Overall Experience

When I first came to the UK I was anxious and I didn't have any idea how to adapt to England. Also, I have a physical disability which makes me a necessity for good service and good caring. Home Instead helped me with excellent caregivers. They are absolutely good at timing and they are really professional.

Needless to say that you can always feel secure. Thank you for everything.

Hi, I would just like to say how happy our family are with the care provided by you and your excellent staff. Whenever there have been any concerns over my mother, somebody contacts me straightaway and between us, we sort things out. This puts my mind at rest knowing your carers are on the ball. Thanks

again, kind regards.

Overall Experience

Having suffered a stroke, I engaged Home Instead as carers for my father when he came to live with us. They provided great help in those early days, the service was always professional, caring and reliable. Dad liked the male carer, who was also able to take Dad out and about to various locations, and

he was available when we needed him so the relationship grew. I was extremely grateful for the support and would certainly recommend.

Home Instead have been taking out two of my elderly clients, a married couple, both of whom have mobility problems. The clients have not stopped talking about their outings, they are so thrilled to be out and about and their family have contacted me as well to say how much the client's are enjoying

it.
It is so reassuring to know that trained carers are with my clients to keep them safe while enhancing their quality of life.

My mother's carer is very helpful, friendly and reliable. She has made a huge difference to my mother's day to day living. My mother needs little personal care at the current time but knowing someone is coming on a regular basis and having company is wonderful for her and for myself.

Overall Experience

So pleased with the service and staff and so glad we changed from our old agency. The main difference has been that we had up to 14 possible carers coming in to see Mum twice a day for 30 minutes but often it wasn’t 30 minutes, it would be a shorter time and usually they would be in a rush.
Now

there are mainly 2 but can be up to 4. As we have little change in carers they know Mum so well and can tell if she is out of sorts and not herself, which means they are much quicker at seeing any deterioration and therefore the doctor is called earlier.
I was apprehensive at first when the owner said they only do visits of 1 hour minimum but it has worked perfectly. The carers are a large part of Mums life and they certainly brighten her day.

Overall Experience

I'm delighted to endorse Home Instead Senior Care (Chichester & Bognor Regis). I live 170 miles away from my 90-year-old mother and my sister, who lives near her, was finding it hard to cope with Mum's needs. Mum is fit for her age and mentally active but was finding it increasingly hard to cope with

some everyday tasks and had lost a lot of confidence.
A spell at a local care home caused her to go downhill rapidly at it became clear that she wanted to be back in her flat BUT that she needed more help. Home Instead Senior Care offered the perfect solution to all our needs and have provided care at home for nearly 2 months. The customised care plan fits Mum's exact needs and provides her with the help, company and reassurance she lacked.
From the outset, the level of service and care has been outstanding. Mum has a lovely, regular carer and everyone we have met/spoken with has been so friendly and totally professional. The transformation in Mum's well being and outlook on life has been remarkable. Thank you all SO much.

Overall Experience

My mother was introduced to Home Instead carers when it became apparent that she needed regular and reliable care at home.

She currently has carers visiting her three times a day. She wakes up to the cheery smile of a carer who lets herself into the flat around 8.00am. All her early morning needs

are attended to and she is set up nicely for the day ahead.

Mum is visited again at lunchtime when she gets help with her lunch and any other needs.

She gets a final visit around 8.30pm when a carer helps get her ready for bed and says a comforting goodnight before seeing herself out.

As her son, I have total admiration, respect and thanks for all the help that Home Instead carers provide.

Everything is done with compassion, feeling and friendship. Help is relevant and practical while at the same caring, thoughtful and genuinely friendly.

Mum quite simply could not be at home without the unstinting and reassuring support of Home Instead Carers. I cannot thank you all enough.

I personally can't praise this company enough for all the help that has been offered. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and everybody seems to be so ready to accommodate any situation. I love the fact that any care package you have in place can be altered very easily to suit the changing needs of

elderly clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead in the future.

