In Home Care Ltd: Finding the right type of care either for you, a friend or an elderly relative is something that many of us, at some point, may have to undertake. Researching the various care options available will enable you to make the correct choice. Of course there are other issues and challenges to consider, such as having the initial conversation with your loved one regarding their care needs. Understandably, they want to keep their pride and most importantly their independence and at the outset they may refuse to accept they even need care. Then there are the conversations relating to how the care can be funded, discussions relating to wills, power of attorney and so on. Challenging times in deed for all concerned, In Home Care's aim is to help you achieve the right result for you and your loved ones. This will be achieved on an individual basis and to best suit your personal circumstances. Carers will guide and support you every step of the way; from initial consultation to guidance on financing care, through to developing a personalised care plan, experts are there to provide you with the support, guidance and advice you or your family require anytime. Can help with all types of care for adults 18 and over.

I always look forward to seeing my carer on a Friday who helps me with my shopping. Always cheerful and we have a great laugh. I have had the same carers for many years and she knows the procedures never missing the sweet aisle! she pushes the trolley for me and reaches the high shelves. I cannot manage
without her help, great support and a special carer.

Mum was happy with the care she’d received for her once a week visit. As of today, she has had two visits as the home care has just started. She has requested another visit on a Thursday or Friday and this is in hand so hopefully will start soon

In Home Care have helped to look after my mother for the past couple of years. I found all the carers to be very professional but also very friendly, kind, helpful and very caring towards mum. They always treated mum with great respect and dignity. I cannot fault the care they provided and in my opinion,
they always went the extra mile. They helped me through a very demanding time which was made even more difficult due to Covid. I would highly recommend In Home Care to anyone who wants to keep their parent/relative in their own home for as long as possible and assure them that they will receive the very best of care.

My dad has needed help to shower and get dressed each morning since a stroke earlier this year, and we (my dad, mum and I) are very happy with the excellent level of care we are getting from In Home Care. The carers and the office staff are always courteous, friendly and cheerful, but most importantly,
professional and diligent. The carers have helped my dad to keep his dignity, and he considers the level of care he is getting to be equal to the assistance he received from the nurses in hospital. He can’t praise them enough. Dad finds the mornings difficult until he gets moving, but once he is in the bathroom it is great to hear him laughing and chatting with the carers - we say he ‘goes upstairs feeling like Eeyore, and comes back down acting like Tigger!’
We would have no hesitation in recommending In Home Care to family and friends.

My mum has been supported by In Home Care for a period of 4 months requiring live-in, domiciliary and waking night care involving 10 different carers. All of the carers have been lovely, cheerful, respectful and professional, sometimes under difficult circumstances. I would have no hesitation in recommending
In Home Care and would like to thank them for the support that has been provided to my mum.

Surprised me by doing more than I thought they would. e.g. called doctors about mum not eating properly and got some high calorie/ vitamins milkshake.
Mum has got used to her ladies coming round and likes a chat with them which is a relief for me.

The carers and admin staff based at In-Home Care Ltd at Horndean have cared firstly for Mum and lately Dad for over a year. In that time I have seen how professional and experienced all the carers and office staff have been and continue to be. Recently, the company advised me (as the second carer) on
methods and practices of moving my recently bedbound father without causing him distress and followed up with progress visits and calls. The methods shown to me have proved invaluable to keeping Dad relaxed and more accepting of being moved and washed in bed.
In addition, the carers provide a window to what is happening in the local area as well as the world which keeps their minds active - there is also a lot of laughter!
In the current pandemic, the company has continued to keep me up to date with the changing Government Covid-19 protocols for both carers and clients in order to keep everyone safe. I have no hesitation in recommending In-Home Care Ltd.

We have always been treated with the utmost kindness and understanding when dealing with my daughter. The carers are excellent and I feel I can leave my daughters care with them without any worry. The carers are prompt and polite and take care to find excellent places to visit on the social aspects
of my daughter's care package.

In Home Care provides carers for my Mum twice a day. They are always kind, helpful and chatty with Mum which has enabled her to stay in her own home for the last 2 years. When Mum had a leak in her bathroom in December, the carer stayed to help out and rang me so I could get it fixed.

From the beginning, In Home Care have been professional, friendly and efficient. They carried a full assessment which was converted into a folder for carers to see in my mum's home. The staff I have spoken to and met have been helpful, attentive and friendly. Everyone seems to actually know my mum.
They are very good at contacting me with any problems so they can be solved quickly which I greatly appreciate. When mum's medication is about to run out the contact me quickly so that it can be ordered. There is always someone in the office to speak to, even later in the evening and at weekends which is really reassuring.
Mum is reluctant to have people in her home but despite this, she tells me they are nice.
If I have one comment of a negative sort it would be that the carers that see Mum need to improve on communication with each other sometimes. It would appear that some messages do not get passed on. A minor problem and should not put anyone off from using this fantastic company.

In Home Care have provided a caring service for my elderly mum for over three years.
They have always tried to maintain continuity because she has very poor sight, but all the carers have been kind and lovely.
Any queries that I have had (and there have been a few!) have been dealt with promptly
and professionally but in a friendly way.

I have been a client of In Home Care for three years and have found all the carers to be excellently trained and aware of my needs. They have all been cheerful and easy to relate to. They have enabled me to remain happily in my own home despite several long term disabilities. I hope they feel valued

I find carers extremely helpful on the whole. What I would like to perhaps change is regular care staff, so that you get to know them. All staff are helpful. If I have a problem, they listen to what I have to say and make changes if needed. Although very happy with the service, I hope it doesn't change.
