GBWe've used home instead for around 4… We've used home instead for around 4 years and all in all its been an awful experience carers leaving their client in the incompetence pants and nothing else for 20mins plus. A carer has been showing up ill and spreading her germs all over my sick grandmother and my grandfather is now sick because of the 2 months she's been coughing her guts up in the faces. Had a carer even sit and watch TV while her client was crying and distressed and she did nothing. Just awful all around Now it's £32 ph it's a complete scam. Out of about 5 carers we see 2 of them do them job without being corrected after years of being here.

GBAVOID AVOID AVOID lots of reaearch. This 'care' company in my experience was totally inaquate. They failed my Mum in not providing meals, left food to go bad. I had to prompt them in almost all espects of basic care requirements for my Mum. They were useless and staff changed far too often. Care staff wages very poor compared to other care companies. I changed to a far better company called 'Second to None'....total turn around for my Mum...I didnt need to supervise them. There isn't an option to provide zero stars

AUDid not find their promises fulfilled at anytime. After 2 years dealing with Home Instead and during a hospital stay a welfare worker spoke to me regarding the expectation I should have experienced with my provider. A second stay in hospital another welfare worker spoke of similar expectations. I was very surprised to hear that both support workers had the same reaction, I had been self managing all this time. Home Instead were not fulfilling their part of the contract. I completed to ADA Australian who opened a case against rd Home Instead and agreed that I had been self managing. I had 5 care managers during this time and found mixed attitudes of rudeness, aggressiveness, poor communication, inability to provide suitable trades, miss direction and in some cases miss reputations of the truth. Looking back now I can see I was self managing but still paying their fees. Our contract terminates on the 12 th of February.

GBGood, caring support and new management excellent My mother is supported by Home Instead. Although she was initially reluctant to agree that she needed care, she is now very happy and looks forward to her visits. Her carers are kind and supportive, and generally keep good notes which helps me to keep an eye on what is happening with her (she has dementia so is not able to tell me much about what has happened). The relatively new management has been excellent, and I have been listened to and concerns responded to quickly
