We are over the moon at how happy dad is. When we speak to him he really expresses how much he likes all his team and how they help. We truly believe that if it wasn’t for Home Instead then dad may not be here with us now. They have made all the difference. Thank you for all the support.Mr S - Fareham
I arrived at dad’s house today and just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone. Dad is doing so well. Without these lovely ladies doing such a great job my dad would not be in such a good place. I really felt like I was coming home today just as it used to be when my mum was with us. Thank you for giving that back to us. You have made a big difference not only to dad’s life but also mine; I’m totally confident he is happy and as safe as we can make him.Mrs N - Fareham
Please can you pass on my thanks to all of her team who were so supportive in caring for my mum. The standard of care they provided was outstanding and I couldn’t have been happier to have them working with us to help her. She had an extremely skilled, compassionate and kind team looking after her and I cannot thank them enough for their work.Ms M - Gosport
- They are simply one of the very best care companies in the marketplace. A standard for the others to aspire to. Quality in all they do.
Mr D - Fareham
Thank you so much for your outstanding and reliable service. Having changed from another agency who I felt were unreliable and had no initiative. I cannot begin to tell you what a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I would not hesitate to recommend you to future clients.Ms B - Wickham
The service and care our father has received in the past two years has been much appreciated to meet his special care needs. Home Instead has been exemplary in all aspects of their support. We would have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead to others requiring quality care and understanding in the comfort of your own home.Mr W - Fareham
My mother has been having home care from Home Instead for the past 8 months. It has been a complete success, the carers are all very kind, truly care and have terrific empathy. Having Home Instead has brought back a sparkle to mum, from their stimulation and totally enhanced her quality of life.Ms O - Titchfield
We cannot thank you and your team enough for the amazing way you have all looked after our mum for the last year or so of her life. It is thanks to the care that you all gave to her that she was able to be in her own home, as she wanted, right to the end. In the last week of mum’s life we were overwhelmed with the care and love the team showed to her.Mr T - Fareham
- I would like to thank all the Home Instead team for the excellent care and advice you have provided for my brother over the last two years. Your team have contributed very much to improving his quality of life. I would like to wish you all happiness and success in the future.
Mr C - Fareham
I am extremely happy with the help and care shown to me by each of the carers that come to me. They are all very kind, caring and offer to do so much to help me in the house. They have all helped me adjust to my much reduced way of life and have given me every support in my mental and physical well being and built up my confidence. I can’t thank them enough.Mrs E - Fareham
I wanted to write and thank you and the wonderful ladies who have been caring for my aunt over the past few months. The support, help and company she has received has been outstanding and has helped her immensely during a difficult period in her life coping with bereavement and dementia. I know she will miss her team of lovely ladies who have become her friends.Ms R - Lee on Solent
- I am very impressed so far with the care and companionship mum is receiving from her team. They are each going that extra mile to get closer to mum and it is giving me real peace of mind. Thank you so much.
Mrs M - Gosport
- Both carers show my mother dignity and respect and try their best to fulfil her individual needs. They understand the concept of supporting the whole family. The care received is very much appreciated.
Mrs L - Portchester
The quality of service is reflected in the effort Home Instead make to get the right staff. The carers are top quality and just what we require and in the team from Home Instead that is just what we have got.Mr D - Fareham
Thank you so much for all your professional care for “M” and support to me. Helping me to find my way when things looked impossible.Mrs F - Fareham
I am writing on behalf of my husband and myself and we both agree that the team of carers from Home Instead are excellent both in the care they give my husband and their overall willingness and kindness in all situations. Their help is invaluable to us, their time keeping is impeccable and we feel very fortunate to have found this very reliable firm in our hour of need.Mrs R - Stubbington
- We are thrilled with the company and how they have handled the current situation by making sure that all the team have the supplies they need so they are still able to visit us both. Home Instead is wonderful and we couldn’t be happier with them.
Mrs W - Portchester
- I can’t thank you enough for all the care, help and support you have given to R and H. They think so much of you as do I and the rest of the family. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Mrs G-H - Portchester
All the carers that came were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were all keen to help and do anything to make things easier for my wife. They are not doing this just as a job, but they really care. They also arrived exactly at the agreed time and left when we were happy we didn’t need anything else. First-class – 10 out of 10.David U (Husband of Client)
- Very good and excellent service.
Alan E (Son of Client)
- A team of nine excellent carers has been supporting my father at home since he returned there after several months of convalescing in a nursing home. He is delighted with their support, without which he could not live at home on his own, and they have helped him become more independent. Thoroughly recommended.
A S (Son of Client)
- It took us a while to find the right care agency to take care of my parents. Home Instead was more expensive than most but was worth every penny. My parents liked the carers who came and Mum was soon happy to let them deal with her personal care needs. I was relieved that the carers spent time getting to know my parents and were regularly able to feedback any concerns to us. Always punctual and stayed the allocated time. We too felt supported and I can’t speak highly enough of the whole service, carers or management.
C E (Daughter of Client)
- Home Instead (Fareham and Gosport) have been supporting my mother to remain living independently in her own home full-time since September.We have found all the caregivers fantastic with Mum. They not only make sure she is fed and safe but also take the time to do lovely things with her, from taking her for a walk or out around the charity shops to running a bubble bath or doing her nails. It’s been such a smooth transition from occasional to daily care, and Mum really looks forward to the visits. It’s such a relief to have their support, and particularly, knowing they will listen and respond to any changes needed. I really can’t recommend them highly enough.
S L (Daughter of Client)
- I am very happy with all my carers. They’re very helpful and look after my needs very well. Always on time and they get to know all my needs. Have built up a great relationship with all of them and I enjoy our chats.
M C (Client)
- This service is a prime example of the adage; you get what you pay for. Helpful, cheerful, friendly assistance coupled with real reliability. These helpers say that they will take on any reasonable task that one may need, this lot really mean it.
R H (Client)
Home instead is everything we had been looking for. An incredibly personal service and the care taken in choosing the perfect carer was phenomenal. They listened so carefully to the brief and were highly sensitive to a delicate situation whereby my parents were reluctant to accept that they needed some help. The carer came in as a housekeeper and gently started doing a few jobs with my mother and is rapidly morphing into the companion and friend that we need long term. It is an exceptional organisation and all of our family couldn’t be more grateful.Mrs H - Portchester
Tailored Home Care in Portchester
We love receiving feedback from clients and their loved ones. One client’s daughter commented: “Several phone calls, initial visits (scheduled at my convenience so I could be present) and follow-up phone calls have meant the care going to my mother is also extended to myself.” Another client’s daughter shared: “The carers treated my dad with the utmost respect and I can’t thank them enough for all they did for my lovely dad, myself, and my sister.” These testimonials from homecare.co.uk highlight how our attentive and compassionate care makes a real difference for clients and their families.
