We approached Home Instead initially on a companionship basis to enable my elderly father to get out and about. This did not require personal care and it improved my dad's life.
Very quickly we saw a decline in his mobility and ability to function as he did. Home Instead Care Pros and service leads
were amazing in adapting to his needs whilst still giving him choices and maintaining as much independence as he was able to manage.
Right up to the day he was given the safety of a care home, they worked out the notice period by each day spending the routine 2-3hrs taking him out, settling him into the home and letting the home care staff know his likes and needs.
This was a massive help to me, the peace of mind that Dad still had a continuity of faces he knew and got on with.
Communication between the Care Pros, the office staff and myself was good.
I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead to anyone needing assistance for a loved one.

I cannot thank Home Instead and all the Care Professionals working there enough, for supporting my father to stay in his own home, for as long as possible. The care and support they gave him and us as a family was immense. We could not have coped in such difficult situations without them. My heartfelt
thanks.

We used Home Instead after the death of my mother-in-law in January 2024 and my father-in-law was left on his own. The care pros were fantastic in their support and adapting to the rapid increase in my father-in-law's care needs. All the carepros were kind, caring and supportive.

Home instead were 100% reliable with compassionate, personable carers. They responded to ad hoc requests speedily and kept me informed of any concerns regarding my mother. They provided a schedule of carers and informed us of any changes.

Home Instead have provided excellent care to my mother. She has built up an excellent bond with her Caregiver.
We have gone from my mother never wanting care to looking forward to her visits.
The Caregiver is wonderful.
