The Home Instead Salford staff have visited Mum every day since we engaged their services in January of this year. The staff are kind, professional, attentive to Mum’s needs and importantly, throughout the pandemic, have adhered to safety protocols. I know Mum enjoys her daily visit and it is reassuring
for me to know that she is being taken care of when I am unable to be with her. The management are always available and responsive to my queries or requests. I could not be more satisfied with the service.
Reply from Susan Robinson, Director at Home Instead (Salford)Hello Karen - thank you so much for your outstanding review! We are very lucky to have such an amazing team of people - both working in the community and within the office. We are very proud of our team who have continued to work throughout the pandemic with enthusiasm and gusto! Obtaining the correct PPE has been a challenge but we have succeeded - so far - so good. Your Mum has missed her regular visit from her mobile hairdresser during the past few months due to COVID and so one of our lovely CAREGivers came to the rescue! A hair wash and roller session was the order of the day. A little pampering works magic - and the smiles on the photos prove it too! Thank you for putting your trust in us - your Mum is a pleasure to support and have fun with.

When we first approached Home Instead they outlined how they operate and how they would put together a tailor-made care package for Dad. Every step of the way they did what they said they would do in a professional friendly way. They got to my Dad and with that knowledge they put together a team of
caregivers who proved to be amazing in every aspect. Home Instead plans their Caregivers' schedules so they are always on time and do exactly what has been agreed.
When Dad had a fall in the night the next morning the Caregiver stayed with him, made the necessary phone calls including arranging cover for her next client while she looked after him until the ambulance arrived.
We have complete confidence in the care they deliver - 'they do what it says on the can!' If you are going to have care in the home you have to have Home Instead.
Reply from Susan Robinson, Director at Home Instead (Salford)Hello Karen, thank you so much for such an outstanding review. Our CAREGivers and office team are extraordinary and we enjoyed supporting your father. We will make sure that all CAREGivers who visited him have sight of the review. We hope you are well and we send our best wishes.

After a recent, much-needed review, care standards have improved, if we can add please that carers need to be aware of service users' needs before their visit.
Reply from Susan Robinson at Home Instead (Salford)Hello and thank you for taking the time to write a review. As a longstanding Client we value your feedback and we thank you for putting your trust in us. We are always looking to improve our services and we will call you in the next few days to discuss your comments. Many thanks once again.

My mum is 90 this year and is a staunchly independent woman. She is intelligent and discerning and struggles to ask for help. Home Instead has provided that help, so that mum doesn’t overburden her friends.
I live in Canada and when mum had a recent hospital admission for a pacemaker they made sure
that mums care was increased to help her in the recovery phase after her hospital admission, they also visited her in hospital and communicated with me as to how she was progressing. It was so comforting to me to know that mum’s needs were being met in a proactive and dynamic way. Service was increased and then as she recovered her service was reduced.
The carers are carefully matched so that there is a good ‘fit ‘ they are well trained, conscientious and enjoy their work bringing positive energy and vitality, which is so lovely. I would be happy to recommend Home Instead.

Sometimes my caregivers give above and beyond what they need to do. They can make me feel so much better with the simplest of actions e.g. Washing my hands and face and combing my hair.

Mum has Alzheimer's and had refused any help from Social Services, insisting that her two daughters will tend to all her needs. We did but found we struggled to have any holiday and spend any time with our families. Then we came across Home Instead Senior Care. We were worried that Mum might still resist
any help but with some perseverance and the skill of the two lovely carers she now enjoys their visits. They will ensure she eats, occasionally take her out and help with housework. They have been a great help to me and my sister as have the staff back at the office. Nothing is too much trouble.
Reply from Susan Robinson at Home Instead (Salford)Thanks so much for your feedback, it's really appreciated. We understand that families are often apprehensive when accessing additional care outside of the immediate family. However, with time and patience (and the right team!) this CAN be achieved, and the benefits to all become very quickly apparent. Our CAREGivers really love their time with Mum and we're delighted to hear that the feeling is mutual! Thanks for putting your trust in us.

