We have been pleased to have enjoyed a weekly 3 hour visit from the Home Instead team for the last year. The system is well set up, prepared and managed , and we were extremely happy with the carers who came to our home - they were prompt, thoughtful, cheerful and highly professional. The two
regulars in particular deserve special comment: Catherine is a bubbly, very caring individual who always cheered my wife up, went the extra mile and was incredibly relaxed and helpful; and Alison, a highly experienced and extremely capable lady. We are very grateful for the assistance provided and highly recommend the organisation for top class care in the home.

My experience with all of the staff and management from Home Instead has been nothing short of amazingly good!! I am so pleased to say that I will be a happy client for a long time to come.

Very respectful, caring carers.
We have found Home Instead to provide an excellent service.
01 July 2025
Our experience of care following a spell in hospital and a care home had been a harrowing one and I had lost faith in the adult social care system, however, a particular lady and her team at homeinstead have more than renewed my faith.
They have been fantastic! from our initial meeting with this
lady to the marvelous team of carers she introduced us to and implemented.
The carers are genuinely caring people who go above and beyond in providing quality care.
My husband was extremely fragile emotionally when he returned home but within a few weeks the carers have assisted me in bringing him back to his old self. He enjoys a laugh and joke with them and having consistency with the same team has helped enormously.
I would not hesitate in recommending homeinstead in the future.

I've been a client with Cheltenham Home Instead for around 6 months now and there is only one word to describe my carers ' Excellent'. They are kind and have a great sense of humour, nothing is too much trouble. They all come in with a smile it's a pleasure to have them visit.

Booking is never so easy. The cancellation window of 2 weeks is probably too short.
Carers are very good but sometimes the quality of cleaning isn't the highest. Other care is usually excellent.
06 January 2025
Some staff are excellent. Some are rather lazy.
Do not like having so many new people.

We couldn't be more pleased with the care given to our family members by Home Instead. We've had some difficulties with changes in the level of care needed, hospital stays etc and everyone involved has been very accommodating.
Due to distances, it's hard for the family to visit often enough for our
parents' needs but we know they're in good hands.
We very much appreciate the level of care and communication from the manager, which have both been outstanding.

The whole family appreciates the care and attention provided for Mum by the ladies from Home Instead. They have been visiting twice a week for two years ever since Mum started with slight dementia, difficulties walking and caring for herself. The day always starts off with laughter and Mum and Dad
look forward to their visits. All are smart, reliable, caring and competent, and what is very important is that they are good fun. They are also quick to spot anything that might need checking by the district nurse. We are grateful for their efficiency and their cheerful attitude.

It is so nice to have a real meal traditionally cooked and tasting as it should. The staff knew what they were about and quickly found where everything was and had no problems making a meal. They had no problems with a strange kitchen and the equipment in it. Overall, an excellent start to the
beginning of the relationship.
29 April 2024
The carers could not have been better. Always trying to do their very best.
Sharp and to the point!

Having suffered from Parkinson’s for several years, I had a spell at Christmas 2023 of respite care. As I live on my own, returning home was a move I couldn’t have made without the provision of care provided by Home Instead. Daily visits by their caregivers have subsequently made it possible to live
and thrive in my own home.
24 April 2024
The carers are very professional and friendly. I find it difficult to cope with blanks on my schedule and not knowing who will be helping me on that morning, especially when two arrive instead of the person I was expecting without notice.
24 April 2024
Overall I am very happy with the service Home Instead provide. All of the carers/managers are lovely and do an excellent job. Occasionally, this does not work out but I think this is down to the carer and what they want to do.
If you have had issues with carers before it might be helpful to let
the client know and the reasons so all parties are aware and something could be put in place to reduce stress. Better communication is vital so all parties are clear about the rules and boundaries expected in the home.
22 April 2024
A very professional service who I highly recommend. Staff are caring and helpful. You feel your loved ones are in safe hands. The rota can be flexible for care so last minute changes are not a problem. Staff are well presented and understand individual needs.
22 April 2024
All carers are experienced, professional and friendly, and carry out their duties with the minimum of fuss in a timely manner. Over the last 12 months, I have seen many different carers and they have all been of a high standard.
26 September 2023
We were lucky enough to find Home Instead by pure chance when my mother suddenly needed full-time care, as a result of her dementia. Home Instead have been caring for my mother for nearly two years and in those two years the care has been exemplary. We have met some exceptional people who have cared
for my mother beautifully. They have sung to her, played musical instruments, read to her, got responses from her that we, as her family, have not always been able to achieve, painted her nails and done her hair. We have had consistent carers whose tenderness in their care and attention have taken our breath away.
I really cannot recommend Home Instead highly enough.

I was in a very low condition when I first met the two Home Instead (Cheltenham & Cotswolds) carers. Since their help with washing, physio exercises and many other ways. To have my bed made is joy. My whole body does respond.
My two carers are likes friends, are always helpful and encouraging and I
am pleased to have them in my house.
Next birthday I will be 93 and I look forward to many more turns thanks to Home Instead

Mum needed help to ensure she is eating 3 meals a day and also help with showering. She has developed a very good relationship with her main carer who really goes above and beyond to ensure Mother eats and that her house is kept beautifully clean and tidy. This continuity of care is so important.
