Home Instead have been providing morning care for my wife for some considerable time at this point. The carers perform a wide variety of tasks for my wife including washing, dressing and even occasional laundry . Home Instead were even able to provide round the clock care over a weekend when I had to spend a weekend in London.
Brian S (Husband of Client)
I just cannot praise Home Instead enough for all the care, support and friendship they have shown to myself and my sister, who has needed a great deal of support. Sadly, she now needs 24 hour care in a nursing home. The staff who have helped her at home have gone above and beyond in all they’ve done.
Really concerned and even offering extra shifts to help. We’ll be forever grateful. All the staff in the office have been just amazing, altering shifts around, changing carers if not suitable, keeping in touch with me over any concerns regarding my sister.
J W (Sister of Client)
As an only child, living many miles away and working even further away I was absolutely reliant on Home Instead to look after my parents during the week. The care they received was so good as well as reliable that it made a huge difference to my life was well. I simply did not have to worry if my parents were ok (at least not in the same way) because I knew how well they were looked after.
