Overall Experience

Without the caring support of Home instead my good friend would not have been able to stay in the home she loved for an additional 6 years
The carers have been amazing and she regards them as her friends.

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

Thank you for your kind words they are very much appreciated and will be passed on to our carers who we couldn't do without and are so proud of. Our team have enjoyed supporting your friend over the years and will continue to do so for as long as needed.

All round professional service. Pleasant caring staff. Good communications. All office staff knew what was going on. Action always taken when medical issues arose. Carers built genuine relationships with my aunt and Uncle. Picked up prescriptions and odd food items. I would highly recommend Home Instead!

Overall Experience

Excellent service provided for my father who is living alone, they have gone above and beyond with him, seeing as he is geographically a bit out of the way and needed a lot of sorting out in the home.
Cannot thank and rate the staff and the management enough. Would happily recommend to anyone needing

the physical support with family members, which in turn helps the emotional and mental worry and stress that the need for care can bring.

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

We are so pleased that the support our Care Professionals give to your father is working so well for him. We pride ourselves on the staff that we employ and if they are happy then our clients are in turn happy. I will be sure to pass on your comments to those involved with supporting your father and thank you again.

Overall Experience

Home Instead in Cowes, Isle of Wight have been a pleasure to deal with. They support my mother, who has dementia, to remain at home. She needs assistance with taking her medication and the care staff are excellent; they are gentle and caring with mum, they report any issues straight away and they liaise

with the GP and pharmacy if there is a problem with prescriptions. Their admin systems are straightforward and the management seem very competent. It is very reassuring to know that they are there for mum and I would recommend them to anyone.

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

Thank you for your lovely review. Your feedback means so much to the whole Team. We strive to provide care and support that passes the "Mum & Dad" test. Each and every carer who supports your lovely Mother looks forward to their daily visits, and all feedback is always positive.

Overall Experience

Home Instead (Isle of Wight) have been providing care 4 times per day for a 94 year old lady with dementia for many years. The carers are kind, thoughtful and professional. The Management are also absolutely excellent and regularly go way beyond the "call of duty" e.g. sorting out ancillary issues of

home ownership (which I am unable to provide as I live on the mainland). They always have the patient's best interests at heart (unlike my experience with another local Isle of Wight provider). Exceptional and very highly recommended.

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

Overall Experience

Following a hip revision which was not successful and a cancer diagnosis I need care both domestic and personal. Home Instead provides both my needs with carers who are sympathetic to my needs on the days they come. They are cheerful and uplifting, really helpful and well trained in all their tasks.

I particularly liked that all new carers are introduced on their first visit and shown any special requests without me having to keep repeating this. My ironing is done to a better standard now too! I really look forward to their visit. Thank you Home Instead.

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

Thank you for your very kind words.We take pride in the support we offer to our clients and recognise that we are only as good as the fabulous Care Professionals in our team that go above and beyond for our clients.

Overall Experience

I can really see the difference in the quality of service compared to other homecare providers. The carers are providing in my opinion a more homely approach and more efficient service to provide better care and a happier home. My personal experience of other providers, historically, has been a service

that just ticks the bare minimum (and often leaving calls early) in which I thought that was the only option there was to support someone to continue in living at home and all providers appeared to be the same. I was wrong, Homeinstead staff ensure the welfare of the client more and will encourage clients or give them ideas to make the client's welfare and health better. They also support in keeping the home clean, fresh and tidy. It's a relief to me that my neighbour has such lovely staff, she is happier and I can relax knowing her wellbeing is truly being looked after, I'm smiling too!

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

Thank you for your super review, we are incredibly proud of all our care professionals that support our clients in the community. Each and every one of them is handpicked for their kindness, compassion and attention to detail in everything they do. It is our pleasure to support your neighbour and our staff look forward to their visits with her.

Overall Experience

Home Instead has changed mine and my father's lives in an amazing way. I have total trust in the carers that attend to my father's needs. They very promptly understood his needs and did so much to help. As well as all their tasks being undertaken during visits, they have time to talk to my father with

interest. They have so easily taken to his routine ensuring the calendar is read throughout the day and helping him to be ready for trips out. For me, working full time at the hospital, their attentive attitude towards their work gives me peace of mind. Communication is imperative and they do this constantly. Nothing is too much. I rave about Home Instead to everyone. They really do tick every box. Thank you.

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

Thank you for your lovely review. Our care professionals are selected for their star qualities, professionalism, kindness and "can do" attitude and we are so proud of them and the work they do every day. We all thoroughly enjoy supporting your father and your family and, as you know, our door is always open should you need anything.

Overall Experience

My elderly mother has been receiving care and support from Home Instead since March 2021. It has been a most successful experience both for her and for her family as we know that she has confidence and the pleasure of companionship with each of the caregivers.

Mum is treated with dignity and with

care in all aspects of her personal well-being. She is very fond of some of the ladies that come to her and looks forward to their company. I am kept informed if a caregiver raises any concerns and I have a trusted and friendly relationship with all at the office. Home Instead provides an excellent service. We can't thank you enough!

Reply from Dee Oswald, Director at Home Instead (Isle of Wight)

Thank you for your lovely review of our care and support services, we take great pride in the fabulous carers that are part of our Home Instead Isle of Wight Team. I know that they are all delighted to be a part of Mum's support team.

Overall Experience

I have been very impressed by Home Instead from the outset.
First contacts with my godmother were excellent and she felt very happy to trust all the carers. The administrative staff go that little bit to ensure she receives the best care during this difficult post-COVID time, when COVID is still really

a problem for people trying to organise staff. Recently my godmother has been in hospital and again, the office staff have liaised brilliantly with me and other agencies. Well done all!
