Home Instead Southport & Formby services include companionship, home help, personal care, meal preparation, accompanying clients to appointments, post-hospital care and medication reminders. Assistance for short periods of time with 24-hour care subject to agreement can also be arranged subject to assessment.

Home Instead is also proud to offer a 'Live-in' service.

Home Instead works closely with clients, clients' families and healthcare professionals to identify a person’s needs and the best way for a person to remain independent, confident and safe in their home.

Home Instead's Care Professionals receive specialist training, and are required to have a minimum of 4 references in addition to an enhanced (DBS) background check. They do not wear uniforms as this can create a barrier, particularly when a care professional accompanies a client out into the community.

At Home Instead, continuity of care is paramount, to ensure that Caregiver/client relationships are established, and to help identify any changes in a client's physical and mental wellbeing. This is particularly important for clients living with Dementia.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Home Instead have been involved in my mother's care for the past four to five years and I cannot recommend them highly enough! The caregivers - a team of 5 in my mother's case - have been absolutely marvellous, easily adapting to my mother's worsening Alzheimer's and genuinely caring for her and doing
everything that they can to ensure her wellbeing.


My mother got on well with all the carers - including some younger women in the earlier years - which is a real testament to them as my mother can be quite awkward at times! She also adapted quite well to more personal, intimate care which again says something about the level of trust that has built up over the years. My family and I have been so impressed with the level of care provided: the updates from the office; the alerts if anything has been found to be amiss; the genuine level of understanding of my mother's situation and the relationships that have developed between us and the carers as we have got to know them over the years.

My parents have been using Home Instead for a year now and are delighted with their service. They were hesitant in asking for help initially but now think it's been the best thing ever.
The lady who cares for them is superb!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Home Instead (Southport) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.875 for Home Instead (Southport) is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.875

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Southport) is based on 12 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
