The care assistance have been absolutely brilliant for my friend and I can not thank them enough. They were diligent, thoughtful and extremely professional.


It has given me comfort to know that my friend was being looked after every evening.


Keep up the good work and thank you very much.

My mother has received excellent service from Home Instead (Chichester and Bognor Regis) over the past year or so. The carers were reliable and were always able to help mum with various tasks around the home and provide transport for hospital appointments and accompany her as well. Mum established a
good rapport with the carers who were assigned to her. Thank you from both of us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Home Instead provided excellent care which meant that my father was able to live at home for the final months of his life. The team of carers who supported him were wonderful. Their companionship and care ensured that he was as independent as his condition allowed, and could be in control of some decisions
even when he wasn't able to do everything he wanted to. They built great relationships with him and with supporting family members. The wider team were helpful and responsive, putting care in place so that he could be discharged from hospital as soon as possible and flexing to meet changing requirements. Overall it felt that Home Instead and our family worked together as a team to support my father and give him the best quality of life that we could.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful review, which I will share with the team. It was a privilege to care for Michael at home and support your family at such an important time. Thank you.

After our first month of care for Dad, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to your whole team. Together you have managed to achieve something I never really thought possible. The ladies have made an amazing breakthrough with Dad and Mum. As you all know my brother and I were very sceptical about the
possibility that carers could be accepted by Mum and Dad. In just one month the carers have achieved so much. My parents enjoy their company, they take great care of Dad, and it is peace of mind for my brother and I to have extra help from them visiting every day.
My review is 5 stars, as I really cannot fault the team. They are all very considerate and handle all care needs thoroughly and respectfully.
Please pass on my thanks to everyone on the team that has been involved in Dad’s care. It is very much appreciated.

The review went really well. Our questions were answered which we had.
We are very pleased with the carers who arrive on time, and give details which is extremely helpful to read when accessing the app. Very informative. Friendly approachable staff when we need any advice, help or support.
Thank
you so much for the great, excellent care you provide.

I have to work out in advance what help to ask for depending on the carers and experts.
Useful to have two regular helpers otherwise I spend the time showing where things are.

I have been with your firm as a result of a stroke. As my family live some distance away and I live alone, they decided I needed help and care. In October 2022 I had to have a replacement knee and needed more help and support. I had help 3 times a day for six weeks which I now have 4 times a week. Knowing
the carers so well helped immensely to recover. The carers I have had since are great and know how I like things done. If a carer has been delayed the office always let me know. All this gives me the confidence to live alone and not in a home. Well done carers and thank you for your kindness.

I have been a service user at Home Instead for nearly two years and I have been grateful for all the help I have received. The helpers are always kind, conscientious and considerate. However, I do find that sometimes they are put under considerable stress when trying to get to a client on time. 15 minutes
between clients today, traffic is hot enough. It is important to arrive on time particularly when an appointment is concerned.

Carers are helpful and when the jobs are finished it is good to have a chat with them. If carers don't know where to put some things away I would like them to ask rather than leave them on the worktop.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm a 92-year-old gentleman living on my own and use Home Instead (Chichester & Bognor Regis) four times a week to help me with my lunch. I am independent but having carers helps me stay this way! The carers are friendly and helpful and it is a pleasure to have them visit. They're excellent at using
their initiative to find other things I may need help with. I plan my weekly timetable, such as changing and washing bedding, when receiving my supermarket food delivery around their visits so they can help me with these. I'm extremely satisfied with the service I received and so is my family! I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead to anyone looking for care.
Reply from Simon McGee, Owner at Home Instead (Chichester & Bognor Regis)

Thank you so much! We are all extremely fond of you and I’m delighted the team are helping you to maintain your independence! Best wishes, Simon.

Without the support of Home Instead, first with my father and then with my mother, my parents would have had great difficulty in staying in their own home until their passing. A friendly and efficient regular group of carers who took time to get to know my parents and worked so well with the family.
We are very grateful for their support.

Dear Rowan, thank you for such a lovely review. It was a privilege to be able to work with your family to support your parents to remain at home. Sending very best wishes to you and your sisters.

My experience has been all good. The ladies/carers are all caring, kind, friendly and professional. Once they have dealt with my personal care, they are happy to help out with all other matters requesting attention around the house, things such as washing up, feeding my dog etc. They clearly have read
my notes and are aware of what makes me who I am.

Home Instead have acted like an extension of our family. From the moment I contacted the office, I felt that the staff had the knowledge and experience to guide us through unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory. My mother has always been fiercely independent, but it was clear she needed some help with
her memory and daily routine and also on an emotional level.
Our experience has only been positive, at every turn staff have been credible, supportive and kind.
My mother is clearly fond of the carers supporting her, and they seem to be well match in terms of their experience and personalities.
