Overall Experience

My carer is always punctual. I really appreciate that my needs, both physical and psychological were well assessed before she was selected for me as we really seem to "get on" well. Most of the time we just chat but there are times when she will carry out jobs e.g. Preparing vegetables, shopping etc. All very willingly. I really look forward to her twice-weekly visits.

Overall Experience
We are very pleased with the care received from Home Instead Senior Care (Bristol North) although one carer whilst keen to learn and very committed to the job would benefit from more training in complicated cases.
Home Instead are always helpful and to do their best to help with any problems.

All the caregivers are kind and do their best to make our lives as carefree as possible given present circumstances.

Overall Experience
Home Instead have been providing companionship to my mum, who has dementia, for nearly 2 years. What I love is that in all this time it has been the same 3 ladies who have taken Mum out, providing her with much-needed continuity. They have all always treated Mum with respect and kindness.

The office staff are also very approachable and friendly. When my dad fell ill last year and we needed additional care for my mum, the office and care staff pulled out all the stops to provide us with the help we needed. I would not hesitate in recommending them. They do a fantastic job.

My carer is a lovely lady who is willing and helpful at all times. We talk while she is working so I have social interaction as well, which is good when you live on your own.

Review from Kim T (Daughter of Client) published on 8 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Home Instead has been absolutely fantastic in providing professional and sensitive care for my Mum who has Alzheimer’s. I wish we had found them earlier. The time and care that senior supervisor took in matching Mum with her two carers really paid off and Mum was very happy with the arrangement.

We used another agency a year ago with very disappointing results (different people arriving, not sensitive to mum’s quiet disposition, no paperwork) and we were just amazed by how different our experience had been with Home Instead. I thoroughly recommend this service and hope they can help more people like Mum.
