My experience is very satisfactory. My care is efficient and very dependent.
30 May 2025
I contacted Home Instead when my husband was at home with dementia, but was able to carry on a conversation, to request a carer to act as a companion twice a week. We were introduced to a personable gentleman, who was able to bring out my husband's love of communicating with others. As his dementia progressed, he went into a care home and the same carer was able to visit him there, until he went into hospital and finally received palliative care at home. We decided on 24 hour care and a dedicated team looked after him with loving care until he died. I cannot recommend Home Instead highly enough. The carers are professional, highly trained and motivated by their wish to help others.

Home Instead has supported my son for the past 3 years and have proved to be the best care agency ever to support my son. Home Instead is very reliable. They are good timekeepers. They are punctual. They care about my son and always strive to give him the support he needs with a smile and always considering his safety. Home Instead is easy to contact, there is always a friendly voice to quickly answer the phone and they are always extremely polite, helpful and compassionate. Just what a carer needs, especially in the distressing times. For my son, Home Instead has been excellent in providing an appropriate support worker, something other providers just couldn't manage, so for this I am very grateful. Both my son and I, definitely made the right choice with Home Instead, so thank you to all the team in Calderdale.

Home instead have cared for both my father & mother over the last few years & now provide care for my mother alone. They have treated my parents with dignity & the care has been of high quality. Home instead are friendly & communicate well. It is easy to contact the team & they do their best to accommodate requests. The team help to solve any problems & redress any concerns or worries which may occur. They are professional & I'm confident that should there be anything I need to know about the situation with the care of my mother or her home environment I will be informed. I am very happy with the care that is provided from the team for my mother.

I engaged Home Instead at a time when my aunt's memory was declining quickly, increasing confusion was apparent and her ability to support herself with everyday things like cooking, staying hydrated and taking medications had all but stopped. The care team at Home Instead have all been really thoughtful, professional and kind. Not just in how they undertake the tasks they carry out on each visit, but in taking time to sit and listen and chat to my Aunt. I have nothing but praise for them and would recommend them without hesitation.

In July 2024 my mother finally had to give up her own home and go into permanent care at the age of 97, but for just over two years prior to that Home Instead looked after her at home. At first she had one or two calls a day, but then needed increasing levels of care as time went on and her physical and mental abilities declined. All those who cared for her at her own home were kind, caring and thoughtful, keeping her safe and well through some difficult times. Some of them were exceptional and went beyond the call of duty. We shall remain thankful to them for everything they achieved.

Home Instead take excellent care of my dad. Dad is nearly 90 and has Alzheimer's. I live abroad and the Home Instead team make sure Dad is OK and give me good advice on how I can improve his life and make sure he is safe in his own home. They are 100% reliable and really get to know Dad. The reports on each visit make me feel reassured about how Dad is doing. The carers take Dad to appointments, which he loves, as well as out for lunch. The Home Instead monthly event is also something dad really enjoys (especially when he wins a prize!). The office team are super helpful and arrange Dad's visits around his commitments. I'm very glad I found Home Instead, they do what it says in their name!

Cannot fault the care and the way it has been organised and some difficult situations dealt with. Professional, kind and caring. Most of all the management and the staff have been so flexible and worked with the family to ensure the right care and the right carers for the person being cared for.

We want to say a huge thank you to the wonderful carers and professional management team who looked after our dad. Dad had late onset Alzheimer's but we knew he was desperate to stay in his own home. Home Instead - who had looked after my mum up to her passing - were our first choice for help. Nothing was too much trouble. The manager came to the house to meet Dad and the immediate family and we discussed what Dad's likes and dislikes were. They took great interest in finding out about Dad’s life, his jobs, travel, different homes and most importantly to us they were kind, respectful and caring. We agreed on a small number of carers to cover the 14 visits a week that we had booked - a visit in the morning and one at teatime. The care he received was first class - his main carer was brilliant at encouraging Dad to maintain a good personal care routine and change his clothes regularly. The carers were patient, and professional and took a genuine interest in chatting with Dad. He has passed now.

