Been with us since December 2013 and if a different caregiver is coming they are always introduced, and at 95 years it is nice to know who is coming.


It is also reassuring to know that in an emergency they are available to help me out.

Very kind person. She's there when I need someone to talk, she makes me laugh and they make me feel confident in all I do. They help me when I get in a muddle. They are really cheerful, light up a visit with them, also they give lots of good advice.

The caregivers are very courteous they support my daughter to cook and prepare meals. My daughter is still not happy about cutting up meat. Caregivers are good.

Home Instead are excellent. The two caregivers that attend to my wife are really good. It enabled me to have some respite. They take her out, also they take her to knit and knatter, swimming or whatever she feels she wants to do.

They have made a great difference to my life. I have respite so I can go and enjoy painting at my painting class once a week. If painting class is cancelled I can also go to Meadowhall to look around the shops, knowing that my wife is well looked after.

Since the first visit made by staff to asses my father's needs to the carer's regularly visiting has been very good. They are polite, helpful and relay messages or information to us as a family due to my father's memory not being great. Very impressed with the service provided.

Through a recent disability I needed assistance but was unsure about which agency to choose. A friend told me initially about Home Instead and I am thankful. From the word go I have had kindness, real care from every person I've met.
