I'm new to Home Instead but, so far, so good. Communication is good between management and myself, all care staff have been very caring and lovely towards my sons. All staff involved have been very accommodating to their (and my) needs.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We are so pleased you are happy with the service provided so far. We will pass your kind comments on to the rest of the team, many thanks again!

We have a resident carer supported by one hour of care each day. The carers are both competent professionals and really relate to and help my wife who is totally dependent and can't speak, or leave her bed. I have strong confidence in the service provided by Home Instead. One slight niggle: resident
carers whom we have enjoyed living with us have been moved to other clients because of the need of the service.

Reply from Mike Keig, Owner at Home Instead (Weston-Super-Mare, Burnham on Sea & North Somerset)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are so glad the live-in care service is meeting the needs of you and your wife, and that you have confidence in the service. We are sorry we had to make a change with one of your two initial live-in Care Professionals, but we hope you are satisfied with having the other original Care Pro still with you since your start date. Continuity is very important to us. Thank you for your kind words, we will pass them on to the rest of the team.

When my father was rushed to hospital, my mother’s carer from Home Instead stayed until the ambulance arrived and then kept my mother company until there was news. When my father was moved to a care home, they were quick to identify extra resources to take Mum to visit him. They are caring and flexible.
You only have to ask and they will respond with a practical plan that works well for the family.

My mum's care team is great, out of about 12-15 carers I only have a problem with two and that's only down to personality. My main problem is that there seems a lack of communication in the office. When I started with Home Instead, they seemed to listen? Now I'm just not sure what is going on, at times
you feel as if you are just being passed around, even the carers seem more stressed with the office?

Reply from Mike Keig, Owner at Home Instead (Weston-Super-Mare, Burnham on Sea & North Somerset)

Thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention. We are sorry you feel this way, and after 5 years of providing care to your mother, we are saddened to receive a negative review. If you are unhappy with your mum's current care team (8 Care Professionals), we would welcome the chance to make any necessary changes to improve this for you. Our aim is to provide the best possible care to our Clients, and it is something we take very seriously. We do our best to ensure we listen to our Clients and their families and keep lines of communication open and clear. We are sorry you feel we haven't communicated well with you on this particular occasion and that the experience did not meet your expectations. Please do get in touch with us directly if you have any concerns in the future.

Home Instead (Weston Super Mare) provided daily morning home care to my dad for several years prior to his move into a residential nursing home. From the outset with the initial assessment visit, through all of the ongoing care and his annual reviews, the level of care, attention to detail, warmth,
friendliness, kindness, compassion and consideration was first class. His care team were like friends and always made my dad feel valued and genuinely cared for. Home Instead exceeded both my and my dad's expectations and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a care provider.

Both Mum and Dad's live-in carers are dedicated, professional and caring. They enabled my parents to lead independent and fulfilled lives as much as they are able. We are grateful to them for making our lives as daughters easier and allowing us to spend more quality time with Mum and Dad. Thanks to
the carers and to Home Instead for arranging this for our family.

My review on Home Instead and care workers. My care pro helps me on Tuesdays and Thursdays cleaning, cooking, companionship and home help, walks in the parks and trips to the seafront. She is lovely, we have a good working relationship. She understands me and how I think. She is very helpful to me.
Care Pro are great, I have been with Home Instead for one year now, I have met a few staff, care pros and team leaders. All seem very nice and helpful. The cate service is very vital for day-to-day recovery. I recommend Home Instead to anyone who needs care and support.

We started Home Instead in May 2022 when my mother, then ninety-nine, had a fall. They come every day to get Mum up, washed, dressed, make breakfast and tidy up. All the girls are excellent, kind and very professional. I couldn't manage without them (as I care for my husband who suffered a stroke).

Our overall experience of Home Instead as an organisation has been extremely positive. These are the things that stand out.
a) Communication with me as the son whose mother you care for has been excellent from your office team. You've never let us down.
b) The carers themselves have been very friendly,
they value our space and are liked by Mum.
c) The one area where occasionally we have experienced a difficulty concerns relating to my mum - if the carer is 'too chatty' or Mum feels she is being treated as a child, she doesn't like that!

My dad has a Home Instead carer for an hour mid morning and another hour later in the afternoon on three days each week. Their visits are mainly for companionship, food preparation and washing up afterwards. I recently had the pleasure of meeting two of the three regular carers during their visits and
they were a joy to be with! Dad enjoys their company and looks forward to their visits during the days when my siblings and I can’t be there: although he is very much a family man, the carers have brought new interest to Dad’s life and are such lovely company. They are so kind, thoughtful, amusing and easygoing: the time flew past when I met them and, although I had never seen either of them before, it was like being with old friends! I haven’t met the third carer yet but I know Dad enjoys her visits very much, too!

Home Instead (Weston-Super-Mare, Burnham on Sea & North Somerset) provided excellent care to my father. I would highly recommend them. Their staff not only looked after Dad at home but also helped with house work which allowed Mum, Dad's main carer, to spend more time with Dad. Their local manager was
very approachable and helpful, taking time to answer questions even at the weekend.

My partner and I have a motorhome, so during normal circumstances, we’re normally away most weekends. If we’re not away and the weather is nice I spend a huge amount of time in the garden, gardening. I have a large family & love to spend time with my Nan who is one of my favourite people, this is what inspired me to work for a company like Home Instead & it is so amazing to be part of something much bigger than me & to make a difference to someone’s life.


Working for Home Instead has been extremely refreshing. Working for a business that values its employees as much as they care for their clients is just amazing!

Sam

Job Title: Team Leader

Joined: 2023

My name is Sam and I’m a Team Leader.


I was born and raised on the Isle of Wight with my sister and twin brother. When I left school, I took up a 3 year course at college for landscape gardening which I really enjoyed doing and being outdoors. Then I worked for 2 Harvester restaurants as part of the management team in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. I moved back to the Isle of Wight and that's when I came across care, I worked for 2 care companies, but I had to stop after my motorbike accident back in 2015. When I was able to go back to work, I moved back to Hertfordshire and started to work for Home Instead in Hemel Hempstead as a care coordinator.


I then moved to Sampford Courtenay and lived there for 4 years, but I also worked for the Tavistock Home Instead office where I was the On Call Manager and Scheduler for 3 & a half years.


Care is a job that I enjoy doing to help and support anyone who needs people like us and find the job very rewarding. I speak to our clients and Care Professionals every day, asking how their day has been and lots more, it is so lovely to hear stories from clients and what they enjoy doing.


The training and support that I got from Home Instead over the 6 years have been amazing, they are always willing to go that extra mile no matter what and working with the office team and care professionals have also been really supportive.


Home Instead is just one big happy family…