The consistency of care was very important to mum and Home Instead Senior Care (Salford) provided this. Mum has come to describe her caregivers as friends. This tells me that mum is happy with her visits and is confident in their abilities. Communication is also a vital part of care and if there were
ever any problems with mum I was always notified. An excellent company - definitely recommend to friends.
Reply from Susan Robinson at Home Instead (Salford)Thank you for this lovely review. Your Mum was a lovely lady and was a pleasure to support and be with. We are delighted that she considered her CAREGivers as 'friends' and this is what we strive for 'professional friendships' where there is joy and mutual respect between Client and CAREGivers always. We miss your Mum and wish you and your family all the best for the future.

My friend who was fiercely independent took a long time to agree to using Home Instead Senior Care (Salford). She wanted to stay in her own house as long as she could but eventually realised Home Instead Senior Care (Salford) would make that possible and take a lot of the burden off her family. I know
she was delighted with the care she had from your ladies who were only with her for a very short time but treated her so well. It was sad she didn't take advantage earlier.
Reply from Susan Robinson at Home Instead (Salford)Yes, it did take a while to gain her trust but eventually, she did allow us to visit her and immediately she was hooked. Very quickly if the 'match' between Client and caregiver is right all fear and trepidation disappears very quickly. It is hard to let strangers in our own homes but here at Home Instead, our recruitment process is thorough together with our training. However, what we look for initially is passion - people who want to deliver top-quality care with compassion and empathy. When our caregivers arrive for their interview they have to pass the 'Mum or Dad' test. Would we like him or her to support our own parents? If the answer is 'no' they will not pass the recruitment process. Thank you for taking the time to complete this review and our caregivers enjoyed supporting your friend - even though it was for a short time.

Home Instead Senior Care (Salford) feels like an extended family. Communication is superb, it is very refreshing having the phone answered on the first or second ring and your query is dealt with asap. I can't comment on the particular experience as the caregivers are always consistent with the level
of care they provide. They are kind, caring, efficient and punctual and praise must also go to the management of the team. You can easily expand/alter the level of care quickly as needs change. Just a simple phone call means it's done. Home Instead Senior Care (Salford) makes me feel I am not alone in battling dementia care.
Reply from Susan Robinson at Home Instead (Salford)Thank you for such a fabulous review. We have been rated 'outstanding' by CQC because of our exceptional caregivers and our friendly and efficient office team. We love and respect everyone whether client or caregiver and this shines through in the quality of care that we provide day in and day out. Thank you for sparing the time to write this review.

My aunt was initially reluctant to accept help at home. The Home Instead Senior Care (Salford) team visited on three occasions to answer her questions and without any pressure to give reassurance. My aunt decided on a trial period and was delighted with the care and support she received. I was so relieved
to know that she was being looked after by well-trained friendly staff who really cared about her well being. Sadly due to my aunt's death, we only had a short period with Home Instead Senior Care (Salford). Thank you for the help and support you gave to all of us.
Reply from Susan Robinson at Home Instead (Salford)Thank you for this lovely review. Many people are reluctant to accept help from Home Instead Senior Care, Salford initially. It is a big decision for everyone and very unnerving. However, after one or two visits this usually rectifies itself and as you say your aunt very quickly looked forward to her visits from her new 'professional friends'. We thoroughly enjoyed supporting you and your aunt and thank you for putting your trust in us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first telephone calls and home visits to see Mum to organise the support she needed, I was so impressed with the caring nature of the staff, the ethos of the company and the time put in to find the right carers to help Mum.
The staff who provide this companionship are caring, helpful, friendly
and kind, doing a variety of things with Mum at home or taking her out. Mum really enjoys this time together and feels very secure.
When I telephone the office, the staff have a lovely friendly manner, dealing with my questions promptly or kindly pass messages on as needed. Any emails I send are always dealt with promptly too.
Many old people feel happy and orientated in their own homes and want to stay there but finding the right help can be difficult. The Home Instead team allow this to happen for Mum by providing excellent support. Thank you all the team for everything you do.
Reply from Susan Robinson at Home Instead (Salford)Thank you for your lovely review. The carers always enjoy spending time with your mum. Positive news is always a pleasure to receive. Many thanks for putting your trust in us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Home Instead were amazing right from very first point of contact. They went out of their way to respond quickly to our enquiry but were extremely thorough in their process, no corner cutting, every single detail was covered off. Their approach is highly personalised, taking into account
the needs and feelings of the care recipient at all times, they are practical yet sympathetic.
The carers that were assigned were both fantastic, always on time, extremely helpful and had the insight to know how to be able to ramp-up/down level of care and support as needed. They were also both extremely smartly dressed which I thought was a very nice touch.
I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead to anybody looking for home care services. They are highly professional and I can completely agree with how highly rated they are in terms of their Quality Care Commission rating of outstanding.

