Our parents have been using Home Instead for nearly two years now and the company really does go above and beyond! The care staff are very professional, very efficient and, most importantly, very caring. The whole company has been a very valuable support to both my parents. I would highly recommend!

Home Instead provided an excellent service and the carers who came to support and look after my mum were absolutely lovely. They were punctual, efficient and caring and provided companionship for my mum, which she very much enjoyed. We will both miss their visits.

We have been using Home Instead services for almost two years now, having finally got my husband's dementia diagnosis. We started by going to the local cafe. The staff and volunteers have been brilliant, offering a wide variety of activities, friendship, laughter, movement exercise, a listening ear
and signposting to other useful services, not to mention the tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits!
All these have helped my husband and I to remain engaged with normal social activities and avoid some of the isolation and anxiety dementia can bring, More recently we have used Home Instead's companionship service. My husband very much misses male company and the ability to go out and about in the car. His companion is a lovely man who provides these and my husband has begun to engage in conversation much more than previously. I benefit from his companion's visit too by having a break from our usual daily routines.
I particularly like Home Instead's flexibility and the very personal nature of their services which surpasses that of the other care agency used when I was in hospital for a short while.

Reply from Sally Clough, Owner at Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire

We are delighted that you have both benefited from the Home Instead support. I know that your Husbands regular Care Professional enjoys the visits too so I will be sure to pass your comments on.
So pleased to hear that your visits to our local cafe have been of support. Thank you for your feedback

From initial telephone enquiries in early July 2023 to an assessment visit, followed by a 2 weekly visit to introduce staff who have helped me 3 times per week on a rota basis was handled admirably and a friendly, reassuring procedure. 'Home Instead' started with helpful visits on the 12th of August
2023 and continues. I look forward to the help I get including showering, hair washing, bed changing (including mattress turning) various household tasks and help with an exercise programme supplied by a 'falls clinic'. Which I find so reassuring, particularly for balance exercises. In total a good experience.

Reply from Lisa Brown, Registered Care Manager / Head of Care at Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire

Dear Laura, Thank you for your lovely feedback and for taking the time to write a review. It is always heartening to hear that both the care professionals and the office team have been so supportive and efficient in turn. Everyone in the team is committed to providing the best quality service available; your comments enable us to continue helping more people in our community. It is also very reassuring to hear that you are being assisted to maintain your exercise programme during our visits. We will let the team know how much you have valued their practical support and care. Thank you again.

I have found Home Instead to be very helpful and have provided me with comfort caring for my elderly mother, especially as I am not a resident in the UK.
Communication is very good and I am kept abreast of any matters as they arise.

Reply from Sally Clough, Owner at Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire

Thank you for your feedback; we are delighted that you find comfort in our approach to supporting your Mother. As you say communication is key and we take great pride in our partnership working with family members as well as her health and wellbeing experts.

A lovely team of carers have been supporting my 92-year-old Mum after she came out of a care home in April. The care given has been excellent. The carers always arrive on time and have supported my mum with all her needs and any concerns have been addressed quickly. The care may seem a little expensive
but in my opinion value for money given the quality and continuity of care received. They have helped Mum with her confidence to a point where we have been able to reduce the care she now requires so Mum can continue with her independence where possible in her own home. Communication has always been good with the team and myself.

Reply from Sally Clough, Owner at Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire

Many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. It makes such a difference to the regular and consistent Care Professionals that have supported your mum to know that the work they have done is appreciated as well as helping to improve her wellbeing. We are delighted that your mum is regaining her independence and the team will continue to focus on improving it further.

We started using Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire in May 2022 for our mother who has dementia. From our first meeting with the field care supervisor, we were delighted with the care and service she received. The ladies that went to my mother all had their own different way to
reach out to her which has been wonderful. They all do things without having to be asked eg. washing, light housework and prompting her to undertake small tasks within her abilities. She has now moved into residential care a new chapter in her life story. We can't recommend Home Instead enough for enabling her to stay independent as long as she did. Thank you to all the team it’s been a pleasure working with you all.

