Home Instead helped care for my father at home for 2 years from January 2024 until December 2025 when we reluctantly had to transfer him to a full time nursing home.
My dads care requirements increased throughout that period and Home Instead responded to his increasing needs and provided stability
and continuity with the individuals who cared for my father.
The care and friendship provided, in particular by A, was exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead to others.

Outstanding care for my mother-in-law while my wife and I were on respite leave. My mother-in-law was so happy with the service that she received that asked specifically that we compliment the carer (Keira) and organisation on the excellent quality of the service they provided.
It is a huge relief
to know that we can go away for periods and leave my mother-in-law in the care of such an excellent carer.

We recently travelled to Fife to attend our sons wedding, I was concerned that on the day of the wedding after carrying out my husbands care needs, showering and dressing etc, that I would have neither the time, or energy, to have time to spend on getting myself ready on such an important day to
us. I contacted Home Instead and was quickly reassured that they could provide help. After an assessment of my husbands needs we were allocated a carer. On the day of the wedding a lovely young lady arrived at our Hotel, she was friendly, caring and efficient. Knowing that my husband was in good hands I was able to have a relaxing morning being pampered and getting myself wedding ready! I cannot recommend Home Instead highly enough, they made such a difference to our day. Thank you so much for making our special day!!

Staff and the Home Care Team provided excellent support and assistance when Dad had to go into hospital and ensured that everything was in place for him on his return. They really did go above and beyond to ensure continuity for Dad and even went to visit him in hospital.
We (the family) are so
grateful for this support. Without this, Dad would have to go into a Care Home.

I received a very positive response from Home Instead when my sister needed support on her discharge from hospital.
After a helpful assessment visit, the care, which she required, was provided very promptly and it was also possible to increase the service, on a temporary basis, when circumstances
changed at short notice.
We found that all members of staff were friendly, informed and efficient in meeting my sister's needs, giving her, and the family, welcome reassurance as she adjusted to being back at home.

Mum has really enjoyed having her carer visit each week. Trips out for a cup of tea, staying in and chatting with her company and also help shopping. Its been highlight of her week.
Something she really looks forward to. My step father has felt the benefit of having this for Mum.
As I live
2 hours away it has taken some pressure off too.

Homeinstead provide support one hour per day on four days per week to take my 90 year old father shopping, do some cleaning, cook some meals and make sure he is well. We have been very pleased with the service and have found the company helpful and willing to go the extra mile to meet my dad's
particular needs.

The carers are all lovely to mum. As a family we are very happy with the level of care mum gets. Mum was a bit reluctant to get help showering but the carers helped her to accept the care and she now looks forward to their visits. They have all been so friendly to her.

My aunt who is age 101 has received care from Home Instead for the past two years. In the main the care she received was very good and the carers were always very helpful to her, I would add that some of the staff were exceptional.
I have no hesitation in recommending the company for the dignity,
personal care and friendliness she was given.

Home Instead East Fife has been supporting my mother-in-law since February 2024. The level of support has far exceeded the expectations of my family and I. From the start, the overall service is highly professional. Every aspect is delivered exactly as promised. But most important are the carers. My
mother-in-law deeply values the companionship and friendship they have all provided. This has made her very happy and contented. As a family, we are deeply grateful.

I have been my husband's carer for quite a number of years as he has quite a few health problems including heart and lung problems. Since December 2022 he was diagnosed with cancer of the liver and no treatment prescribed due to his heart and lung condition. My daughter felt I needed a break and
found out about Home Instead. With their help of 4 hours a day over the 3 days I was away and arranging family support as well my husband was supported very adequately without him feeling any distress resulting in me being able to relax and make the most of the arrangements. Home Instead was an excellent service with a good understanding of the type of support needed to give my husband confidence in the staff and an enjoyable experience.

My care needs are financially supported by my local council and the Independent Living Fund. Ideally, I would employ just one care agency. Realistically...impressed by the care you gave to my mum, I turned to you also for some regular sleep and annual leave cover.
My 'designated lead carer' from
you was thankfully available for both in January. We work well together. She happily tends to my needs without constant instruction and has become increasingly aware of my ever-changing condition, ready to address it accordingly. Caring for someone in their own home is not just a list of tasks. Helping your client enjoy life despite illness and disability is very important. Feeling valued, encouraging and supporting 'my interests' - music making through my piano and my voice - singing helps my impaired lung capacity, being my helping hand whilst I create cakes - all matter to me and I hope to give pleasure to others.

First class service from the ladies who come on a Thursday. After losing my wife, they have filled a gap to the highest standard.

This is the first time I have visited their offices as usually communication is by email.
The manager and staff could not be nicer to me visiting personally.
As to the service our carer gives to Dad, it's very good, attending to any of his needs.
Thanks.

Making memories for a special grandad.
From our first contact with the care manager, we were in safe hands. Our daughter’s wedding was weeks away, we wanted Gran and Grandad there.
The manager captured our requirements in a caring way, she understood the importance of family and came to Grandad’s
house together with her chosen carer.
“What a lovely girl my carer was, she was at my side all day and helped me to enjoy my wedding meal. Gran and I were delighted to be able to spend the day in the hotel, so much better and more memorable than looking at wedding pictures after the event. Please thank her, she was brilliant.”
The carer is passionate about looking after the elderly, showing she cares in so many ways. She managed Grandad out and back from the restrooms, she travelled to and from the wedding with Grandad, making sure both were comfortably in bed before she left them.
We wouldn’t hesitate to return in the times ahead.

The girls are very pleasant and willing. Sometimes I feel they rush through showering and dressing and the bed is often pretty roughly made. All housework jobs are done very well.
14 July 2023
We are having a great experience with Home Instead (East Fife), from our initial visit through to our current carer, they are exceeding all expectations. Long may this continue! Our carer is thoughtful, compassionate, keeps very busy and fits in perfectly with our lifestyle. A real joy to see the
interaction between carer/client each day, especially their initial meeting in a morning. It gives me great joy and confidence to me leaving for my work each day. Thank you.

Home Instead (East Fife) have an excellent bank of carers so could offer great support even when the lead carer wasn't available. They were very flexible and gave great comfort to the family.
They also had availability when others didn't and communication was good.

Home Instead has provided my father with several hours of care over the last two months so I think I am now in a position to provide some feedback. I have found both the caring staff and the management very helpful. The management took time to ask precise and relevant questions in order to gain a
comprehensive understanding of my father's needs, demonstrating not only professionalism but flexibility and concern. They have also returned my calls promptly and taken on board my requests. Despite unknowns related to recruitment and provision of caring staff, they have sorted these matters out within the time frame they initially announced. My father's main carer is competent, friendly, easy to talk to, and experienced. (So far, I cannot comment on the secondary carers as I have yet to meet them). I would recommend this agency.
