We have engaged the services of Home Instead (Bath) for some years and with regards to more than one client. Home Instead (Bath) provide vital companionship for our older clients and, without them, the lives of many people would be much darker. Very professional but friendly service. Would recommend
to all.

The care I receive from all of my carers allows me to live independently at home but also has given me a group of new friends. Their care is efficient but also they treat me with dignity, listening to me and giving help when needed.

I initially received two recommendations for Home Instead, one from an ex-employee friend and one from a relative. My wife is suffering from severe stage Alzheimer's and being her full-time carer I needed a couple of hours a week respite, mainly to attend my own appointments. I had previously had difficulty
getting this help, and during the two months I have been using Home Instead they have made a real difference.
The manager has been extremely helpful and visited us personally on several occasions and give advice and guidance. She carefully selected a most suitable carer who my wife loves and who she already sees as her friend. I initially worried that my wife would rebel against being left with someone without me but she now looks forward to her weekly afternoon with her friend. From feeling very alone and isolated Home Instead have given me somewhere to turn to and I know that as things get more difficult they will help me in other ways when we need it. It is totally without reservation that i recommend Home Instead to anyone in a similar position to us.

With the current climate being what it is. I was overwhelmed with the care and concern shown to my mother when she has a bad turn and required extra care. I'm so happy that Home Instead (Bath) were able to sort extra cover. It has out the whole family at ease knowing professionals are on the case.

My mum (and my siblings and me) were absolutely satisfied with the care and support received from Home Instead. From the initial contact right through to meeting the carers, we were delivered a professional, thorough and thoughtful service. They really went the extra mile to try and meet our needs.
The carers were very well-matched with Mum, she enjoyed their visits and struck up a real friendship with them. We feel this friendship was reciprocated and that the carers truly cared for Mum. As a family, this gave us confidence and security very much needed when a family member becomes vulnerable and home alone.
Communication worked well and a review very early on ensured things were working well.
Thank you, Home Instead we are very grateful to you.

Constantly impressed with the personalised and caring service my dad receives and with the excellent levels of communication, so although my brother and I both live a long way from Dad we are kept up to date with things that are issues for him so that we can respond and improve his day to day life.
I have just been to stay with Dad and found a clean and well-kept house, and a happy and well-fed Dad, both thanks to the lovely carers he has visiting him every day! Dealing with company bureaucracy can be so tiring but this is never the case with Home Instead, one call, phone is answered by a friendly person (often someone we already know) and the request dealt with speedily, efficiently and with Dad's best interests at heart. We would recommend the service with no reservations.

I am so pleased with the attention I've received. Nothing is too much trouble and aside from the carers being so helpful, their cheerful companionship is every bit as appreciated as their concern for my well-being.

Although I never met my Auntie's Carers, I felt I knew them as she always talked about them, how nice and friendly they were and she always looked forward to seeing them. She certainly enjoyed her weekly bath. We are all very grateful for the care and support given to my Auntie and I know she was very
appreciative too.

Home Instead have been looking after my mother in Wiltshire for seven years. They were able to keep her safe in her own home for much longer than otherwise could.
They were a huge support to me when my mother had a terrible fall at home.

Home Instead has been an excellent provider of care for my dad and, prior to her admission to a care home, my mum too. The care staff have always been caring and compassionate, especially at the start when my parents had to get used to the transition from independence, to needing some help. Everyone
I have dealt with in the office has been excellent. Always very friendly and helpful and my sister and I have a good rapport with them. Recently when my mum passed away, they went the extra mile to ensure that not just my Dad, but also my sister and I had support when needed. Thank you to everyone at Home Instead. Finally a special mention for one member of staff, in particular, who is so helpful and so lovely to deal with and has really helped my dad through a difficult time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Home Instead (Bath) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.937 for Home Instead (Bath) is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.937

  • 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 (Bath) is based on 24 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.