My mother has been so contented with all the caregivers, one in particular. All have been punctual. She has felt that they will do anything she asks. A huge difference for us both has meant I have had more energy to deal with the remainder of tasks she needs support with. Not only have the care providers
assisted mum, they have also contacted me to see how I was during a challenging time. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nana had some complex health issues... when she was good she was really good and tried to be as independent as possible. When she had a turn however it would happen quickly and with little notice and leave her exhausted with very little energy.
These up and down patterns were becoming more frequent
and so we contacted Home Instead for extra care and support. They were fantastic at working with us around Nana's requirements as they would change.
The staff were all really friendly and approachable and helped Nana feel independent and comfortable in her own home. It was a huge relief to know someone was visiting her at planned times when myself and other family members were stuck at work!
Would definitely recommend!
Reply from M Corcoran, Care Manager at Home Instead (Salford)Thank you for your kind review, which is much appreciated. I would also like to point out that it was a joy to have known and worked with your Nana. Despite, her conditions and the difficulties it caused her, she was always found to be in good spirits and never failed to make us all laugh with her funny jokes and stories. She is very much missed by our team. We wish you and your family well for the future.

Some difficulty with carrying out personal care due to the resistance of service user.
Some encouragement recorded, still resistance.
Sometimes no encouragement, no personal care noted in the report despite the reason for the visit.
Called agency to request attempt to assist with personal care, still
no record of carer requesting/supporting with them.
Generally, the carers are lovely and their company enjoyed.
Little trips out much appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Home Instead (Salford) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 4.833 for Home Instead (Salford) is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.833
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.5 Points for the second and third Positive Reviews, 0.25 Points for each of the next two Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.05, 7th = 0.05, 8th = 0.05, 9th = 0.05, 10th = 0.05, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Salford) is based on 21 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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.

Susan Robinson

Job Title: Director - Co Founder Joined: 2016

My name is Susan Robinson, and I am the owner of Home Instead Salford and Worsley. I have lived and worked in Salford all my life, and I am immensely proud to be part of this vibrant and ever-changing city.


Although I have owned and managed two exciting businesses in the past, more recently I have volunteered and worked in several primary schools in Salford. A large proportion of my time involved developing relationships between the school, families and the wider community. My passion for community development grew very quickly, and I had no intention of changing my career path.


However, I needed some support from my mum when we were going on holiday in August 2015. It was at this time that I was introduced to Home Instead Senior Care. I was amazed at the culture and ethos of the company. Love, care and compassion are at the heart of the Home Instead philosophy. When I realised that there was an opportunity in Salford to support individuals in their own homes, where they are most happy and comfortable, I grabbed it with both hands.

This role includes scheduling, which can be very stressful at times, but it also keeps me on my toes. I am always up for a challenge. I deliver care when needed, and I enjoy this too. Liaising with Care Professionals, Clients, and family members is always interesting, and each day is different. There is no time to be bored here at Home Instead!


At home, I love spending time with my friends and family, cooking and gardening.”


Amy is an asset to Home Instead Salford, and she has a great eye for detail, which is essential for this role.
