I am writing to thank you and your caregivers for the all the support and compassion you have shown towards my aunt and uncle who both suffer from Alzheimer’s. At the beginning of the year, I was considering residential care due to their confusion and forgetfulness, and an incident where my aunt overdosed on her medication. The care agency at the time was failing in their duty by sending a myriad of different personnel, which only added to their confusion.
Home Instead was recommended by a friend, so I felt I had nothing to lose by making a quick phone call. Not such a quick call as it turned out. Within ten minutes you ticked all my boxes and I knew I was talking to the right people. After an hour we set up a meeting, and the rest is history as they say.
It’s an absolute pleasure to deal with such professional, caring, trustworthy and kind people. I feel you have given my aunt and uncle a new lease of life, which I cannot, thank you for enough.
I would not hesitate in recommending your company to anyone with elderly or vulnerable family members who require the peace of mind, as I do, knowing their nearest and dearest are being well looked after in their own familiar surroundings. - Mr Y, Chesterfield
