At Home Instead Croydon & Dulwich, care isn’t just a job, it’s a relationship. Whether it’s supporting independence at home, sharing a laugh, or being there during challenging times, our Care Professionals make a real difference in people’s lives. But don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients and their families have recently said.

“They are always professional, very caring…”

Janine, the niece of a client, shared:

“They are always professional, very caring and will go the extra mile to ensure that all her needs are met… A recent example of this was changing the locks on my aunt’s front door, which was carried out by Home Instead’s handyman. The high quality of care that my aunt receives allows her to remain in her home, which is what she currently wishes to do.”

“Over the moon…”

Christine, a client, was full of praise for her Care Professional:

“I am over the moon with my carer… she really cleans my flat and if I want anything (coffee) she makes it when she comes. Thank you all for the wonderful service I am getting.”

“The world comes to me.”

Another client, said:

“I find the help I get is supportive and excellent… I look forward to the help and company. I love that the ladies come from all over. I say, ‘The world comes to me.’ I am so glad that I found Home Instead, it is my life, and support system.”

“We are very happy with the care…”

One daughter of a client shared:

“One staff member has provided outstanding service and we are very grateful to her for all her help and advice.”

“We always felt comfortable and confident…”

One family member told us:

“They looked after my in-laws through the last 5 years of their life… enabling them to stay in their home despite finally needing 24-hour care… nothing was too much trouble. Our mind was at ease knowing they would be well looked after and happy.”
