My mother had reached the stage at which she needs care / support in the home. I contacted Home Instead because they had looked after my father 6 years ago and that experience had been positive. The office-based personnel were responsive and efficient. Two carers came to meet my mother initially, one of whom had also cared for my father, and this really helped her to feel less apprehensive about ‘new people’ coming into the home.
The schedule that we requested was established and three named carers identified. I am also able to access Mother’s record on their App which enables me to ensure that Mother knows who is coming on a day by day basis.
After 3 weeks, we are very happy with the care provided. Each carer brings their own personality to the role and adds companionship to the tasks that they carry out. Each is friendly and helpful in addition to demonstrating competency and professionalism.
Mary R (Daughter of Client) ~ May 2026
We have been very impressed with the service provided. We needed support for my father in a short space of time and a team has been provided are so helpful, kind and professional. The 3 carers who visit across the course of a week have been consistently excellent. We can’t fault the care that is being provided. It has provided such peace of mind to know that Dad is being so well cared for.
Vicky R (Daughter of Client) ~ May 2026
We cannot thank the team enough for the incredible care, compassion, and support they have shown my nan. From day one, the carers have been nothing short of exceptional – always kind, attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in her wellbeing. They treat her with such dignity, warmth, and respect, and it’s clear they truly care about the people they look after. The love and care they have given her is second to none, and as a family, that means everything to us. Knowing she is in such safe and caring hands gives us huge peace of mind. I also want to recognise the amazing office team, who have been an enormous support to us as a family. They are always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and help with anything we need. Their communication, understanding, and willingness to go above and beyond has made such a difficult journey so much easier. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a dedicated and compassionate team. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone look.

- When is palliative care needed?
Palliative care is an option that your clinical team may suggest if you or a loved one have received a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer, lung disease or Alzheimer’s. Our Care Professionals can provide support that will alleviate discomfort and stress and allow a better quality of life.
- How soon should palliative care begin?
Palliative care can be started at any stage of a serious illness, though it can be recommended to start as early as possible depending on the diagnosis and the treatment required. After finding out what treatments are required you can be easily make an informed decision on when palliative care is needed.
- Is palliative care the same as end of life care?Discover More
Not necessarily. While palliative care can include end of life care, it is certainly not always the case and can last for a longer period of time. Some people are able to live comfortably for many years while receiving palliative care. The focus is always providing support as you need it to allow you to carry on with your daily life within the limits of your condition.
- Will palliative care cause me to lose independence?
Our Care Professionals understand that maintaining your control over your daily life is important. Depending on what care you need for your condition you may need help with a few things or more help with a lot of your usual tasks. The level of help required is likely to change over time, but Home Instead will be there to ensure you keep as your independence for as long as possible.
- Should I continue palliative care after successful treatment?
During your illness you may receive successful treatment from your clinical team. Depending on the outcome of this treatment you may no longer require palliative care, however it may be beneficial to continue for a short while. During the recovery process it can be beneficial to you and your loved ones to have some relief from the physical and emotional stress a serious illness can cause.
