Home Instead have been fantastic with my mum right from the start.
I live some distance from my mum, who has lived on her own for more than 20 years and is very independent.
They put my mum first, got to know her, and spent time talking to her. They helped Mum with what she wanted help with, and built up her trust by listening to her and working to her agenda, not theirs. As Mum’s dementia got worse she relied more upon them but they knew her likes and dislikes and spent time with her so she felt like she was valued and safe.
Great communication, the online portal and daily task notes kept me informed on Mum’s state of mind, health and activities. Appropriate phone calls for urgent contact and emails when less urgent.
When circumstances change e.g. stay in hospital, a deterioration in her dementia, increase in help needed, Home Instead helped me by adapting the services they provided giving me advice and the support I needed.
I would recommend their services without hesitation
Home Instead absolutely came to my rescue! Recommended by a family member who is a community nurse, this wonderful organisation provided the short-term support I needed after several weeks of home nursing. My husband’s health was slowly improving but it was reassuring to have a friendly and competent carer to supervise showering and, to my delight, to carry out light household tasks such as ironing. I was able to leave the house for a short while. Right from the initial home assessment visit, the process was easy, and the staff was professional, caring and friendly. Home Instead was there in our hour of need. Highly recommended – thank you.
Every person is different, which is why no two care plans are the same. We take time to understand your routines, interests and preferences before carefully matching you with Care Professionals who share your personality and values. As needs change, your care can easily adapt, helping you remain independent while giving family members valuable reassurance and peace of mind.
Our local Care Professionals are known for their kindness, reliability and commitment to providing outstanding care. Colin always looks forward to his weekly visit from his Care Professional, Jenny, who accompanies him to The Ring O’ Bells in St Issey for lunch. These regular outings help Colin stay connected to his local community, enjoy familiar surroundings and maintain the routines that mean so much to him. It’s a wonderful example of how companionship can be just as important as practical support, helping people continue living independently and enjoying life at home.

We never cut visits short, and for people needing up to four or five hours of support each day, home care can offer excellent value compared with residential care while allowing you to remain in your own home.
