Such a friendly and lovely team of people I have met, I'm a service user and I've never felt so at ease with the carers I have met so far. They have made sure I'm well looked after and I've no worries about what care I will receive. Fantastic company

We started using Home Instead for my wife to have someone with her while I was out two mornings a week. This has worked out very well since it commenced in February. the Care Pros always arrive on time and provide help in washing and dressing etc. Very pleased with the service.

Thank you Home Instead for supporting our family with our Mother's care. Your staff are compassionate, respectful, flexible and friendly. I have been impressed with how professional everyone is and from the first moment I contacted the company I have felt listened to and comforted. My Mum is happy to see her carer and we appreciate how well you have matched your staff to her requirements. I have recommended Home Instead to a neighbour without any hesitation because I know you value your clients and put their needs first. A professional company that feels like family.

Mum has been supported by Care Pros from Home Instead since November 2024. We have found the office team to be very helpful and responsive to changes in Mum's requirements, even at short notice. Mum has enjoyed the companionship of the Care Pros and the help they have given her to continue to lead the life she wants.

Don't use this company. I remember the Client lead of South Glasgow visiting our home making big promises and selling a dream of her staff who'd apparently free me up from my caring duties and they'd do things like "make a pot of soup" and "let me go for hobbies or a coffee and get me back to being me" Reality? Staff who turn up and do nothing for the hour or shout on me to assist them or leave me to do all the work - none of them brought the required PPE like aprons or gloves so I had to provide them. Final insult was the Service manager saying after an hour long meeting she agreed we'd had bad service and would sort it we're still weeks later receiving invoices for payments - Avoid avoid avoid. Zero stars for everything which the website doesn't allow!

We needed to call on Home Instead at very short notice. The service was excellent; in less than 24 hours, a visit was arranged to assess what we needed and the service started on the day we requested. The team are professional, kind and attentive, treating everyone as an individual and matching the care delivered to what the client needs. I would absolutely recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for care at home.

I have received support from Home Instead for more than four years. Over this period, I have always found the Care Team to be extremely professional and caring. All the caregivers have been well-trained, helpful, and friendly and I look forward to their visits. The company has also tried to provide a consistent team of caregivers which has helped me greatly with my rehabilitation exercises. I would have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead.

My mum was not keen to have help at home, but now she seems so much happier and content, she has the same regular carer, who is lovely and kind and gets on well with my mum. We had to change one of the days and this meant a new carer on that day, mum is also very happy with the new day and carer. This has taken the stress off the family, we were constantly worrying about her managing since my dad died last year. It has helped us all get some balance back in our lives.

A great help to my mum. One staff member in particular is excellent - she has a chat while doing her chores and Mum looks upon her as a friend. Reliable and always on time Also very flexible as Mum's needs have changed.
12 March 2024
The carer was very professional and did the cleaning to a very high standard. I was very pleased. They also have a friendly manner and took the time to chat with me which was nice and very much appreciated. During my time with this agency I have had work done by three of their staff and they have all been very professional with a cheery manner. The office staff are easy to get on with and take time to understand my needs and how they could be matched to a member of staff. I feel valued by the office staff and the staff that come to visit me. They take the time to understand what I want and how I want it delivered. Nobody seems to rush but instead they get on with the work but take the time to talk to me and make me feel wanted. I gave them advanced notice that my care needs would change over the holiday period which allowed them to schedule additional visits. That worked well.

I live some distance from my mother, who was determined to live independently despite complex challenges, and I engaged Home Instead to visit her a few times a week to support her and came to rely on them from a distance. The agency offered her excellent care, in often challenging circumstances, and kept in touch with me regularly to keep me informed about my mother's needs as they developed and stepped in to support when I reported my own observations to them. She formed close bonds with her carers and they repeatedly thought of new and interesting ways to support her as her needs grew and demonstrated great kindness and patience. The agency was also incredibly supportive to me, offering reassurance and assistance from a distance, when my mother's situation grew more difficult to manage after two years, including tailored ways to continue supporting her. Based on our family experience, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Care for our elderly mother had to be arranged at short notice and Home Instead have provided an excellent service. The care team have been very efficient, friendly and helpful which has been reassuring both for our mother and ourselves.
22 February 2023
My aunt started out resistant to even having carers coming in. But she was won over by their gentle care and genuine concern for her. All of the carers were lovely and under their care, she thrived. They all went the extra mile to see to her needs before leaving. And when incidents arose outside her care sessions, nothing was too much for Home Instead to sort out in a calm and caring way to avoid drama and to make things simple for her family who lives very far away. When she fell and had to be admitted to the hospital, one of the staff stayed with her for hours until she was admitted to the hospital, even though there were the usual inevitable delays. I can't recommend them highly enough.

As an elderly person living alone, I have been very happy with the support provided by Home Instead carers. Nothing is too much trouble for them, whether helping with household tasks or taking me out for appointments, shopping or just for coffee and cake! Everyone is helpful and friendly and I really look forward to their visits.
04 January 2023
Very happy with Home Instead. They took time to find out what type of care was needed with a personal visit. Tried to send the same two carers when possible which makes a great difference. Would use them again.
21 October 2022
We are absolutely delighted with the care team at Home Instead. My mum has excellent carers, some of whom go above and beyond to ensure she has the best life possible. I cannot recommend them highly enough and am very grateful for the care and support they provide.

My experience of the standard of care and expertise regarding this company is gathered from my contact with the company over the last two years. I am my wife's main carer, and therefore, careful to ensure her welfare at all times. I am therefore able to state that despite difficulties encountered with the Covid period, Home Instead have made every endeavour to maintain a regular professional standard. Whenever any concerns are raised, they make every effort to resolve them. As you can imagine, as an 86 year old, this has lifted a great weight of my shoulders in being able to have confidence, knowing my wife is well cared for.

I am extremely delighted with my Caregiver, very professional and, is a "breath of fresh air". Gets on very well with my husband too. I have been allocated a named contact, in order to keep up-to-date with any changes.
06 February 2022
I use Home Instead to provide care for my mum and husband. I cannot praise the carers enough. Each and every one of them are fantastic and I know they truly care about my mum and husband and want the best for them, as I do. It’s down to them with the support they provide to me as well, that I can keep my mum at home which is what she would want as well as our family and I couldn’t do it on my own. I would without hesitation recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for care.

All carers have been extremely friendly and caring; they understand the needs of my husband. they seem to enjoy the activities and understand the limitations that my husband has. They are always punctual, and my husband looks forward to their visits.
