I cannot thank the carers enough for looking after my mum for just over the last year. They spent quality time with her, chatting, playing cards and even bringing a fan round when it was warm, as well as doing the things that absolutely had to be done. They even visited Mum when she moved to her care home, to help her settle in. Thank you to the whole team for your support, it has been very much appreciated.

We were extremely grateful to Home Instead for putting care in place very quickly when our mother was discharged from hospital. Within a few days, they had assessed her needs working closely with the NHS team and put a support package together with highly competent and experienced caregivers. It has enabled mum’s return home to go smoothly and helped her get back on her feet quickly. The caregivers are lovely people and mum enjoys having them in the home and also importantly it helps the rest of the family to know that we have expert help at hand.

Home Instead has provided absolutely invaluable support to my Mum since my father’s death in July 2020. They not only make it possible for Mum to live independently in her home, but also provide me and my brothers with peace of mind that Mum is safe and coping when we cannot be with her every day. Mum’s carer is so good and writes a daily report based on the care plan. She will also forward messages if there are any particular concerns. I would definitely recommend Home Instead to anyone needing care for their relative.

I cannot express enough how amazing Home Instead have been in looking after my mum. We changed carers in September 2022, and honestly do not know why we didn’t change sooner – there is no comparison. From the initial meeting, they put our minds at rest and have really made mum feel comfortable and valued, and her carers have become genuine friends who she really looks forward to seeing every day. I have even been away for a couple of short breaks and know that she will be totally looked after while I am away and that everything will be covered. I can always rely on them. It’s the kindness that the carers show that really stands out – as if she were one of their family. I would not hesitate in recommending Home Instead to anyone.
Thank you!

My Dad has recently passed away and I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all of the Home Instead team from the carergivers to the admin team, nothing was ever too much trouble for them all. My Dad had carers for several years and they became friends to him, he looked forward to their visits and enjoyed the fact that they were on time, he knew who was coming and the fact that they stayed an hour meant that they had time to chat, joke ,do wordle with him, collect his prescription, water the garden cooking, washing etc. This was a complete turnaround from when he first had to have care and he was very reluctant to have strangers in his house, and so I am writing this review to reassure others in the same situation. From my perspective, it was comforting to know that Dad was so happy with his care team and when I had to cancel/re-install care due to hospital stays nothing was too much trouble when I contacted the office.
So a big heartfelt thank you to you all.

Home Instead was strongly recommended to us by the local NHS community matron following some health issues that my mum was experiencing. It was soon clear as to why.
Home Instead has been able to support Mum in a variety of ways, most importantly, with personal care and companionship, especially where I have experienced my own significant health issues. Mum has a great rapport and enjoys the support of our caregivers, and we do not know where we would be without them. The mobile app provides us with information on how Mum is and actions that we need to take e.g. medication issues. Home Instead has been instrumental in helping Mum to continue to live contentedly and safely at home.
The whole ethos of Home Instead is to have care and companionship at the heart of everything they do, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs care support like my mum needs.

- Will my loved one have to give up their pet now they have been diagnosed with dementia?
When someone is diagnosed with dementia, it is often assumed that keeping their beloved pet is impossible. This is not necessarily the case. Studies have shown that pets have actually been known to increase the health of those with dementia while providing them with a friend to spend their time with. Owning a cute and cuddly companion can even be an essential part of their daily routine. Before jumping to any conclusions, it may be beneficial to review all of your options when it comes to this important decision.
An unexpected diagnosis can be frightening or difficult, and some might discover that they want their pet to remain by their side. After considering the following factors, you may find that there are other alternatives to immediately giving up a best friend.
Discover More - How can I help my loved one when they have dementia?
For people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, lack of stimulation and boredom can be one of the most frustrating things. It’s important to provide activities that engage and bring pleasure to people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Stimulating activities can help keep them in high spirits and prevent them from developing depression, whilst lessening anxiety and irritability.
Activities should aim to:
- Stir memories and allow them to reminisce about their life
- Foster emotional connections with others – contact with others is vital
- Encourage self-expression
- Make them feel more engaged with life
- Help them feel productive
- My loved one with Dementia has begun to develop aggressive behaviour, can you give me any advice?
If you have a relative with dementia – perhaps you are their carer – you may be aware that at some point you might find yourself dealing with aggressive behaviour from them. This is a prospect that many people fear, but there are ways to cope with such challenging behaviours.
Discover More - Are there warning signs that I or my loved one are getting dementia?
The early stages of dementia are not always obvious, and symptoms and problems might develop slowly. To add to these difficulties, early signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia are frequently easy to dismiss as a normal sign of ageing. However, if you know what to look out for, you can keep an eye on yourself and your loved ones and identify symptoms early. This will allow you to get the medical advice early on and work out care ahead of time.
Discover More - This is my loved ones first Christmas after being diagnosed with dementia, is there any advice you can give?
For a person with dementia, Christmas poses challenges that include disruption to a routine, confusing changes to décor and the layout of a home, and the pressure to be social over extended periods of time. When somebody’s memory or cognitive skills are deteriorating, they will find these tasks especially difficult; it is important that they are catered for in the most sensitive ways possible.
By looking at each potential challenge in turn, we have suggested some ways to manage these difficulties and have a successful Christmas without causing your loved one with dementia distress or exacerbating their confusion.

Learn More - Where did the name ‘Alzheimer’s’ come from?
Dr. Alois Alzheimer is credited with discovering Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Alzheimer was a well-known and popular German physician and researcher working in the early 1900s. Physicians and scientists at the time had a fascination with the human brain and were studying it to better understand how it worked.
Dr. Alzheimer met Auguste Deter, the first person who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Auguste told Dr. Alzheimer, “I have forgotten myself”. He brought her to the doctor when she started to have memory loss and delusions. Dr. Alzheimer studied her for several years, noting her decline.
Because of Dr. Alzheimer’s discovery, the disease was named after him.