Reply from Lisa Brown, Registered Care Manager / Head of Care at Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire

Thank you for your kind words. We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to leave such an amazing review of the care and support that your Mother had from Home Instead. We were very privileged to be able to work alongside your Mother and you all as her family to enable her to stay at home. We will pass your kind words on to her team of Care professionals and we wish your Mother well in her new home.

We started using Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire in March for my mother-in-law who has dementia. From our first meeting with the field care supervisor, we were delighted with the care and service she receives. The three ladies that go to my mother-in-law all bring their own different
way to her which is great for her. They all do things without having to be asked i.e. put washer or dishwasher on and the fact that she now showers is amazing. My husband and I can't recommend Home Instead enough. Thank you.

We've engaged the services of Home Instead (Tamworth & Lichfield) for the past 2plus years, and are delighted with the support and care given. The team go above and beyond in support of Mum and our family. Communication is easy and always friendly and efficient. The ladies who support Mum are more like
family friends than care professionals (they are always professional). My brother and I can't be with Mum as much as we'd like, and knowing there will be a daily visit for company for Mum is priceless.

The care package we have in place is covering early evenings. However, recently we have requested two evenings - Tuesday and Saturday (late evening). Very accommodating and flexible with their package which helps cover all our needs. Cares about the person they are caring for and also very understanding
and knowledgable of that person. I cannot thank all the carers enough for all that they do in making my mom happy and comfortable in her home environment.

The Home Instead team have provided tremendous support for my wife and myself for over the past 18 months. The Care Givers have always been on time, smiling and unstinting in their concern for both our welfare. They remembered my wife's personal needs and routines and socialised with her. If time permitted
they assisted with household chores.

My husband has been receiving weekly visits from Home Instead for 12 months. He was at first reluctant to accept these visits but he now looks forward to them. Each of the three carers from whom he has had support have been friendly and caring. He was sorry when the first one moved away, but he soon
realised that her replacement was equally as good. When she moved elsewhere, he adapted well to the current person. He remembers each of them fondly - he even remembers their names, which is unusual for him and he often recalls the conversations he has had with them. We are both impressed by the fact that Home Instead will not send anyone new without first introducing that person to us. If I need to contact the office, I invariably get a quick and friendly response on the phone and, should the person I need to speak to not be available, they can be relied upon to contact me as soon as they are able. The quarterly reviews are always helpful and are much more than a mere formality.

Home Instead caregivers have been very supportive in helping to care for our elderly mother who has dementia and mobility problems. We are able to access Home Instead's online portal on a daily basis to read the caregivers' reports following their visits. This, together with regular review meetings,
has given us much reassurance and peace of mind. The caregivers provide a range of services such as helping our mother with personal care, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and escorting her to appointments, whilst also providing companionship. They act professionally and treat Mom with dignity. I would thoroughly recommend Home Instead and the service they provide.

Reply from Sally Clough, Owner at Home Instead Lichfield, Tamworth and North Warwickshire

I am grateful for your feedback and will pass it on to the caregivers. We are so pleased that the care provided suits Mum and provides you, as a family, with the reassurance that she can live safely and independently at home.

We needed help to get my 99-year-old grandad ready for bed and provided with a meal each evening. The caregivers were exceptional and he thoroughly enjoyed their company and care. They came for an hour each evening and gave the family peace of mind he was in good hands. It provided him with some companionship
which he loved.
When grandad's health deteriorated due to his age and frailty, the care the managers and caregivers gave to grandad and me during this time was second to none. He was treated with such dignity and respect at all times and everything was always explained to him. We were helped and guided through his final days by the team to which I will be eternally grateful.

I contacted Home Instead to provide some companionship and support for my mother who was struggling with loneliness, dementia, and the impact of giving up her car. Over the few months we have been working with them, my mum and I agree that they have been nothing short of marvellous. Our caregiver has
quickly become a trusted and invaluable support to my mother who was, at the start quite reticent about 'having a stranger in the house.' From my dealings with the supervisors and managers, I am delighted at just how friendly, professional and flexible they and their caregivers have been. My mum's caregiver has stepped in on several occasions to enable my mum to attend appointments; something that was becoming a real challenge as I live a distance away. The Lichfield and Tamworth team have made a world of difference to mums life and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
