After coming out of the hospital having had a knee replacement, Home Instead ladies came to help me and my husband who was recovering from broken ribs after a fall. The care team were brilliant and so helpful doing the jobs that me and my husband normally did as we were both active before, in spite of our ages. We had them for four weeks and oh how I miss them now. It was a real treat for us for them to do jobs such as bits of shopping, hoovering, washing up etc. I will certainly recommend them 100% to any of my friends who may need help. A million thanks to Home Instead.

The care I was given was very good and I would pass the care company on to other people. The service was top-notch, they did everything they said they would do and more.

Home Instead have been providing support to my mum for almost two years. From the start, they were personable, caring and professional and this has continued during the two years as mum's needs have changed and increased. The nominated care professionals gave great support, advice and companionship as well as providing practical help such as medication administration and meal preparation. It has been a great way of enabling mum to be at home. I would also commend the scheduling team and management team who are efficient and knowledgeable. Recently, mum went to hospital for an unplanned stay and the support given during that time was flexible and invaluable. I can't recommend the team highly enough they have been fantastic with mum and a huge support to me too.

I cannot recommend this company enough. They go above and beyond to provide care. All the carers are empathetic, caring and professional. As an ex-nurse good care is hard to find in this current climate, but the manager and his team have been fantastic. My daughter-in-law's mother needed end-of-life care and this was exceptional from start until she was admitted into a hospice. In the last few days, one staff member in particular has not only cared for her but all the family as well. This made it so much easier for all. A great big thank you to you all from all the family.

The care we received from the team has been absolutely amazing. I honestly cannot thank you and the team enough. The carers were just outstanding and went above and beyond for Mum and Dad. If Mum and Dad returned to me then I wouldn't hesitate to ask for Home Instead again. Everyone involved has been so wonderful and I cannot express how much they have supported me.

Your service supplied just what I was in need of post my knee operation. Hope to call in you again when and if I have the other knee done. My only criticism I have is poor communication for a while about my key box location which involved my neighbour having to give access through her intercom.

Home Instead cared for my mum from January 2019 until she sadly passed away in December 2023. I always found them approachable and any difficulties encountered were quickly resolved. The standard of care from the caregivers was high. Mum was always treated with respect and dignity (she would have told us if she wasn't happy ) and she looked forward to their visits. For mum it really was Home Instead and ultimately that was what mattered to her and to us. Thanks again for your support Home Instead we as a family couldn't have done it without you.

Home Instead arranged homecare for my mum who has Alzheimer’s. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They listened patiently and developed a care plan to suit my mum perfectly and were so professional and helpful. We met three lovely carers during the short time we had with Home Instead, they genuinely really really care! So empathetic - to me as well as my mum as I needed a hug from time to time. Don’t hesitate - Home Instead are amazing.

Care is needed at short notice because of a fractured leg. Home instead could not have been more helpful. A quick home visit from the care manager who has been professional and put us at ease. We were extremely confident. All helpers were introduced by the manager and care started within days. The staff were delightful, looked for ways to help us, always willing and professional. We looked forward to their visits. There has been much laughter. Would definitely use it again and recommend it to others.

Delighted with the service provided by Home Instead. The carers are lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that mum is in safe hands.

After suffering a wedge fracture of my back just before Christmas and living alone I was in desperate need of help whilst I recovered. Both my children live 40 minutes away and due to their own family circumstances couldn't give me the help I needed. My daughter contacted Home Instead on my behalf and the help and care they provided was excellent plus the support they gave to get me back to the point where I could cope on my own.

"Home Instead" is a very well-run and organised small service business. The carers they employ have all been vetted and approved and have nearly all had substantial experience. Each one is "introduced" to a prospective care customer. In the unusual event of a scheduled carer being unable to fulfil the appointment, a substitute is found and proposed to the customer.

We contacted Home Instead at a desperate time in our lives. The compassion, understanding and professionalism of the manager and care providers was a welcome relief from our first meeting. An assessment of our needs and the appropriate paperwork was completed very quickly and we secured one hour per day of support. This made a huge impact straight away, giving us time and 'head-space' to more easily manage medical requirements and appointments, making meals, keeping the house tidy etc, in addition to having someone to talk to and chat with (which we found was more valuable than we thought). Throughout, we have received a reliable, trustworthy, professional and personal service. We would certainly recommend Home Instead.

Very pleased with the carers - I have a one-hour session each morning, staff are punctual, polite and carry out my wishes for personal care. Help to supervise showering and hair washing when asked. If time allows, small household jobs are completed to a high standard. The carers are careful with my belongings, cheerful and do not waste time. I appreciate that the carers are regular ie. not changing very often except for holidays/illness. The office always informs me of any changes. Thank you for the schedules and paper copy invoices.

From the moment I called Home Instead I knew that they would be able to help. We needed to get some care in place for my aunt as she was struggling to manage at home. I was so impressed with the professional, helpful and friendly service and it was a such a relief to know that things would be able to be put in place so quickly and efficiently. Within a very short space of time, due to an unfortunate set of circumstances my aunt was not able to continue living at home however Home Instead continued to help and support me as I had to make urgent respite care arrangements. Their help in this respect was invaluable and very much appreciated as it was something I'd no experience of dealing with. I would highly recommend Home Instead.

I’d like to thank the team at Home Instead, their service and support is outstanding. They are pleasure to deal with, nothing is too much trouble. My Mum has Dementia and forgets to eat, a routine of trusted support had to be implemented. With Covid travel restrictions, living overseas, it became difficult to try to find good support through websites etc. We were recommended to try “Home Instead”, from the first phone call it was clear we were dealing with a team of very professional people who were dedicated to help and who genuinely cared! My Mum is very independent and was reluctant to have anyone in her home. The care provided from the team who are visiting daily is fabulous, they very quickly worked out what the situation was and what was needed. The genuine feedback received was a weight off my mind. Every visit is on time. I can’t speak highly enough of the whole team; I would have no problem at all in recommending the Home Instead Team, they are an incredible group of people!

We contacted Home Instead when we needed to arrange urgent home care for our mother, 95. They came highly recommended from several sources locally. From the first phone call, the quality of service and care was outstanding. Their administration, reporting processes and in-depth knowledge were complemented by a team of carers who went well beyond the call of duty during the four visits each day. They very quickly understood our mother's particular needs and communication between all parties was reassuringly professional. Nothing was too much trouble and the team were all highly experienced and genuinely caring. We would recommend Home Instead without reservation.

My husbands care was excellent. The carers were very pleasant and put him at his ease, despite the intimate care involved. They combined a friendly and relaxed approach with high professional standard of hygiene and handling techniques. Managers were very involved and helpful. It was very visible that the company incested into the staff and treats them well. This isn't the company if you want a cheap service, but worth it for high standards.

I needed to rapidly find a new care company to look after my 90-year-old mum when she came out of hospital as we had been disappointed with a previous company. I live abroad so it was crucial that I found a professional company that I could rely on. From my first contact by telephone and then by emails I immediately sensed I was dealing with a professional company, extremely well organised and experienced. My mother is delighted with the carers. They arrive on time, are extremely well organised and quickly put my mother at ease. Nothing is too much for them. Caring, enthusiastic and well trained and very proactive. They are passionate about what they do. I would not hesitate in recommending them. They are superb.
