Review from L R J (Daughter of Client) published on 29 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been wonderfully supported by a number of different carers from Home Instead over the last 12 months. He is on the 'Spectrum' and also with Alzheimer's so difficult to manage. However, the team have always, and continue to look after him to the highest standards, providing both general
support (cooking / cleaning / day to day welfare) plus much needed mental stimulation, along with good food and often companionship when he's gardening. He's always treated kindly and with respect, despite his challenging behaviour. Home Instead have expanded and improved on his care package, as he's mentally deteriorated, ensuring that he continues to receive the right levels of support.

I am so pleased to have Home Instead in our area. They provided an excellent standard of care for my father in recent times and are now visiting my mother to provide support. Everyone we have dealt with in the office has been excellent, providing a friendly expert and approachable service. We really
value the continuity of our carer, who has developed a good and reassuring rapport with my mother.

The service has provided early morning showering, dressing and hair washing care for some time now, for my wife who suffers from dementia.
The ladies allocated for this task have mostly been very good or excellent. Any complaints with them have been dealt with by the management who have been most
sympathetic and understanding. I have nothing but praise.

Management were both caring and efficient.
There was one brief incident when a staff member proved to be incompatible with the patient, but it was quickly dealt with. Otherwise, carers quickly became friends.

Difficult to ask for no use of names, as all depends on who is offered to you, and whether you are compatible with each other, some fine-tuning is needed, and care in selection.
Management is not always quick to respond, in this area, we need more superstars, like one particular carer, is a total credit
to Home Instead. As for two visits from ladies who you thought were the best, who did not know that care does not have an I in it, finally who granted the best ever perfect human being ever, and as back up, had two also who I would be delighted to have back again. As this has been my life, I really would like a meeting with the management, as it is my future.

We enlisted the services of Home Instead Senior Care to support us during the final stages of my father's life. The high level of care and compassion demonstrated by all the care providers afforded the highest level of comfort and dignity to my father, and their support enabled us to keep him at home
for the end of his life. We are so grateful to the team for being our living angels during a very difficult time.

I know when I am out for the day, my husband has a visitor at least for an hour. New conversation, new friends and help when needed. This means I can enjoy my day and not be worried.

The care given to my mother was of the highest of standard. The carers treated her with dignity and respect at all times, and always has a friendly manner. They were quick to pick up on any slight changes in her condition and reported them immediately. As a retired registered nurse, I feel I am a good
judge of care quality, and I also spent many hours with my mum during the last couple of weeks of her life where I had ample opportunity to observe the care given. I would not hesitate to recommend the four who attended her.

Home Instead have been a huge support over the last couple of weeks, providing weekend night cover at very short notice two consecutive weekends. From a 3pm (ish) initial contact, their commitment to continue working beyond office hours to ensure cover was in place for that evening (9pm/10pm) was very
much appreciated.

My mother was increasingly disabled and finding it hard to cope. Home Instead provided regular visits in the early evening, took her for outings, did the crossword with her and anything else she needed. The two regular carers became good friends.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have no problem with either of the lovely carers who come in for six hours each Thursday and Friday when I have a two-day break.
However I have sparse communication with the office - carers have told me when they are having a holiday so the attending carer will change. And there have been misunderstandings
when it came to my taking an extra day off - so I didn't get it. Office are very friendly but not very efficient.

I chose this care provider because I liked the professionalism of the manager. Also, I felt because the staff were booked for a minimum of 1 hour, they wouldn't be looking at their watch all the time. The carers are delightful, arriving on time and full of cheer which my husband enjoys.

I am utterly delighted and grateful for the service Home Instead have consistently been providing for the past year for my elderly father. My father, myself and the family all love each carer that comes to my father’s house to care for him. I feel very confident that my father is receiving excellent
care and I can trust the carers with his care. They are kind, cheerful and professional and keep his spirits up and all his needs met. They are flexible and accommodating when we ask for things to be done or changed. Home Instead have a huge impact on my father’s physical health, morale and length of his life because they allow him to live and be well cared for in his own home.

My mother currently has two carers, both of which are always punctual.
They are always very happy to help in any manner they can and my mother is very happy with them.

Excellent. I look forward to the carer arriving and I find them caring, intelligent and lots of practical common sense, often, ahead of the game, seeing what needs to be done and what my needs are.

All the carers treated my husband with friendliness, dignity and compassion. They all fitted in well when they were involved at family times. We feel the minimum call time of 1 hour was excessive for a pad change only and 1/2 hour calls could be introduced for clients with long term needs. The bank
holiday charges are also high and the financial aspect of the care is our only criticism.
