We have carers in twice a day, they are always punctual, pleasant, friendly and conscientious. I have every confidence that leaving a bed-bound patient in their care they will do everything required to make him comfortable.

My carer is excellent. We get along together very well. She always attends regularly and on time and she is most helpful in the care she gives to me. She helps me to shower and dress, which is the service I need most. She makes my bed and puts the rubbish out in the dustbin. At the end of the session,
she makes a cup of tea for both of us and we sit and chat and try to put the world to rights! (not always successfully!). She is really good company.

Carers were always sympathetic to my father's needs and he greatly enjoyed their company.
He was brought home baking teats which he loved. Home Instead always tried to accommodate changes in times and dates and were very helpful when he went into hospital.

Following an emergency situation, Home Instead pulled out all the stops to help and continue to support my parents. They are professional and caring and all the staff, admin and caregivers are knowledgeable, friendly and first class. Thank you.

The Carers that visit my father are very well trained and thoughtful people. We are unusual that the visit takes place in a family home where 3 generations gather during the day. Although expensive, all staff I deal with the courteous, friendly and helpful.

I was introduced to your service by a friend and started using it in February 2015 after a bad fall which exacerbated my mobility problems. All along I was impressed by the standard of care, especially when I became more concentrated following a carpal tunnel operation in December 2017. For me, it is
a real pleasure to go out with my carer. I always look forward to her visit.

Providing a carer for an elderly relative is difficult but Home Instead has been very supportive in trying to make sure the caregiver is right and happy to change carers if the chemistry is not right.
Overall, the service we receive is good and communication is excellent as always available to speak
to.
Keeping independent in your own home is important.

Helpful, friendly service providing carers on a daily basis for 1 and a half hours. Carers lead and unload dishwasher and washing machine.


Do ironing, prepare evening meal eg. Spaghetti bolognese and peel apples and make the bed.

Overview of Review Score

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.926 for Home Instead (Buckinghamshire South) is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 149 Ratings = 4.926

  • 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 (Buckinghamshire South) is based on 25 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.
