Home Instead Enfield provided carers for my father at home while he was under palliative care. I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism, sensitivity and dedication of the whole Home Instead Enfield Team. Care was organised very quickly, transitions between carers were well organised, and
carers training as well as care standards were exceptional. The manager who organised the team was truly dedicated, turning up on site the first day of care and was always available to discuss any concerns, or just answer questions we had for reassurance etc. The whole team was very approachable and our experience was made easier by Home Instead Enfield. As a family we were there with my father doing what we could but as we were not professional carers and had no experience of performing caring duties. The care Home Instead Enfield provided helped give us peace of mind that my father was well cared for, and as comfortable as could be. Thank you Home Instead Enfield.

Living far away from a frail 93-year-old relative suddenly needing reliable home care, we faced the challenge of having to entrust her day-to-day welfare entirely to a third party. Thankfully, our decision to choose Home Instead for that role proved the right one. Over the 6 years our cousin spent in
the agency's care, the support given was always pro-active and comprehensive. The close relationships her Carers built up with our cousin became invaluable and their kindness and companionship helped sustain her spirits through what would otherwise have been lonely times. The Carers on-line Activity Log, giving instant access to our cousin's condition and welfare each day, proved invaluable. The dependable care provided by the front-line care staff was matched by the office support team, helpinig us to organise our cousin's day-to-day needs in terms of groceries, meals, clothing, medications and more. Occasional emergencies, some out-of-hours, were always dealt with really efficiently.

Reply from Alexandra Sacker, Director at Home Instead (Enfield)

Thank you so much for your kind words, it's been an absolute privilege to be supporting your cousin all these years and right up to the end, allowing her to remain at home where she was happiest. Looking after someone for so long they become part of the Home Instead Family and she will be dearly missed by all.

I can honestly say that from the very first point of contact with the care manager, she made me feel so at ease with her support and knowledge in what care needs we needed for my father. All was arranged so effortlessly. You can feel from the manager and all the office staff and careers that they really
are passionate about caring for our loved ones.
All the carers that were appointed to my father's home were amazing. The manager also arranged to have Greek-speaking carers as my parents couldn't communicate well in English.
I would highly recommend Home Instead for all your care needs.
They also arranged to apply for a Blue Badge and I couldn't believe it arrived within a few weeks.

Reply from Alexandra Sacker, Director at Home Instead (Enfield)

It was an absolute pleasure to support your parents and in particular, your dad and we are very happy to hear how satisfied you are with our service - we always strive to go above and beyond and this applies to both our Care Professionals as well as the office.

Fantastic service. We utilised Home Instead's service for over two years. From initial contact to the end the carers and staff were exemplary. They all went above and beyond to ensure our elderly aunt was well tended and cared for in very difficult circumstances. Thank you to you all. Your care has
been very much appreciated.

Reply from Alexandra Sacker, Director at Home Instead (Enfield)

The care manager, was fantastic when we faced an emergency situation due to my grandmothers regular carer having to go abroad on short notice.
Sohini was helpful and understanding and came out on the weekend. The carer has been consistent and has clearly had great training.

A very brief interaction with the service, but however brief, I found them professional, courteous and great communicators. My mum was very pleased with the ladies who assisted her. Would definitely use them again.

Since we have started using the services of Home Instead since March for my aunt's care, we as a family can only applaud and say how greatly appreciative we are for the care my auntie has received. The care has been exceptional and all carers show my auntie care, respecting her dignity at all times.
It’s also the behind the scenes from the staff, who have chased up medical appointments, Occupational Therapy appointments and so much more.
Excellent company and would highly recommend.

Dear Emma, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are proud to hear you are happy with our service and it is fantastic that our help and support is so greatly appreciated - it is always our aim to go above and beyond. Kind regards, The Management.

I have to say that we have been really happy with the carers provided and we would recommend them to others. My dad has been very happy and he has made emotional ties with all of them. He has felt well looked after, not bossed, able to be himself and above all has enjoyed all the ‘chats’. He looks
forward to the next morning and is always asking me ‘When is the girl coming’.

Reply from Alexandra Sacker, Director at Home Instead (Enfield)

It has been a pleasure to support your father and your family over the past few months. Thank you for your kind words, the personal aspect and companionship plays a huge part of any care package that we deliver and to hear a client is looking forward to the visits is the best compliment one can get.

Until our mum went into hospital we had a lovely rota of carers visiting my mother twice a day. The Care Manager, Managing Director and Assistant Care Manager made sure that the carers were carefully introduced - especially as my mother has specific medical needs. Everyone at the company has been flexible
and really attentive to any concerns. Our mother looked forward to the visits every day and her carers were always respectful, friendly, attentive and careful with her. As soon as she's back on her feet we will be returning to Home Instead.

Reply from Alexandra Sacker, Director at Home Instead (Enfield)

We very much look forward to welcoming you and your mum back into our service as soon as she is ready and well enough to return to her independent living arrangements. Thank you for your kind words and we wish her a speedy recovery.

Felt very well supported and cared for during my isolation due to the Covid virus. All the staff who visited me were very kind and supportive. Given I had spent my working life as an ASW (approved social worker) I was very aware of how difficult it can be to be involved in the care of people. Many thanks
to all the staff of Home Instead.

I am very pleased with the Home Instead care for my mother. She always says she likes all the ladies who visit her and they all have a caring and patient manner. The visits for a 92-year-old lady to have regular company has incredibly improved her moods and helped her overcome the difficulty of living
alone. My enormous thanks to all the team.

My mother was mainly happy with the carers and was able to build up a good relationship with them and it was obvious that they enjoyed supporting Mum. They spent time with her and didn't hurry.
The management had a listening ear and were helpful and fair.

I was always kept informed of any changes for my Aunt, good or bad, and was most appreciative of the support the carers gave my Aunt when she was in the hospital. Also, from the office team whose response to my urgent calls for help as I live so far away from my Aunt, was so reassuring to me knowing
my Aunt was always well cared for. Thank you.

Home Instead have been helping to look after my mother for a couple of years now. Their help has been invaluable. No more so than now, during this very worrying time for us all. They have remained calm, focused on their clients and have kept us informed. The carers still able to attend to my mum
put our minds at rest and ensure she remains as safe and comfortable as possible at home. We cannot thank them enough for their care and professionalism. We would not have managed this long without them.
Wishing everyone safe passage through this frightening time.

The service provided by Home Instead is second to none. The carers have a very good relationship with my mother and are sympathetic to her needs. They are proactive in their approach and they provide great comfort to me in knowing that the care of my mother is in capable hands. This is very important
to me as I live in Chile (South America) and I am only able to visit my mother 3 or 4 times a year.

Extremely caring, first class service. The staff go the extra mile and more. I cannot recommend Home Instead Enfield more highly. They not only have supported my aunt but also me as a relative, keeping me fully informed. In very challenging circumstances they have problem solved ways to encourage independence
and dignity. All the staff are extremely supportive and caring.

I cannot thank Home Instead enough for the care that they provided for my 93-year-old Aunt which enabled her to remain in her own home. The carers were very professional, kind and thoughtful. It was an enourmous weight off my mind that she was being cared for so well.
