Home Instead Senior Care provides support to people in their own home to help them live independently. This can include companionship and having a chat, domestic support such as cooking and cleaning, help with reading a book or newspaper, and prompts to take medication.
Clients can also be accompanied on a trip outside of the home, to go shopping, to an appointment or on a social excursion. Staff can also provide respite care if someone's regular carer needs a break. They do minimum visits of an hour, often longer, because the company doesn't believe that good quality care can be delivered in anything less than this.
CAREGivers are carefully matched to clients; they find out what the client likes to do, or what they used to enjoy, and will put a CAREGiver in place who has similar hobbies, so that they will share some common interests and experiences.
This means they should build a bond with each other that will benefit the client's wellbeing and quality of life. Each client will be looked after by a small number of CAREGivers, who will develop an ongoing relationship, rather than a different person coming through the door every time.
All CAREGivers have passed a rigorous assessment and training program before they go out and visit clients. They will have advanced DBS certificates in place, and will have had at least four references checked to verify their suitability for the role. Every one of them wants to make a difference to the lives of the people they are spending time with.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Tanya (Daughter of Client) on Tuesday 17 April 2018. Relates to November 2017.
We started using Home Instead to provide at-home care for our mother in November 2017. My sister and I have been so satisfied with the service provided by the managing directors and the CAREgivers that support Mum in the house. They have been able to adapt and provide the services required for Mum, respond to last minute changes, scale up services required quickly and efficiently. They have been a great source of support and advice and I highly recommend them. They are sensitive, comforting and respectful in very difficult circumstances. Thank you.

It is a relief to have found such a lovely caring team. Our family have complete confidence in the care given. The contact between us all is good and clear which leaves us all feeling reassured that Mum is in good hands when we can’t be with her.

Service and level of care excellent. We just need to get my mother not to keep changing/cancelling visits and give enough warning so as to avoid excess costs.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Ruth (Daughter of Client) on Thursday 26 October 2017. Relates to October 2017.
We approached Home Instead Senior Care to provide my father with some support and care on a daily basis. We were very impressed with the thoroughness of their assessment. They spent the best part of two hours getting to know my father's history, his interests, daily life and needs. On the basis of that they were able to put together a flexible and responsive package of care. His carers were very obviously committed to their work and sensitive to his challenges and needs. They handled his quirks with humour and sensitivity.
On a couple of occasions, my father became unwell. The carers were well supported by their managers who visited my father and stayed until the situation was resolved.
Sadly my father has had to return to 24-hour care which Home Instead do not currently provide. But I have no hesitation in recommending their service to anyone looking for care & support and was sad not to be able to continue with them.
