View Full Details of Home Instead (Taunton & West Somerset)Home Instead provides a remarkable service for my father. The Care Professionals and office-based staff are genuinely caring and responsive to his needs and wishes. The excellent care has enabled him to stay at home, where he wants to be. The service is efficient and works like a well-oiled machine, but with a human touch. He enjoys seeing his carers, knows when they will come and who to expect. It may be a cliche, but Home Instead staff really do go the extra mile. They spot any subtle changes and raise concerns appropriately when necessary. Management staff contact us in an appropriate and timely manner and are a pleasure to work with. This provides peace of mind as we live over 200 miles away.
Home Instead continue to provide the highest standard of care possible. They are proactive and flexible. Most importantly, they listen and adapt according to Dad's wishes, which is so important for him. He is in control of things but has advice and help where required. It is reassuring for everyone to know Dad has support of this quality to allow him to remain safely and comfortably at home. Care and support staff are fantastic and genuinely caring. I thoroughly recommend them.
Home Instead provided a caring, reliable and proactive service. The person receiving their care was at the forefront of everything they did to ensure a safe and comfortable environment within the house. When circumstances dictated they went above and beyond agreed service levels even including hospital visits. The App meant that from a distance I was aware of all the circumstances giving me peace of mind that everything necessary was being done.
I cannot recommend Home instead highly enough, they have been responsive, proactive and are genuinely caring. Using their services has given me complete peace of mind. They keep me updated regularly and are easy to contact.
Very happy with the service provided by Home Instead. They are very reliable and helpful and fulfil my needs during visits. Would recommend them to anyone. Very flexible with the visits too as some weeks I might need to change the day.
Care is very kind and helpful. All staff are so friendly.
Home Instead Taunton looked after Mum for over 4 years after Dad passed away. Mum has dementia and with her amazing team of caregivers, she was able to spend those years safely still at home prior to moving to her care home. The team provided professional, expert and knowledgeable care at every point and every day for Mum. We knew she was in safe and caring hands. Amongst other things, Mum loved her trips to the dementia-friendly activity sessions on Fridays - going with one of the team to enjoy music and dance. Home Instead were able to tailor the visits for Mum as her needs increased over the years and this allowed us to keep Mum in her own home where she was happy and all was familiar. I would absolutely recommend Home Instead if anyone is looking for care for themselves or a loved one. High standards from caring, compassionate caregivers and support from the office team meant that Mum was so well looked after and we as a family felt the support extended to us always. Thank you everyone!
We had Home Instead come to help care for my dad before he died a few years ago so they were a natural choice for when my mum needed help with personal care after she broke her arm last year. She loves the ladies who come and help her. They have been great with making sure she does her exercises and takes her medication, and good company for her first thing in the morning, even though she is more independent now.
Home Instead in Taunton have been quite simply outstanding in their support of my parents over the last 7 years. Initially providing support for my mother who was living with dementia, Home Instead knew exactly how to make life easier for my father and more rewarding for my mother. This allowed the family to create many treasured memories. Over the last 3 years, my father has been able to live independently at home (despite increasing mobility issues) much longer than I had thought possible. There is no doubt that my father was able to rely totally on Home Instead and he would often tell me that he could not have lived at home without their incredible care and compassion. I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead to anyone who is looking for care at home in the Taunton area.
In the middle of 2023, my sisters and I were looking to raise the standard of care for my 93-year-old father. We wanted an organization that shared our values and commitment to enable him to continue living in the family home for as long as possible. He has lived on his own for over 20 years and has built an established relationship with the community and didn't want to upset the balance of caring friends, willing helpers, and committed care providers. We reviewed many organizations, and settled on Home Instead, based in Taunton. They were interested in my Father, his life, and his experiences and came across as professional and well-run, communicative, and prepared to go the extra mile to ensure that everything my father needed and wanted was provided for. They have consistently delivered everything we could have asked them for, and have no hesitation in recommending the senior care professional and his team to any prospective family looking to do the same.
My Aunt has used the services of Home Instead for many years, gradually needing increases in levels of support and frequency of daily visits, as a result of which she has been able to continue living independently in her own home, as she preferred, into her mid-nineties, up to point where residential care has now become a necessary alternative. The various members of the Home Instead team have not only provided the care she required but also companionship and friendship in their contact with her. The administration staff have also been most helpful in dealings with the family. The family lives some distance away, and knowing that our Aunt was being well cared for has been reassuring.
