until her health sharply deteriorated recently, they have taken my wife out for trips to the shops and local gardening centres, taken her to a Tai Chi class once a week, done gardening with her, puzzles etc. They thus provided her with the social interaction and physical exercise recommended by the NHS. They have also taken care of her medication and personal care needs. These care levels were maintained through two years of Covid restrictions. We have felt that we could relax and trust our carers completely and we thank Home Instead for choosing such able carers tailored to our particular needs.

My mum has been with Home Instead for nearly a year, and Home Instead took great care in placing the right carer with my mum. As a family, we really appreciate the excellent support they provide for my mum. We originally put in the care as companionship and basic help for my mum on the days when I am not able to visit. She really looks forward to their visits, as her carers are so friendly, cheerful and efficient, and nothing is too much trouble. We have also used their services when we have gone on holiday to ensure my mum has a carer every day, and it gives me such peace of mind to go away knowing that she has a friendly face visiting each day. The office staff are always so helpful too I cannot praise highly enough the service that we have received. Thank you Home Instead.

From the moment Home Instead took on the care of my mum I could see she was in good hands. The caregivers were always kind, considerate and respectful. They made a real effort to get to know Mum know her likes and dislikes and really bonded with her. Home Instead staff were always punctual for visits and well organised. The office staff were always helpful and supportive. I was very happy that Home Instead cared for my mum and would definitely recommend them.

Home Instead have been excellent at providing me with outstanding care. The Caregivers are really good and there isn't anything that they won't do for me. They are just brilliant.

My father was given excellent care from Home Instead, enabling him to remain living at home safely for as long as possible before moving away from his home town to a care home near family. We, his family, are extremely grateful that his time in the company and care of his beloved wife was extended. The Home Instead team took time to get to know Dad - and Mum - to ensure his carers were a good fit and I commend the company and the carers for their attention to detail, responsiveness and compassion.

Home Instead have coped superbly with our varied and often demanding needs. Their staff have all been carefully chosen. They offer kindness, practical help and cheerful companionship which helps to brighten our declining years. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I have had over one full year of being supported at home by Home Instead. My medical condition has varied at times so I have had 3 visits a day at times (most of the time) with an overnight carer when needed. Every carer who has come to me has been kind, considerate, thoughtful and willing to do a very wide variety of tasks around the home and garden. They have made it possible for me to reorganise my house effectively and it is cleaner then it has ever been. Wonderful caring people.

I do not know how we would have managed without The Home Instead team. My brother and I live overseas, coupled with the pandemic travel restrictions, which has meant finding reliable, quality care was even more essential for our parents as they wished to continue to live independently whilst developing some support needs. The first call I made to the team was friendly, helpful and reassuring that Home Instead could meet our specific asks. From then on, Mum and Dad’s assigned carer was consistently reliable, kind, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, patient and caring. Mum and Dad have been known to be a tough crowd with unfamiliar people, however, their carer rapidly built their trust and friendship and they looked forward to her visits. Sadly, our father passed away recently - the support that Mum's carer has provided to Mum during this time has been incredible, absolutely above and beyond expectations, including brilliant communication with us. Thank you for all you do, you are magic!
