My mother has been a client of Home Instead for two years. The staff who visit have always been kind, considerate and professional. She can be difficult, but they treat her with care and dignity.
The other staff are always helpful and organised. Sympathetic to change in the care plan and offers helpful advice. Again, very professional.
W E (Son of Client) ~ June 2025
From the commencement of our involvement with Home Instead, being the initial fact finding phone call, our initial meeting with the Client Experience Lead, the care givers and the Service Review appointment, we have experienced professional, kind people, that gave my brother and myself the piece of mind that we have made the correct decision in having Home Instead involved with the care of our mother.
Review from Karen N (Daughter of Client) ~ July 2025
Good support when coming out of the hospital, guided to having reduced support gradually so that by the end of the booked service be able to manage by myself. Always cheerful and helpful. I appreciated the help when needed and all their excellent care.
Thank you to all members of staff, including the office staff for the service provided.
E H (Client) ~ May 2025
The 3 carers in the team looking after my husband are all friendly, kind and efficient. Totally reliable and conscientious too. Home Instead organisers and office staff are helpful and cheerful, always willing to arrange additional help and visits if we need them. We are very glad we chose ‘Home Instead’.
L W (Wife of Client) ~ May 2025
Home Instead responded quickly to my initial approach, gave clear details of their service, backed up by an introductory visit and good paperwork. Since then office response has been prompt and happy to answer queries. They also check regularly that the service I receive is what I want. My care giver is super. She is prompt, neat and polite. She respects my personal space and my “strange” ways of doing some things, and willingly responds to any tasks I need help with.
L S (Client) ~ May 2025
After being treated poorly by another provider and let down on many occasions, I was very nervous about any new provider. However, Homestead soon put me at ease, ensuring I was happy and confident, even went above the call of duty when my old supplier just dropped my help at no notice, they stepped in to make sure I was ok.
The introductory service was brilliant, ensuring all my needs were addressed, ensured I met all the carers first so no one was a stranger, they checked up ever day or so to make sure it was going well. First class.
The Carers I have are fantastic, I wouldn’t want anyone else. The support staff are just amazing, always there to help and assist when needed.
Best thing I’ve done was move to Homestead.
Bruce C (Client) ~ Feb 2025
The ladies who have been coming to me over the past several months have been superb. They do everything cheerfully and efficiently.
Gertrude D (Client) ~ Feb 2025
Can’t fault Home Instead carers and managers.
Both ladies that cared for my dad were really good and so kind to my Dad who is suffering from dementia and can be quite difficult at times. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about care in the home.
A S (Daughter of Client) Jan 2025
Home Instead staff always friendly and helpful. Always have time for my husband, never skimp on time.
We are both very happy with the service and the staff we talk to in the office and see at our home.
C T (Wife of Client) ~ Jan 2025
The small team of carers have taken great care to understand my dad’s needs and have turned him around from not wanting the service to wholeheartedly welcoming them. The app is really helpful in giving us details of how the visit went and communication with the office is responsive and efficient.
As daughters, we can relax knowing his needs are being met and he is much happier now. We can be his daughters again.
Gail M (Daughter of Client) ~ Jan 2025
Each of you, in your own unique way, have made such a positive contribution. Helping dad to stay in his own home, maintaining his dignity and independence – which is so important to him.
Thank you. Never under-estimate the impact that you gave and the difference that you make.
Thank you for showing him kindness, for your detailed notes, helping us to recognise his needs changing – just everything you’ve all done.
