I have been so pleased and grateful for the care and personal attention given to my friend. When I first met his carer, she came across as genuine and caring; this has proved to be the case for the whole company, and they take him to the doctors, keep his cottage clean and even make a sign to remind
him that his new down stars loo is now working and available.
I would happily recommend them.

They were exceptional in their response to our request for urgent help. We went from never having used their services to using them each weekday when my mother came out of hospital following an emergency admission. They were calm, professional, helpful and above all caring, not just for my parents but
for our whole family.
They have since become invaluable to us all. I cannot praise them enough.

Friendly and caring caters to my mother and office staff helpful and very responsive. They go the extra and genuinely seem to care about those they are supporting. This also applies to the wider family, My mother looks forward to her carer coming and never has a bad word to say about her.

We have used carers from the above agency for the last 22 months. The agency came highly recommended by 3 friends/neighbours. The standard of care given is excellent and have never varied. The carers approach the client who has Alzheimer's with great sensitivity and thoughtfulness. They also show interest
and concern as to how I am coping- the live-in carer. The client is cared for as a person- every aspect of her well being comes within the scope of the service they deliver.

My mother was cared for by brilliant carers who fully respected her dignity right up until the evening before she died. With their help my mother was able to remain in her home which is what she wanted. They were always cheerful and made sure that they also asked how my father was each day. If they
were concerned about anything they would contact the office immediately and those concerns were quickly acted on.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this Care Provider.

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Horsham, Haywards Heath & Burgess Hill) is based on 22 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.
