The Home Instead team came to our aid when we were looking to get my father out from hospital and back home. With very short notice, they put a package in place which enabled us to get him home the next day with a rota of care which continued for the next 3 months. We all came to rely on the team a
lot and they went above and beyond to cater for his requests and timings, alongside the medical care provided both during the day shifts and particularly the overnight care. They became part of the family, and often I think he looked forward to talking to them as part of the visits more than anything. I would thoroughly recommend the Home Instead team.

The Hoem Instead team are amazing! We have worked with them for over seven years, firstly with my mother who had dementia and now with my 94-year-old father who has needs that are consistently changing.
The entire team feel like family now, but remain totally professional at all times. Care plans are
adapted and updated frequently and the care professionals are always ahead of the game. The app that is used gives me all the information I need to see that my father us being well looked after. They all go above and beyond the call of duty. A five-star company for sure.

Having used another provider we had to change carer for my elderly mother. Not an easy task and we had a very small window of time to do so. Home Instead have provided excellent service and attention to detail. Resulting in a happy client. In comparison to previous care company, they are considerably
more professional and attentive.

My father has been receiving care and support from Home Instead for a little under a year. From day one, I have been bowled over by the high level of professionalism and care shown by every member of the organisation. The office is highly efficient and maintains close contact with me on all matters
concerning my father's care. This is a source of great comfort as I live overseas.
Dad really looks forward to the daily evening visit and the CarePro's do a phenomenal job, treating him as if he was a member of their family, always going above and beyond to accommodate his routine, likes and dislikes. Their visit reports on the app are excellent, informative and give me a firm feeling that he is in very good hands.
I can't speak highly enough about the quality of care that the Home Instead Team is providing and if I could rate them higher than five stars I would.

We are very satisfied with the very efficient, professional and friendly services provided by Home Instead. Your care staff are beyond reproach. I assume reflecting the selection of caring staff by management. Our overall experience is surmounted by the friendliness of our visiting carers and their
unstinting concern for the clients well being. The only observation I feel that I should make is the fact that even with given notice for holiday or hospital admissions, must still be paid in full.

Reply from Mark Gettinby, Registered Manager at Home Instead (Havant, Waterlooville, Emsworth & Hayling)

Thank you for your comments. Our staff are amazing and that is because we as a management team put time, effort, and resources into recruiting, training, supporting, and developing them. To that end, when you go away we continue to pay our team to give them stability of income and ensure the same team you have built such effective and caring relationships are still the same hand picked team who are there when you return.

The team from Home Instead are excellent in their care of Dad. He is treated with dignity and the level of support is exceptional. It is heartwarming to see the rapport that each of the team has established with Dad.
I have huge peace of mind having seen the team at work, which is invaluable given
I live in Ireland and can't be here in a short turnaround.
Given I am remote from the area the coordination and communication through the office team is also excellent. I consider that we are very lucky to be a client of Home Instead.

First experience of using a care agency. Big step. Concerns? Invasion of privacy? However, all the staff have shown great sensitivity and courtesy to both of us.
Staff are alert to any way they can improve their service. Well done recruitment person.

Home Instead have been supporting my mother in her home for over three months. All the ladies that visit Mum are excellent, my mother looks forward to their visits. They are patient, kind and professional. We are increasing the visits which will enable my mother to stay in her home longer. I particularly
like the app so I can see the support Mum has received that day. The setting up process and reviews have all been handled efficiently.

The two carers that were allocated to attend to my needs were excellent, patient and caring. I actually looked forward to their visits, and they were additionally of help to my wife with jobs that she was unable to undertake due to having a hip replacement.
