Overall Experience
Just have to say how incredibly grateful I am for the care shown t my dad, especially as I was on holiday I would not not have been able to go on holiday without this support
The two home helps have shown not only care towards my dad but their daily reports show how they have really got to k ow my dad
The meal prep and cleaning is great but the companionship has truly made a difference to dad and me
The head office team are so friendly and efficient
My initial meeting with Leanne filed me with confidence and that has continued

Thank you to all involved

A top class service. The initial assessment was thorough but also relaxed, putting us at our ease. There was clearly an attention to detail that was very reassuring.

When the care giving began, it did exactly 'what it said on the tin.' Carers were punctual, well-informed and ready to help in any way they could. There was a genuine investment in looking after my mother.

I've been using the services of Home Instead Chingford since their inception and have had some wonderful carers. It makes a great start to the day to have someone to talk to and help me with my needs. I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone seeking care.

Review from M J (Daughter of Client) published on 17 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The initial interviews were thorough and professional. They took the time to find out as much as they could about Mum's needs and what made her happy. They did a risk assessment and were able to make some suggestions regarding Mum's care, which was very helpful. The staff are kind and friendly. Some are more experienced than others but an effort is made to make sure that a new carer shadows an existing one. If there are any changes, we are informed quickly. An improvement would be to let us know in advance who will be caring for Mum, as we are required to give two weeks notice when requesting care.

Review from Denise B (Client / Service User) published on 17 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This month I had a number of hospital appointments, also, I was still recovering from two hospital stays. One of the appointments was back to back. Home Instead always made sure that a carer accompanied me to every appointment.

The last appointment of that month the hospital transport was delayed twice. The first time the excuse was they couldn't find the address. The second excuse was that they had broken down. By that time it was too late for me to attend the hospital. The carer, nonetheless, remained with me the whole time, calming me down in this stressful time.

Overall Experience
All the carers who have come to help care for my mum have been fantastic. Not only have they been professional and competent for personal care but, most importantly, for me and my mum they have been genuinely caring. They have joined in with us like a family, looked at photos, told stories and we have felt really comfortable with them.

24-hour care was provided at short notice and even with a patchwork of carers, it has worked really well.

We are grateful for the nice comments. The care professionals really felt like extended family members and enjoyed supporting the client and family members. Thank you for your review.

Overall Experience

Home Instead have been caring for both my parents for over a year now, and I am always impressed with their professionalism, but also the genuine feeling of care and attention. The carers are very kind, and perform their role well, but also show a genuine interest in their wellbeing, and are happy to spend time talking and listening to them both which I really value. I am able to speak with management and staff by phone, or by email, and I find it so reassuring to know that I have support from them also as I live some distance away from my parents. It is also good to know that when I have a few days away that I can totally rely on everyone from Home Instead to do a wonderful job in my absence.

Reply from Nigel Allen, Co Owner/Director at Home Instead (Chingford)

A pleasure to care for a loving couple who live well. They have a supportive loved one who ensures that every need of mum and dad is always catered for. The care professionals enjoy the time spent with them and the relationship that has developed with all carers. Thank you for your kind response.

Without Home Instead, I simply do not know what we would have done.
They cared for my mother, who was challenging to say the least, with such care, tenderness and professionalism, whilst at the same time accommodating my father's wishes throughout. All of our interactions with them, whether with management, staff or the carers themselves were just wonderful.

If I could give 10 stars I would!

Home Instead has been wonderful from the word g - the management has and continues to accommodate my father’s ever-changing and sometimes challenging needs choosing and matching the care professionals to suit my dad's character. They also are always there for me and my husband when we need it, offering support emotionally and physically always professionally but in a friendly approachable way.
The care professionals truly do care, their patience, kindness and compassion as well as their skills are outstanding and admirable.

I would recommend Home Instead in a heartbeat, and I am and always will be eternally grateful to them.
