I have had several very nice, friendly carers over seven months. We’ve had fun, laughter and deep and meaningful talks as well as very useful jobs done quickly and efficiently by these kind ladies. Many thanks indeed for their careful help but respect for the independence still trying to be maintained by an old lady of 96! Happy days ahead.

Mrs T - Client

Client, Care Professional and their family walking through a sunny field

Absolutely fantastic company caring for my mother who has dementia. So caring and thorough on following up any concerns. They go to great lengths to really get to know the person they care for – their likes, dislikes, what might upset them; anything… and they are always thinking of new ways to keep them engaged and make sure they’re looked after. We cannot fault them and don’t know what we would do without them.

This is a company who cares about their Care Professionals as much as their Clients. It’s a great Company to work for with so much support from everyone: from The Directors and Management, to the office team and other Care Professionals. Nothing is too much trouble, whatever your needs might be. We are one big family.

Such a well organised, caring company. My Dad has received exceptional care, support and sympathy when it was most needed.

Mrs W - Client Family Member

Care Professional pouring a drink and smiling

After a long career with one of the country’s best known corporate companies, I wanted to give back… Since joining Home Instead, I’ve be blown away by the superb quality of the training, the support given to me as a new carer, and the total joy this role gives to me and to those we care for. The office team are so helpful. If you’d like to finish your working day with a smile on your face, take a look at Home Instead Exeter and East Devon.

Jacqui - Home Instead Care Professional

Male Client and Care Professional chatting at the table with a cup of tea

My experience reflects completely the information I was given initially. The monthly visit in the section of companionship has been to my total satisfaction. The experience has provided me with the assurance I was seeking that, should the necessity arise, Home Instead will provide the support needed to enable me to achieve my objective of being able to remain in my home if and when health circumstances change.

Mr L - Client

An elderly woman sitting outside having tea and cake

On the advice of a trusted charity, I contacted Home Instead to see whether they could provide support to our Mum. The office went out of their way to create a care plan to suit. I know that the care has been much appreciated by my mother, and has removed much of the pressure on my brother… I have been delighted with every aspect of the service and would have no hesitation in recommending the Exeter & East Devon office.

Mrs M - Client Family Member

A woman with shoulder-length brown hair smiles while holding a white mug with both hands in a relaxed setting. - Home Instead

Home Instead have changed my life. Just 16 weeks ago I was accepted into the ‘family’ and have not looked back. As someone with no previous experience in the care sector, but who was thinking about it for quite a while, I have been empowered by a fantastic team of amazing people. I was extremely anxious changing my career at the age of 50… no idea why! If you are thinking of joining, come on board, you won’t be disappointed.