The home help that was found for my mum, who has dementia, has been invaluable to both her and my Dad. They treat her as part of the family and she always seems to know how to handle any situation. She just gets stuck in and my mum adores her. Home Instead have been a great support to us all at this

difficult time and are always there on the end of the phone for advice and help.

I have found the staff very punctual at all times. They are very kind, caring and are always ready to listen. They take a keen interest in their client which is nice.
Should you have an issue it's always dealt with quickly and with a follow-up visit to ensure that it has been resolved.
Nothing but

praise for the home care team.

Overall Experience

Very happy with the service received for my elderly client. I was appointed her court deputy as she had no family, the local authority had placed her in a care home and diagnosed dementia but she was adamant she wanted to go back home. I chose Home Instead Chichester because of their promise to match

carers to the client and I couldn't be more pleased. Our lovely client returned back home after three months in care and has accepted the carers into her home without any difficulty, she now says she wouldn't be without them. To think she could have stayed unhappy in the care home for the rest of her days is so sad. Home Instead Chichester - (all the team but especially the manager) have gone above and beyond to ensure she is safe, settled and happy. Totally recommended.

A very professional organisation. All members of staff and in particular my wife's carer, are both polite, caring and considerate.
When I require extra hours of care for my wife, every effort is made to arrange for our usual carer to attend. This reduces any stress on my wife as she does not have

to get acquainted with a new carer.

Overall Experience

My 88-year old aunt has dementia and lives at home alone, with her little dog. She was adamant she didn't want services involved. Home Instead (HI) have been really great at offering a personalised, friendly service which my aunt has started to warm too. Their carer has been patient and tolerant, allowing

my aunt to speak her mind and respecting that there are days when she will be turned away but that these allow her to still have control of her life. As dementia goes, she is often pleased to see her on the next visit! The carers dog visits too so they all walk together and when invited in for coffee, play in the garden which my aunt loves. HI have been open to discussing with us a way of progressing their visits and their relationship with my aunt. Fish and chips Friday has been introduced with mixed reception but never the less eaten and some garden planting is being planned for when she is receptive to this. Staff are always friendly and helpful when I call and regular updates are emailed.

I am a private client lawyer, acting as attorney and Deputies for my clients who are predominately elderly and vulnerable. I have found it extremely difficult to find a care provider that 'cares' for my clients in the same ways as I do, with respect, dignity, friendliness and professionalism.

Home

Instead are a breath of fresh air to the care profession!!!

They are so kind, caring and friendly but also extremely professional.

I know my clients are in safe hands with Home Instead and would (and have) recommend them to anyone who is looking for a care agency who will treat their loved one as they deserve.

Overall Experience

Home Instead's care and consideration for my mother following her discharge from the hospital over a number of weeks was absolutely superlative. Always kind and compassionate, each carer forged a personal bond with her and make the effort to get to know her and her priorities and preferences. Each also

took the time to talk to my father as well as to her and every visit became something to look forward to for both of them. It soon felt like there were old friends in the house, with lots of conversation and laughter accompanying every visit, as well as meticulous clinical and pastoral care. I cannot recommend Home Instead and their teams of dedicated professional carers more highly. I know my father feels the same, even though he was initially cautious about people he didn't know coming round - but he soon got to know them well and to trust and respect them immensely. It was not just my parents that appreciated the very special input of Home Instead, but our whole family.

Overall Experience

Very friendly and professional caregiving team, who have all created a strong rapport and trust with my uncle within a very short time. They are efficient, arriving on time and leaving as required. Personal care has been delivered at a high level with perseverance and continued encouragement in a gentle

yet assertive way. Service has extended to include laundry and prompting of medication, which is great. Communication between carers, management and office team has been excellent to date and we feel our ideas and (rare) concerns are listened to carefully and addressed promptly by circulating an email to all the team. Some actions are still 'work in progress' which is understandable when working with a bright and very independent minded gentleman! Continuity is also a strong factor with the team mainly being the same three Care Givers. Overall, we are very happy to have chosen Home Instead.
