Home Instead continue to provide an excellent service to my uncle. He moved into a care home six months ago, and we decided to continue the Home Instead visits he was receiving at home. This is because of the great connection between my uncle and his Home Instead visitor, who is brilliant. They have developed a friendship which I know my uncle enjoys. Indeed I know they both enjoy their discussions and it's a strong source of companionship for my uncle. I would highly recommend Home Instead; they are very professional and their staff are superb.
Thanks for this review. The two of them found a great connection and really enjoy each others company. We've been happy to continue the visits in his new home.
The carers regularly went above and beyond to help, taking the time to make sure Mum was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their patience, professionalism, and genuine care made a real difference to both Mum and our family.
We are extremely grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for caring and dedicated support.
Thanks for this beautiful review - we're have always enjoyed supporting your mum and she has been an entertaining and lovely client. Great support includes the family an you have always been helpful & available in the important moments.
As a new user of Home Instead I have found the service to be exemplary. My husband, who has dementia, enjoys his afternoon out with the care giver and this allows me some respite, knowing he is being well looked after.
Thanks Linda, we appreciate the feedback and we're glad that the support is working for both of you. Our team enjoy the trips also.
We are very happy with the service so far and look forward to when Joyce can return to work.
Thanks - the team enjoy being helpful and get on well with them both.
Excellent service, very professional and always keep me informed of dad's care and welfare. the continuity of staff is extremely important to us especially with dad's early dementia. The office staff are always there to help with emergencies such as dad's hospital appointments and their monthly lunch meet up is a valuable addition that gets dad out meeting other people. Definitely recommend them!
Thanks Anne, your dad has a good team, and we're happy to help out with appointments. I know he enjoys the cafe.
Kind, caring staff. Very able to accommodate changes in schedule, ie attend appointments and arrange transport. Also very quick to respond to queries and requests, which is important as I do not live nearby. They also have an app where you can get more information about visits.
We're glad that we're able to help out - our team try to make everyone's life easier.
This has made a big difference to her mood
And we feel assured that she is in good hands and safe in her own home.
Home Instead gives good communication and regular reviews to update her care plan
Thanks for the review. We always focus on good communication to improve our clients care plans. Your involvement is a key part of that.
A good service from Home Instead - My Mother has developed a good relationship with her regular carers and looks forward to their visit. Home Instead are agreeable to requests and changes when politely requested.
Thanks for taking the time to provide this review. The team enjoy visiting your mum, and she's very clear in what she needs from us.
The level of care provided has allowed my Dad to live in his own home independently for much longer than we envisaged. The carers are dependable, friendly and tailor care for my dads specific needs. He also enjoys the company that they provide.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that our care has helped your dad continue living independently at home, and that our team's dependability, friendliness, and tailored support have made a positive difference. It's wonderful to know he also enjoys the companionship they provide, we're honoured to support your dad and your family.
Excellent service. Professional, caring staff who know my wife's condition and help her manage it. Continuity of staff is important. Having Home instead there to support us is important in our day to day lives.
Thank you for your kind review. We're glad our professional, caring team and continuity of staff are making a meaningful difference in supporting your wife. Your support and feedback mean a great deal to us.
We are both very appreciative of the wonderful service they provide.
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear that your husband enjoys the caf and the little highlights, and that you're both happy with the care provided. Creating a friendly, supportive environment is very important to us, and we truly appreciate your trust in us.
We contacted homeinstead when we needed to get care in place quickly for my mother in law. She gets two visits a day and loves spending her time with the carers. The carers are fantastic with her - providing the essential bespoke care she needs as well as much needed companionship. It gives her routine and means she can stay in her own home for longer. The office staff and managers are easy to get hold of if we need anything and are always sympathetic to our requests or worries. They have given us peace of mind in very difficult and emotional times. Can't thank or recommend the whole team enough.
Thanks Beth, from the first time we spoke, we wanted to help, and put in place a support plan to allow your mother-in-law to continue to stay in her own home. Communication is always critical, and together we have developed a system that means her routines, our schedule and the daily tasks are...
My dad enjoyed the visits. My fathers health took a rapid decline and I had to increase the carers with hardly any notice. Home Instead stepped up and managed to get carers in immediately who cared for my dad through a difficult period until he went into hospital.
The app was very useful to see what was happening in real time.
All the carers were very kind to dad and always treated him with respect
I would highly recommend Home Instead.
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We're honoured to have supported your father and glad our team could be there when it mattered most. Your feedback means a great deal to us.
I would 100% recommend
Thanks for taking the time to provide this wonderful feedback, and for giving us the opportunity to support your mum. We will pass on your appreciation to the specific member of the team. I know she enjoys visiting your mum and they always find something interesting to do.
All the carers of Homeinstead are very good and kind and will do anything for you, I'm delighted I chose to have the Homeinstead carers, They change my bed , do my ironing, take the rubbish out, they are also very good listeners
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear that you're happy with the support our team provides. It's wonderful to know that the carers are making a positive difference in your day-to-day life. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them.
The HomeCare team looked after my elderly mum during the final year of her life. Helping her with meal preparation and providing friendship and support. She benefited hugely from seeing the team - enjoying their company and chat. And the team were brilliant at keeping in touch with me about my mum's health particularly when they noticed she wasn't doing so well. Every single person I dealt with in the team was approachable, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend anyone looking for help with caring for their loved ones to speak to HomeCare.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It was a privilege to support your mum during such an important time in her life. We're glad to hear that our care made a positive difference and that you felt supported too. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
They are friendly, courteous,
and always willing to listen to our needs,
problems and chit chat.
The house has never been so clean.
Thank you, Home Instead, for your help.
We're glad you get on so well with the members of the team. They are happy to help.
Everyone is really friendly and the contact is fantastic. Mum seems to be really happy with the girls that are coming in and it lifts her mood. They are all so helpful and are willing to help with housework when they are in attendance for meal prep. The feedback on the app is great as you can see what has happened daily. Contact by message and the app are great.. I am very happy that I have chosen Home Instead as a secondary care team for my mum
We're always happy to be helpful in a variety of ways, and the team enjoy visiting your mum. I'm also happy that you find the access to the app and the visit reports to be useful. Thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback.
Homeinstead carers were excellent. The management at Homeinstead were very helpful. If an issue arose they dealt with it immediately. They kept a small team of carers to deal with my husband who had dementia so change was not good for him, I can't recommend this care company high enough.
We were happy to help, and the team who were assigned to him felt valued and welcomed into our home. Thanks for putting your trust in our team. We wish you all well.
Both my parents have complex needs and the support staff have been amazing in supporting them to continue to live together.
I'm extremely grateful to Home Instead.
Thanks, your folks have different personalities and support needs - which has given us the opportunity to introduce a variety of people as part of their support. With your help we have been able to adapt to their needs and keep them living well at home. We enjoy working with you and your family.
