Home instead are providing an excellent service for my parents who are 94 & 92 and suffer from dementia to some extent. I live 200 miles away and depend on the service provided and have POAs in place. My parents and I rely on the service provided as the local council are unable to provide support to
the levels I am comfortable with due to the budget constraints the council operate under

I have been very impressed with the manager and her team. All conversations have been centered around my mum and how they can help. They have adapted to my need for additional care. I can't thank them enough. My mum is being well looked after and is really happy with the help provided. No question has
been too much trouble.

Home Instead South Lanarkshire provide a wonderful service to my mother which is allowing her to remain in her own home at the age of almost 94. Carers are kind, courteous and caring and office staff very amenable to help with any extra requests from the family.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Overall I appreciate the support they have provided me over the years. Could however pay closer attention to their client's preferred wants and needs. I understand however this is not been easy due to the shortage of staff etc, perhaps employing more care workers would help. Communication is poor between
all including office staff, care workers, team leaders and clients and needs improvement.
Reply from Alan Barr, Owner/Director at Home Instead (South Lanarkshire)

Yes as with all care companies at the moment recruitment is very difficult, especially over the festive period when we were tight for staff. This has vastly improved in the last month as recruitment of new staff have come on board. I am sorry for the dip in service but you should see this become more consistent going forward.

Home Instead provides personal care for my friend who has disabilities resulting from a stroke, all the carers are great and valued, as are all the staff. They are considerate to his needs and also realise that routine plays an important part in his care. If I ask for help or advice they will help if
they can..so thank you Home Instead.

My experience is good.
The continuity of same care staff and also the same time each day is very important to my husband due to his Alzheimer's condition. The time sheet that I receive each Friday afternoon for the following week is also appreciated. The care staff are always professional, understanding
and make my husband feel at ease which is a great help to myself.

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 4.699 for Home Instead (South Lanarkshire) is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.699
  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 relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (South Lanarkshire) is based on 22 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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.