I cannot thank Home Instead Calderdale enough for their tender and professional care they afforded to our dear family friend who recently passed on at a very advanced age. Over a period of several years, Home Instead looked after her every day and gave her the reassurance of continuity, dependability and trust. All the accolades you could apply to their attentive service we would have no hesitation in affirming to be true. You could always speak to a carer in attendance and get updates on her well-being. When members of our family visited we saw first-hand how well she was cared for and how neat and tidy her house was kept. You get the exact service described in their promotional literature and I would recommend them to anyone in need. Thank you for all that you and your team, past and present, did for our old family friend. You all went over and above.

My mum has been using Home Instead for quite a while now. I have always been more than happy with the care my mum is getting. The girls that she sees are extremely good with her and, in turn, give me more freedom. If I need to ring the office for anything, the staff are all very friendly and take on board our needs. Everything is actioned as our request and I would have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead, Elland to anyone. Thank you for your care.

Home Instead is a brilliant company to deal with and they have such caring staff. Trying to navigate the care system is a bit of a minefield but I’ve had nothing but support from everyone so far. Also, the way the carers look after my dad is wonderful. He’s had one going in every morning since last November and she’s fantastic - so attentive and caring. Another has recently started to carry out a second visit on an evening and although I’ve not met him personally yet, Dad says he’s lovely too. It’s great he has the continuity of seeing the same people everyday and they care for Dad as an individual. It was a bit of a struggle getting him to accept any help to begin with, as he doesn’t like change but I know he feels comfortable with the care he receives and I have nothing but positive things to say about everyone I’ve dealt with so far. Thanks for making a difficult situation easier!

My wife and I do not live near enough to her mother to be able to go there on a daily basis and we rely on the carers' visits to give not just the detailed care she needs but also the daily assurance that she is well. They have been doing this very well for quite some time now and have won her trust and served her well. We ourselves are greatly reassured by what they do.

We have used Home Instead to look after my Dad who has Alzheimer’s. He has now gone into a home, but between March 2023 and June 2023, we used Home Instead to give Mum a break from her caring duties. Home Instead were amazing. The carer came 3 times a week and Dad's not been easy but the carers dealt with him like a pro! All the staff were so helpful and honest and we as a family would definitely recommend Home Instead care. You need to give a month's notice to finish the service, and that’s not always possible if they need to go into a home quickly, that’s the only negative and do understand, but care is so very expensive.

Home Instead cared for my father over a fifteen month period, providing reliable and professional care tailored to his needs at all times. Compassionate carers who go the extra mile to provide care to someone at the end of their life. Supporting their family in ensuring that he remained in his own home, as he wished and providing empathetic care and support to the family during a difficult time.

Home Instead have been looking after Mum for 15 months, they have been a lifeline for our family. They are fantastic, the carers are amazing getting Mum to do things which she wouldn’t do for me. We think of the carers as part of our family. They are very caring and kind and respectful, great sense of humour and willing to go the extra mile. We were worried that they might struggle to get to Mum in the snow but they always got there. Many thanks to all the team. Mum has sadly had to go into a home we just hope the carers are just as good as Home Instead.

We received excellent caring service for which we are most grateful. The carer was very kind and helpful and courteous to my dad and the administrative staff were efficient and extremely helpful and considerate.

Home Instead cared for my mother and then father over a three year period. They were very professional in identifying needs and devising a care plan. They were very reliable and never missed a call (my parents had four a day). When I needed to add calls they were accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone else who finds themselves needing help looking after their parents.

This is a really wonderful organisation. The carers are lovely, patient and professional. The admin team are super, responsive and friendly. I cannot praise them enough for the care they provided to our mum in her last months at home. They certainly afforded our family peace of mind at this time. I would highly recommend them to any family considering home care for a senior loved one. Thank you all again!

My parents really looked forward to visits from the carers at Home Instead Calderdale. Without fail everyone was caring, friendly, cheerful and very practical in dealing with my parents' care needs. They also always turned up on time, which was important when my Dad was at home on his own. On several occasions they went above and beyond to help with minor emergencies and always kept us informed about what was going on. Amazingly they also found time to sit and chat with my parents, which made the visits feel more social than formal care. These are great people and I would highly recommend them.
