Review from Patricia D (Friend of Client) published on 1 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I came across Home Instead when looking for someone to provide regular companionship for him, who is in residential care with dementia.
Home Instead has been magnificent in the last year, some specific examples are:
from the outset, the Home Instead director had very close contact with myself (who has the greatest knowledge), so that he could gain an understanding of my friend's needs, interests and cognitive ability, thus tailoring a specific programme for visits. There was much attention to detail and a genuine interest in my friend. We have regular reviews to note changes.
Information about the client/visits is held in an app which is easy to use and constantly updated.
Continuity is brilliant, always the same person, always punctual, and l am always informed of any changes to the timetable. Immediate feedback on how my friend is, especially if any matters of concern are detected both to myself and the care home.

I cannot recommend this company enough, hence a 5-star rating throughout.

Home Instead has given me huge peace of mind since I know that my father is taken care of. The three-month review process ensures my father remains at the heart of the care plan as his condition changes. Very professional company.

My mother-in-law says "support from Home Instead has changed my life they have become trusted friends".

As her daughter-in-law, I no longer have to worry that she will be unable to provide a good cooked lunch.

Reply from Grainne Sheehy, Director at Home Instead (Braintree)

Thank you very much, it has been a pleasure to support with the lunch preparation in such a welcoming home.

Amanda SchofieldJob Title:Registered Care ManagerJoined: 2021
I came to the Home Instead Braintree, Sudbury, and Colne Valley office with over 30 years in the care industry. I have worked in both care homes and domiciliary care and my varied experience have taught me that enabling older people to stay in their own home is a hugely rewarding job.
I have lived in Essex all my life and more recently in Braintree and am very proud to have helped some of our clients engage in community events again after such a long lockdown.

I lead our team of Care Professionals in an open, honest, and transparent way and strive to give them the support they need to deliver outstanding care.
