Review from BG (Son-in-law of Client) published on 7 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Home Instead (Doncaster) are helping to look after my (92 year old) relative who lives alone.


The care provided is first class. They endeavour to provide the same Carer(s) each visit so as to establish a trusting relationship with their Client.


They keep me informed of any developments and are

flexible in their approach.


Home Instead kindly attended my mother-in-law's house recently, at a few minutes notice, and assisted after she had fallen and fractured her hip.


I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent care provider

Review from Stewart C (Son-in-law of Client) published on 19 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The attitude, commitment, quality of care, attention to detail of ALL staff associated with Home Instead Doncaster has been outstanding from top to bottom and right across the board. They far exceeded my expectations in regard to the level of care and empathy shown by the carers to my mother in law,
and although I'm not an expert on care providers I cannot emphasise enough how good they are. They took a personal interest in her well being and nothing is too much trouble for them in ensuring a dignified and happy quality of care. My mother in law just loved them all and looked forward to them coming to care for her.


My sincere and genuine thanks to all staff at Home Instead, your help and care has been first class throughout and is greatly appreciated by my mother in law and not least by her family - many thanks again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I contacted Home Instead to care for my mum who has Parkinson's disease. I arranged for a carer once a day to cook my mum lunch and give her medication and any jobs she needed. The carers were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and they became friends to my mum and she looked forward to them calling.
I would recommend them to anyone who needs care. Fantastic service.
Reply from Robert Moore, Managing Director at Home Instead (Doncaster)

Thank you, we hope you and your mum are doing well. Don't hesitate to contact us should you need anything.

Review from Sharon F (Daughter of Client) published on 5 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Home Instead stepped in at short notice to provide much needed short-term support for my mother. The level of care was excellent and even though it was a temporary arrangement, the team did everything they could to meet our needs. I would happily use Home Instead again should the need arise, it is by
far the best (of 3 agencies) I have used.
Reply from Robert Moore, Managing Director at Home Instead (Doncaster)

Thank you, we really enjoyed caring for your mum and we are always here should you need us.

Review from Andrea S (Daughter of Client) published on 14 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At a time when our family were desperate to maintain our father's independence by assisting him to stay in his own home, we were advised to contact Home Instead Senior Care to help us in our quest.
From the moment of contacting them, we were reassured that they would work with us to achieve our goals.
All of the staff have, without exception been accommodating and professional, but most of all, understanding of the care needs Dad required. They tailored the care package to suit Dads lifestyle and social activities.
Sadly our association with Home Instead Senior Care came to an end in September 2016 when our father was taken into respite care, which has subsequently culminated in him remaining in full-time residential care.


In summary, we could not have maintained Dads' routine at home for the length of time we did without their assistance. Our family and Dad are grateful for everything you helped us with and we would like to pass on our thanks to the team.
Thank you.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.679 for Home Instead (Doncaster) is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.679

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Doncaster) is based on 13 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I enjoy meeting lots of people and helping to make a positive difference in their lives, even if it’s just making someone smile, or laugh at one of my bad jokes.


My new role will extend my time into organising and running more client activities such as Friendship Lunches and helping to raise funds for our Charity and spreading the good word for our services as well as collaboration with other groups to contribute to helping our clients live their best life.
