My carer has become a friend. She looks after me as if I were her mother, with care, kindness and with the care that affords me my dignity. She performs all tasks diligently. I look forward to seeing her every morning.

Carers that actually care!


The care provided for my mum is excellent, consistent and always considerate of her needs on a daily basis.


Communication between the carers and myself is always prompt and helpful if any issue is identified at a morning visit. I cannot speak highly enough of the care

she receives.

I found the service perfect for our requirements. Our caregiver was a caring, capable and kindly presence and I very much enjoyed his company. His presence gave my wife a certain independence which enabled her to pursue her career (playwright)

Home Instead Senior Care (Chingford)have been amazing since our mum has been back at home after a stroke. They have been able to take her and attend doctors and hospital appointments. They take notes and are very professional with passing on relevant information. This has been invaluable when family
members have been unable to attend.

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

Excellent review, the team has worked over and beyond to ensure clients are at the centre of all we do. The review truly reflects this. Well done team. Proud of all you do for our clients and brand.

I insisted that I wanted a carer who was punctual and I have found that in our present carer.
If they are unavoidably late or early, they inform me. They are caring and careful with the service they provide.

My carer has moved to be extremely reliable. She always turns up on the dot - always with a smile. She is generous and knowledgeable in providing care. She lets me set the pace - never rushing me. She is gentle and respectful in providing intimate care. I like her a lot!

I have had a Home Instead carer for the last two months or so and find her competent, friendly and willing to do whatever she is asked to do.
I am certainly willing to have her continue to care for me and would recommend her to anyone who similarily needs the attention of a carer.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Home Instead (Chingford) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.924 for Home Instead (Chingford) is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.924

  • b) 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 available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Chingford) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
