I have been really impressed with Home Instead, who have arranged a care package for my Mum. The office staff have been very professional and responsive and understood what help and support my Mum needs. The carer is brilliant! She is prompt, kind and supports mum in a respectful and dignified way. It is so reassuring to have a care company that looks after a loved member of your family so well. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, we are so privileged to be able to support your mum, she is a lovely lady.
Thank you for doing what I should be doing but cannot because I am too far away.
Thank you for this lovely review, we are more than happy to stand in. Many thanks for your review, I have shared it with the team, it is very much appreciated.
They have been very efficient and organised. The care standards are excellent.
My father, who was initially reluctant to admit he needed more help, now really values the help he gets, and is very happy with the principal caregivers, noting how kind and caring they are.
As I live 300 miles away from my father, being able to view the reports of the visits on the Care Planning app gives me great peace of mind.
So far, Home Instead have offered an excellent service - and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
My dad was cared for by the excellent team at Home Instead (Tyne Valley) following his discharge home from hospital. Due to his advanced dementia, he could be very difficult to manage but he was treated at all times with the utmost kindness and respect by the team. I cannot praise their care highly enough and also the outstanding support they extended during this period to my mum and the rest of his family. All of the team were outstanding but I would like to make special mention of some whose compassion and professionalism were excellent. We thank you all that in his final months he was safe and secure in your care.
After the circumstances of my parents (late eighties/early nineties) changed very quickly I needed to put in place professional care in a matter of days. The owner and their team were extremely responsive in assembling a very well matched care package. Quality, consistency and reliability have been there from the start and the communication is excellent, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you very much for your review, I know that everyone involved in your parents care class it as a pleasure to work with them.
I am extremely happy and grateful for their company, help and assistance.
I was one of the first, if not the first to be a client of Tyne Valley branch of Home Instead, they have served my wife and me far better than the other companies we have had before. Home Instead is very thorough in everything they do, and take it from me they do everything, including washing and ironing. I could not wish for better service than the carers from Home Instead, Tyne Valley provide and provide with a good heart.
I cannot recommend Home Instead services enough.
Thanks to the director and the team in the office as well as the two caregivers for your exceptional service and care you give to my parents.
I was recommended Home Instead by a colleague from work. Mam, who lives in sheltered accommodation, had been deteriorating for some time both mentally and physically. Home Instead provides a service to her 5 days a week Monday to Friday and family support her over the weekend. The carers support her with her morning medication, ensuring she is wearing her call pendant, cook a light hot meal, wash and apply cream to her legs, take her for a walk up the internal corridor and recently due to a dementia diagnosis apply a daily patch to help with her symptoms. We are delighted with the care Mam is receiving. From the assessment of her needs to the daily care, it has been carried out with compassion, empathy and in a very professional manner. Mam is very fond of her carers and their visits lift her spirits. There is good communication between the carers, managers and myself. With this we hope to keep mam in her own home as long as possible. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

Home Instead Tyne Valley is owned by Heather Hughes, who started her professional career by gaining her NNEB Certificate and working as a Special Care Baby Nurse at Thorpe Maternity Hospital in South Durham.
Using the qualifications and experience from working with children, Heather changed direction and trained as a photographer working with children and adults for over 20 years, 10 of which were in her own business.
Heather has lived in the North East all her life living in semi-rural places like Ponteland, Castle Eden and Durham and for many years ran the local Pony Club which was a charity dedicated to children and their ponies. Her work has always involved being with people which she has enjoyed enormously.
Heather's mum sadly passed away in 2018, while caring for her mum she became aware of the lack of good care for older people in the area. Not long after that, she joined Home Instead Newcastle as a Recruiter and Community Services Representative, devoting her time to become involved with services assisting the elderly and those at home caring for them. She was involved in community projects, charitable events and became a Dementia Champion.
Her passion for helping local older people was growing and when she discovered that Home Instead were selling Hexham and the Tyne Valley area, she jumped at the chance to set up her own branch.
Here she feels proud and privileged to serve the local older people in our community, with assistance from her enthusiastic and dedicated Staff.
She was born and has lived in the Tyne Valley area all of her life, she is very familiar with the local community in which she lives and with the people she supports.
Angela raised her family and cared for senior family members prior to starting her career in care. She has worked in both the community and in care homes. During this time Angela has gained extensive experience in caring for older people.
Her role involves ensuring all of our clients are well cared for while supporting them in the comfort of their own homes.
Angela is based in our Hexham office where she also supports our growing team of Care Professionals. Her aim is to ensure the quality of care we provide is consistent of the highest standard.
Sarah is a Sunderland girl living in the local Northumbrian Village of Prudhoe with her fiance Jamie and her five adorable fur babies.
Sarah is passionate about caring for older people, she loves her scheduling role and is dedicated to her training role where she nurtures and trains our new Care Professionals.
She is always looking for fresh training opportunities to broaden her knowledge which she then shares enthusiastically with our wonderful team.
Outside of work Sarah continues to educate herself and has recently enrolled herself on a Health and Social Care degree course, she is going to be a very busy lady.
