The care team of Home Instead is excellent. All who have been in our home have been kind, caring and professional. We have peace of mind knowing that he is being well looked after by his team.Ian, Son of client
The care provided to my mum was excellent throughout. From initial contact, the process was straight forward, and the appropriate level of care was decided. My mum really took to the carers, and although they were all good, she inevitably had one or two favourites who she looked forward to seeing.D.G, Son of client
Since the Carers started, they have looked after mum wonderfully. There has been a marked improvement in her appetite and weight. They have given Mum someone to look forward to seeing each day. The family is relieved that someone is with her in the morning, at lunchtime and bedtime.S.A, Son of client

Will my stoma care be permanent?
You will likely have been advised at the time of your surgery whether it would be a temporary measure or a permanent one. Stoma reversal is a common procedure for certain types of stoma, with some unable to be reversed. Many people do feel having a stoma often significantly improves quality of life due to the reduction or removal of the symptoms which lead to the surgery. Any stoma care will last only as long as it is required.
How will a stoma bag affect my life?
While initially it may take some getting used to, adjusting to living with your stoma bag can minimise disruptions and improve your quality of life. Stoma care can help you recover your independence after surgery so that you can continue doing the things you love.
Can I bathe with a stoma?
Yes, it’s fine to have a bath or shower with a stoma, either with your stoma bag on or off. You may prefer having your bag on during a bath just in case your stoma is active and any leaks occur.
Will my stoma smell?
Many people are concerned that others will notice a smell from a stoma, but there should only ever be an odour from your stoma when your Care Professional is changing or emptying your bag. If there’s an unpleasant smell while the bag is in place, this might mean there is a leak, or the bag may be faulty. If you’re worried about odours from your stoma bag, your clinical team or your Care Professional will be able to give you help and advice.
