Home Instead offers outstanding quality of the care by taking time to understand what each person needs and what makes them happy.

Providing clients with the right home care so they can maintain their independence and dignity and continue to enjoy life, Home Instead understands the importance of spending time with people; sometimes just being there is as important as getting the jobs done.

Home Instead Bagshot visits people throughout the Ascot, Camberley & Wokingham area, including Bracknell, Chobham, Lightwater and all the areas in between. They help with most of the things people need to stay in their own homes, including meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, medication and personal care.

Home Instead's minimum visit is an hour so you don't have to rush and you'll see the same person most of the time so you can plan your week together.

The Ascot office is part of a wider group that cover the Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire borders and have additional facilities such as a wheelchair accessible vehicle and raiser chair incase of a fall.

Home Instead CAREGivers are carefully selected, properly trained and their 4 references have been checked. They are genuinely caring and share the company ethos of treating their clients as they would want their own parents to be treated.

The carer who looked after my aunt was very competent and professional but at the same time formed a very close and loving bond with her which was very nice for both of them. She was reliable and good humoured and very flexible, often taking my aunt to hospital appointments, and being an active listener
during them. For the last weeks of my aunt's life she visited twice a day to supplement the work of the live-in carer, and during the last week I was there too and the 3 of us formed a good team and got on well together.

Thank you for your kind comment Huw. It was a pleasure to help your aunt. She was a very special person and I will always remember her.

This was our first experience of receiving care for a parent, so was difficult to know what to expect.
We were made to feel comfortable and nothing was a problem.
Suggestions were made and a plan was put into place.
Introductions were fairly quick and the whole process was efficient, friendly and
first class.
Our Dad has decided he is OK on his own at the moment with our help and support obviously.
We will re-introduce care in the future and will contact Home Instead again.

I found the office staff to be very pleasant and all queries/requests dealt with promptly, everyone was friendly and sympathetic.
The carers I've encountered were all very helpful and under pressure, coped with situations calmly and efficiently.
With their assistance, I felt both myself and my mother
had a more varied and relaxed life.

My father was a client of Home Instead for 3 years. I couldn't have been more pleased with the standard of care that he received during this time. The staff that come to see him were excellent and I couldn't fault them. He only moved into residential care because he became too frail to stay at home.

Reply from Maggie Martin, Director at Home Instead (Ascot, Camberley and Wokingham)

Thanks very much for your lovely comments - it was a pleasure to look after your dad. I hope he settles well in his new home, Maggie.

My experience of the Bagshot Home Instead Senior Care was short but very positive. I cannot fault any of my dealings with them and the carers who served my husband were excellent - allowing him to keep his dignity at a very fragile time. Two days after my husband passed away I found a thoughtful card
and single flower on my doorstep - a very sweet gesture - no attempt to see or talk to me which was very very kind at a private time.

I'm glad I chose Home Instead as their staff are professional and reliable.
Not only that they have a personal touch.
It's important with the job that they do, to have good conversation and compassion.

The team at Home Instead looked after my mum ad hoc over the last 2 years to give me vital half-day respite periods. I was my mum's full-time carer and her conditions (including dementia) made that care very challenging at times, particularly toward the end of her life. So the respite was a real lifeline.
Home Instead always found carers to match my mum's needs, sometimes at short notice, and they could also maintain a high degree of consistency in carer which was great for my mum. Their communication, courtesy, response time, professionalism, customer service and standard of care were excellent.

The reason I used Home Instead to care for my mum was the director of the company.
She was very understanding and always supplied staff that could cope with my mum's needs.
Always willing to change shifts when required and kept to the same staff for all the shifts which was perfect for my mum who
had dementia.
I would always refer my friends who need help to Home Instead.

Reply from Maggie Martin, Director at Home Instead (Ascot, Camberley and Wokingham)

Thanks, Susan - it was an absolute pleasure to care for your mum.
Very best wishes to you and your family,
Maggie.

Great service from the team who assisted from early in mum's diagnosis to her moving into the care home. We were kept informed of issues and progress and our requests, which changed regularly due to fast illness progression were reacted to quickly and efficiently. As we children do not live locally,
it took the burden of care from our shoulders and gave mum company, activities and care we could not offer.

Home Instead provided a skilled carer to deal with my mother who is advancing quickly with Alzheimer's.
She was dealt with compassionately, patiently and kindly.
We, her children, do not live locally.
We cannot thank the Bagshot Team enough for their dedication to our situation.

My carer arrived promptly every day. She gave me help where needed. Bathing, clothes, pills, transport to the hospital. She was a cheerful person and we had some great chats. I have missed her and wish her well.

I have used Home Instead Senior Care increasingly over many months as my husband's dementia and other disabilities have needed more and more care. From the start - and until my husband was admitted to a nursing home last month - Home Instead Senior Care has been kind, patient, efficient, effective,
prompt and helpful. Their carers have been faultless and we became friends so much so that I miss them.

Thank you very much Barbara - it's been a real privilege to help. I hope your husband settles well in his new home.

My mother was a very independent lady and, with many medical issues, eventually needed help to stay in her flat, determined not to go into a care home. Home Instead have been very efficient and dependable. It was hard for my mother to have people visit her daily at first, but she grew very fond of the
carers and we, as a family, felt she was getting companionship as well as daily care for her needs, especially as I don't live locally to Camberley. Home Instead have been there when we needed them the most and I can't thank them enough for their care and kindness (the only thing my mother had a problem with was their bed-making skills!).

Reply from Maggie Martin, Director at Home Instead (Ascot, Camberley and Wokingham)

Thanks. The two carers were both very fond of your mum and it was a pleasure to be able to help her.

I have called upon the services of this agency once before in 2014 and again now. I am lacking in confidence when walking in the town and need someone to lean on! I drive my car but feel very wobbly on my feet when I get out of the car. The assurance of someone being with me to help getting up and down
kerbs, opening stiff doors etc is most important to me. Everywhere else I manage well.

Job Title: Deputy Care Manager

Joined: 2018

I joined the office team at Bagshot in September 2018, having previously worked as a CAREGiver for the Woking branch until I moved closer to Bagshot.


I’ve loved working for Home Instead as a CAREGiver, helping to support individuals so they can carry on living at home independently.


My role now is to meet new clients and help them design the kind of support they would like to receive, visit our existing clients to make sure they're happy with the support they're receiving and deal with questions from our team of CAREGivers.


I am very much looking forward to my new role and getting to know all of the clients and CAREGivers.
