I have had carers for one hour each morning to help me to wash and dress as I am not allowed to bend right down. They have all been very helpful and kind and friendly and I would recommend people to use this company if they need assistance.

A huge thank you to a particular member of staff at Home Instead for supporting Mum and Dad this year. The care shown to my parents has been exemplary. Mum and Dad relate to the care pros as friends. I too feel the care team are an extension of the family. Home Instead have enabled us to support Mum
and Dad at home through tricky period. I highly recommend.

I have three girls looking after me and I find all of them very helpful. They are very pleasant and willing and not daunted by anything I ask them. They attend me on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for two hours each morning. I can honestly say that I look forward to their visits. Even their holiday
replacements are first class.

My mum has been supported to remain in her own home by the fabulous Home Instead carers for the last 18 months since we lost Dad. It would not be possible for her to be here without this support.
They are all warm, kind and caring to Mum and keep her lovingly and safely at home.

Travelling up from the city to support siblings whilst away, I found Home Instead had been engaged in helping care for my mother. Morning visits to help with getting out of bed/washing/feeding followed up with evening visits to reverse the process to ensure she's safely helped to bed.
I have met 4
staff in the course of over a week and can say without reservation that their level of training/support/knowledge/professionalism is absolutely first-class. Contact with Office for me was seamless. If you are considering seeking support for family, I strongly recommend you consider this company. Awesome service. Thanks!

Reply from Mike Chalton, Franchise owner at Home Instead (Wirral)

Thank you for your review and detailed feedback. It is our privilege to care for your mother and we appreciate that your experience with our team has been as we would wish. We aim to be outstanding in all aspects of our business, training is a critical one, as is communicating effectively with clients' family to ensure they have peace of mind that their loved one is being properly cared for.

The overall standard was good, I paid for night time carers and most were excellent but some were not.
One male carer was excellent, always willing to clear up the kitchen and noticed he did things that needed doing!
One female didn't notice things that needed doing and constantly had to be asked
to help out. There are too many different carers.

Thank you for your review and feedback, we're pleased to hear you found the overall service to be of a good standard.

Thank you for your review and detailed feedback. Caring for your aunt is our privilege. We match our Care Professionals based on similar personalities and interests, which really helps (we believe) a much more positive relationship and care experience.

Home Instead was recommended to us by our niece. Although it's early days yet, so far we have been very pleased. At the moment we just have companionship care but it's comforting to know that when our needs increase they can be accommodated by nice, well-trained care staff.

Reply from Mike Chalton, Franchise owner at Home Instead (Wirral)

Thank you for your review and feedback. Our care is highly person centred and so companionship is an important part of what we provide. However, our care services are extensive and tailored to meet each individual's needs, meaning we are able to respond to your needs as they change, to ensure you continue to receive the right level of care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.761)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) out of 10 for Home Instead (Wirral) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.761 for Home Instead (Wirral) is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 184 Ratings = 4.761

  • 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 (Wirral) is based on 31 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.
