Our carer is helping me mostly, to give me a break from caring for my husband since Covid in 2020. So to have a break from bed changing, hoovering, ironing etc is wonderful. Our carer is friendly, cheerful and equally at home chatting to my husband who looks forward to her visits as much as I do!

Since my carer started to come to help with personal care, life has been much easier for me. From first meeting her she exudes confidence and care. She helps my husband to keep occupied by doing handicrafts, jigsaws etc with him.
Home instead is a brilliant company, knowledgeable and caring. They
took care to match him with the carer and I have great confidence in them.

We have used Home instead now for a few months. From the start the service was both friendly and professional. Time was taken not just to understand our needs, but also to understand the person they are supporting. Their likes and dislikes, character and nature. The visits are always on time, the carers
have a relationship with the client and genuinely care about them. Time is taken not just on the task but on the person themselves. I can honestly say the carers do care about the person they are looking after and consequently their visit is looked forward to. It's is without doubt excellent and something that has helped us considerably. The contact and follow up from the office is also very good, and we feel we are listened to and supported.

I have used Home Instead for nearly 5 months. I am very happy with the carers who are friendly, caring and helpful.
I am very pleased with the cooking ability of the carers, but they are rather reluctant to iron.
On the whole and excellent service.

Reply from Elia Takkos, Director at Home Instead (Warminster and West Wiltshire)

Dear Betty, Thank you for your feedback. We will be investigating the reluctance to iron, to find out what the reasons are. I am confident we can resolve the problem.

The family have been very happy with the care provided for my mother, the carers are lovely, so easy to talk to too and feel part of the family. I feel very comfortable with the fact my mother has carers that like their job and really take care of their customers.
The agency has always accommodated
mum's ever-increasing care needs and are always there to listen and talk to.
I would recommend Home Instead to anyone who asked.

We have been very happy with the individual service given by the caregivers. The personal care is excellent. The caregivers are also good company in the evenings and try to take an interest in the subjects my father is interested in for good conversation.
We would be lost without their help.

Home Instead and all their carers have been brilliant for my Mum.
There was some trepidation in making the decision to get Mum help at home as she is quite particular about things.
My brother, sister, myself and my wife don’t think we could have found better. Not even doing it ourselves would have
matched the care and consideration provided by Home Instead.

Outstanding staff, both caregivers and office. Service provided is impeccable! Can’t fault anything; attention to detail, support for family, personal kindness and always going over and above. We more than recommend to anyone seeking a professional, dedicated, client-centred domicile service.

The experience was difficult to turn up because there was significant change in the care required due to being left alone whilst expecting the arrival of transport overnight. The general care was good because I required more attention than most - this means that many items were not done as normal and
required more time and to be carefully done e.g. application of hearing equipment. Preparation of medication is excellent.

Most of the carers I've had have been good and caring but others I would not want them back anywhere near me. I like and want continuity with whom you give me.

Reply from Elia Takkos, Director at Home Instead (Warminster and West Wiltshire)

We can only apologise for your experience.
We train and select the most caring and compassionate CAREGivers. However, if you are not happy with a specific person, we will replace them. Our Client Experience Manager will get in touch immediately and work together with you to see how best we can improve the situation.

My mother-in-law has dementia and is housebound. She receives first class care and we are extremely happy with the service. The carers always go the extra mile to help. Knowing my mother-in-law is well looked after gives us peace of mind.
