Our regular carer left, but we have been very pleased with the replacement carers. They are both kind and cheerful, which is especially important at the moment. They understand my mother’s needs, and will help with light housework, meal preparation or simply provide companionship. Their support makes
a massive difference to the mental well-being of my mother and stimulates her interest in what is going on in the wider community.

My mother's carer was a very highly experienced, retired, nursing sister, who cared for my mother with absolute kindness and respect. My mother is a very independent and usually physically outgoing person despite her age and physical limitations. Her need to retain dignity and independence continued
and was supported absolutely by the carer. I trust in the organisation's ethos and practice.

We are so delighted with Home Instead, Wrexham. My mother really did not want to have a carer call on her but from the moment she arrived, Mum was taken by her. She knows exactly how far to go in helping my fiercely independent 95 year old mum and understands the importance of building a relationship
of growing trust. From worrying about the prospect of a stranger fussing her, Mum has gone to looking forward to her every visit.
The entire set up has been extremely professional, with the organiser taking great care to understand my mother’s needs and to allocate the most suitable carer. We have been so relieved and pleased at how well it is working that we have requested to extend what was intended as respite care into a more permanent arrangement. All queries have been dealt with quickly and helpfully. We all feel as if Mum’s welfare and happiness really matter to the carer and the agency. I would recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for personal bespoke care.

Following my mother's stroke and subsequent confusion, we employed Home Instead to assist her upon discharge from hospital.
We all as a family have found Home Instead to be excellent and very supportive in all areas and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my elderly mother-in-law struggled to continue to live on her own, we soon became emotionally and physically drained trying to help her from over 200 miles away. We found Home Instead to be invaluable in doing all those small jobs - some basic cleaning, washing, ironing, etc, around the house,
and personal care that an older person struggles with.
As her health deteriorated, the carers increased the personal care. They were always friendly and helpful, often going that 'extra mile' which makes a difference.
Cannot speak too highly of the service we have received.

I made initial contact on advice from a health professional. I visited the office to arrange the care for my wife and found the administrative staff to be friendly, very helpful and obviously expert in dealing with my needs. The assessment visit was conducted with kindness and courtesy towards myself
and my wife. The subsequent care visits have been made by friendly, caring and highly competent staff. The organisation is highly recommended

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have used the services of Home Instead for the last three months or so for the care of my mother, and have been entirely satisfied with the service provided. It has been excellent in every way. We have been especially impressed by the way my mother has accepted the care, as she has never happily
accepted anyone coming into her home apart from a family member and could be very difficult. The carers coming in treat her with great respect and apart from the care they give her, also give her the companionship I was wanting for her, a change from the daily routine of just myself visiting her, which gives her a different sort of conversation and interaction. It also gives me a degree of respite which I've been in great need of. All in all, I couldn't fault the service.

The Home Instead team are very professional, courteous and genuinely focused on the welfare of my great aunt. They are very pragmatic and offer common sense solutions to any care issues related to my aunt that have come up. The Home Instead carer quickly and effectively overcame my aunt's initial
reticence to having a "stranger" in her house 4 days a week. My aunt has bonded well with her carers.

My father is very happy with the caregiver that visits him, they have formed a good relationship and she has made a difference to his well being. She has helped him through a difficult period. With the support of Home Instead we were able to get my father home from hospital quicker which he wanted.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has not left the house for 2.5years, so I arranged for respite whilst I took a two week holiday.
They visited us beforehand, struck up a rapport and discussed our requirements, I went away feeling confident that they would take care of my husband of 47 years, and that they did.
We had
a few hiccups the first week, he was stubborn and refusing care, ended up in A&E. I was kept informed whilst in Spain, they had to 'double up' the carers but throughout the two weeks, they provided an excellent service. Keeping an accurate log of activities and expenditure and I was very impressed with their professional yet sensitive attitude.

I rarely make comments like this, however, my recent experience makes me break my rules. I had Home Instead Senior Care Wrexham and Flintshire East for my Mother who had an emergency when I was out of the country. I rang Home Instead who responded with a personal visit to my Mother within 5 minutes.
No ifs no buts, no questions or delays, they just realised it was a small but important task to resolve immediately, which they did. This was a great relief when I was far away, and delightful good customer service.

The interview went very well, I put forward some suggestion of what I thought should happen they were all listened to and noted to be attended in future. All in all a satisfactory meeting between Home Instead Senior Care and myself and my wife and sister.

I've used this service for about 6 months. An initial assessment was made to ascertain my needs and to match my personality with an appropriate carer. The carer visits twice a week to help me shower. This is always the same person except for holiday periods or to cover for illness (though this hasn't
occurred yet) and I know in advance if it is not the usual carer. Carers arrive promptly. The carers are always cheerful and efficient, they treat me as I would wish. On occasions when my daughter has been away they have also made social visits - a cup of tea and a chat - so that I am not alone for the whole time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't praise this company enough. I am LPA for my neighbours; she has Alzheimer's. I am a senior clinical nurse with extremely high standards, I dreaded having to get a care package organised as it became necessary. I picked Home Instead after a few interviews with different agencies, as I was impressed
by the manager. The agency, and the Manager have met my expectations and hopes and more. The kindness and compassion shown by them has been of a very high standard; they maintain dignity and go out of their way to be creative and personal giving support. The client has been challenging. The Home Instead team have not been fazed by this, but have calmly and professionally helped and responded quickly (often within a few hours) to increasing needs. Once I had to change the package 3-times in one day as things escalated. The Manager is quite simply outstanding, good care obviously matters to her. I think it is her honesty, integrity and genuine concern that makes her so special.

When I finally sought help to support my Mum I was totally lost as to where to start but at the same time I was emotionally worn out and needed the right team and package to turn things around. The team at Wrexham did this for me from the moment I met them. their kindness, willingness and genuine care
has made all the difference. I honestly cant praise them highly enough, they go the extra mile.

Home Instead Senior Care provided care to my grandmother who required support with feeding and stimulation. The service they provided was excellent and the carer's were all very helpful, caring and treated nan with the utmost compassion and dignity throughout. They were all very polite and helpful
and a great support to me and my sister at a difficult time without them nan would have to have been moved on much sooner. Thanks again you deserve a medal.