I recently had the pleasure of working with the Manager and his team at Home Instead to provide care for my client. From the moment I reached out to them, I was impressed by their efficiency, friendliness, and professionalism. One of my main concerns was finding a care service that could provide a small team of carers who would not only be skilled in their work but also make my client feel comfortable and at ease. Home Instead exceeded my expectations in this regard. Within just a few days, the Manager and his team were able to build a strong rapport with my client. They were incredibly friendly and compassionate, which helped create a positive and nurturing environment. My client felt safe and supported, which was a huge relief for the family. I want to extend a big thank you to the Manager and his lovely team at Home Instead. Their dedication to providing excellent care and creating a warm and friendly atmosphere truly made a difference in my client's life. I highly recommend their services.
The support and care my father received was invaluable. Over the years, the staff, both in the office and at my father's home were friendly, caring and professional. The Home Instead team, not only supported my father, but also myself. I found the care app was very useful and reassuring. Thank you for everything.
Our relative has been having support from Home Instead for at least the past 18 months. During this time, they have shown outstanding care in all areas. Our relative is delighted with the support she receives from the carers, which is now on a daily basis. The office staff are helpful and practical and excellent at knowing and understanding the needs of the client. We have popped into the office without notice a few times. The staff are always welcoming and accommodating. They always make time to talk to us and agree the way forward. We get emails and phone calls, too. Everything is managed in a positive way. We feel that our relative is in the safest hands possible. We would like to thank Home Instead for their outstanding support.
We are in our mid 80's and need cleaning help in the home. We are very pleased with our care provider and Home Instead keep in touch with us to see that our needs are being met at present and what help we may need in the future.
My mum has been having support from Home Instead for a few years now. It’s important to Mum to be at home, all of her carers are excellent friendly people I can’t rate them highly enough. Nothing is too much trouble and her staff team remain stable with very little change unless of course someone leaves. All new staff are introduced to Mum prior to their visit, Mum finds this a bit strange but understands that they need to meet her before they start working with her. Staff visit every day at the same time and come as the rota states with very few staff changes unless we are notified before. We have had experience with other providers but they do not match what we receive from Home Instead.
Home Instead supported my mother for over 12 months and was excellent. The care professionals go above and beyond in trying to help, even in challenging circumstances. They adapted visits to suit my mother so if she wanted to chat they made time for this but if she didn’t, they focussed on other tasks and communicated anything unfinished for the next visit. The app for checking on how visits have gone has been so useful, particularly as I am not local to my mother, unlike my siblings. I also like how any new staff were always introduced first to a familiar care professional. The office staff always email separately to raise any identified concerns which is helpful (or call if more urgent). They have even collected medication for us or called the GP for advice if family were unavailable. Thank you to all at Home Instead- I would highly recommend them.
My sister was diagnosed with dementia in May 2021. At that time she said she wanted to stay in her own home for as long as she could. She also has type 2 diabetes and is not very mobile. There was also very few friends and family who could help and care for her. As my sister would need more help as time went by I contacted Home Instead. I had had excellent personal recommendations for this company and was impressed by their reviews. They have been helping me now with my sister since September 2022. We started with 2 hours a week which has now increased to 3 hours. The Home Instead carers have been excellent with my sister, she can be a little difficult at times due to her dementia and her character. The carers are punctual, there is good communication between us and they offer my sister much kindness, companionship and help. Communication with the Home Instead office is also very good. I highly recommend them.
My mum has received visits from Home Instead (Taunton & West Somerset) care professionals for over a year now. I can't rate them highly enough, they are professional, caring and very aware of Mum's personal interests, and tailor outings to suit her interests. The correspondence with us is amazing, from scheduling to any issues with medication etc. Thank you Home Instead (Taunton & West Somerset) for making a difficult time much easier to manage.
All the caregivers at Home Instead (Taunton & West Somerset) are fantastic with my nan. They are attentive and supportive of her needs and very thoughtful. The staff supporting them behind the scenes in the office are always helpful and nothing seems to much trouble. They come highly recommended for communication and organisation at all levels. Thank you to everyone on the staff at Home Instead Taunton you are doing a fantastic job.
