What a wonderful review. We have visited this week to check that all is well. Two weeks have flown by. We are delighted to report that dad is very happy with our service and he loves his Care Professionals. Early days, I know, but from experience our Clients enjoy visits more and more. Support, care and companionship with familiar faces at regular times is one of the best medicines to keep spirits up. A trip out, when the sun is shining, with a professional friend is a wonderful tonic. Many thanks once again.

Thank you for your very positive review. We are always happy to supply holiday cover and respite so that families can go away with peace of mind. Once families have tried holiday cover with Home Instead, time away becomes something to look forward to. Often feelings of guilt and/or worry spoil the holiday experience. All our ladies and gentlemen are wonderful people who genuinely want to give outstanding care and support. We aim to make all our clients feel valued, comfortable and safe. It is always good to have this confirmed in a review. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are delighted that our Care Professionals are cheerful souls and they do enjoy cooking! Our recruitment process is strict and we are always searching for people passionate about delivering excellent care. Chatting, making friends and completing fun activities are integral to our client support. The office team try hard to support everyone, clients, client family members, our care professional team and of course each other. It is good to hear that communication with your daughter is good and that any problems are dealt with promptly. Thank you for putting your trust in Home Instead Salford and this review is appreciated.

What a wonderful review - thank you. Our care professionals have thoroughly enjoyed supporting your parents, and in turn you and your family. Caring for you all has been an absolute pleasure. Our recruitment and training program is thorough and robust. A small percentage of care professional applicants succeed in commencing work with us. This is because we are extremely fussy! All our carers are different, different personalities, different experiences, different backgrounds. The one thing they all have in common is their determination to make every day the very best day for all our clients and to exceed expectations. We are proud of our team and we are proud of the difference we make to our amazing clients and their families. Thank you once again for your lovely review. We will make sure that everyone at Home Instead Salford sees it!

We are extremely sorry that this accident happened and we hope that you make a swift recovery. We understand that your confidence has been knocked because of this upsetting experience. Our care professional who was with you at the time is deeply upset, as you would expect. We have put all actions in place as you have requested and we hope that together we can build your trust once more. Thank you for staying with us.

Thank you so much for this fabulous review. We try exceptionally hard to make our clients feel comfortable with their Care Professionals and we put lots of effort into matching personalities. If we are successful with this matching our clients are happy, our Care Professionals are happy and in turn family and friends are happy and relieved. This review confirms that our methods are successful - thank you once again.

Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review. The feeling is mutual, you and your husband are always a pleasure to support. We have been visiting you for several years and you have always been a very popular client. You are a full-time carer for her husband and always remain positive and cheerful. We help with household tasks to relieve the pressure on you. Thank you for putting your trust in us to support you both.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We can say that it has been a pleasure over the years to support your parents. All our care professionals enjoy their company. Thank you for mentioning the office team too. The care and support we supply is a total team effort. Every member of our team enjoys their jobs - as was borne out in our recent independent survey - PEAQ - pursuing excellence - advancing quality. This report is available to all to see and it gives us great pleasure to know that both Clients and Care Professionals are happy. We had a client advocacy rate of 95%.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. Thank you for calling in our office recently to give an update on your mum. Often, our loved ones do not want or think they need support at home. This is very common and I am sure when my time comes, I will be the same. Your mum was no exception. A rocky start but very quickly developed into a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Once a client is settled with their dedicated Care Professionals the relief for all is tangible. Thank you once again for sparing the time to write a review.

Thank you so much for such a fabulous review. Your grandmother and her dedicated Care Professional have a wonderful relationship and I know that our Care Professional has enjoyed their many conversations. The book your grandmother has written is inspirational and such an interesting, informative read.

Thank you for your considered review. All the Care Professionals who support and care for your husband thoroughly enjoy their visits and also enjoy chatting to you and other family members. I am delighted that we are able to work as a team - Client, Care Professionals and other experts in their fields. This is imperative to achieve the best care and best positive results possible. I am sorry that the cost is high and that we have increased our rates three times over two years. This is not something we do lightly. Pre-Covid finding the exceptional Care Professionals we demand was hard - post-Covid extremely difficult. We have now employed a full-time recruiter to address this and we are always thinking 'out of the box' on how to attract more Care Professionals who deliver care because they want to - care is part of their DNA. We thoroughly enjoy supporting you and thank you for putting your tust in us.

Thank you for such a wonderful review. We enjoy supporting your family members, and our Care Professionals talk fondly about their visits. Solid relationships have been made over time and our Care Professional considered it a privilege to be with your Mum when she 'went to sleep'. It is an honour to be able to support people in their own home and share good times and sometimes upsetting times. Your father now has the full attention of our Care Professionals which we are sure he will be enjoying. Thanks again for such a lovely review. We will also make sure that your lovely brother is supported during this difficult time.

Thank you for submitting such a wonderful review. We try very hard to match our Clients' personalities with our Care Professionals. In this case, we were lucky that we had a retired nurse supporting your sister and they had nursing and Salford Royal in common. Music is also a great bonding tool and I think Neil Diamond and singing in general was another common denominator. Supporting with personal care, meal preparation and medication is all part of our support but common interests and hobbies go a long way to make our clients feel comfortable and happy in their own homes.

a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.778 for Home Instead (Salford) is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 90 Ratings = 4.778
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 relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Salford) is based on 14 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.

Job Title: Director - Co Founder
Joined: 2016
My name is Susan Robinson and I am the owner of Home Instead Salford and Worsley. I have lived and worked in Salford all my life and I am immensely proud to be part of this vibrant and ever-changing city.
Although I have owned and managed two exciting businesses in the past, more recently I have volunteered and worked in several primary schools in Salford. A large proportion of my time involved developing relationships between school, families and the wider community. My passion for community development grew very quickly and I had no intention of changing my career path.
However, I needed some support from my mum when we were going on holiday in August 2015. It was at this time that I was introduced to Home Instead Senior Care. I was amazed at the culture and ethos of the company. Love, care and compassion are at the heart of the Home Instead philosophy. When I realised that there was an opportunity in Salford to support individuals in their own homes, where they are most happy and comfortable, I grabbed it with both hands.
