We'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.

Great company Great company, I've had lots of experience with care companies and this is by far the best. Expensive but worth it for peace of mind. Far better than competition (in Cannock anyway)

Absolutely shocking experience Absolutely shocking experience. Worked with them 3 years, a waste of 3 years, horrible coworkers, management handling and people/staff skills are brutal, constant issues with pay, would never work with this company again and would certainly advise against having loved one cared for by them!

They are unreliable. This is just the fifth time they have done this. They are unreliable. They just walk off the job. They do not alert the patient. Try to find a reliable experienced caregiving company who will communicate with you, not people who just don’t show up and leave you hanging there, helpless.

Appalling standard of carer, creating risk and causing distress We were truly appalled by the standard of care and the behaviour of the carer. At the basic level, she failed to attend to water intake, leading to dehydration. She put her client at risk by undertaking an ‘outing’ which appeared to suit her social preferences, rather than the needs of her client. She drank alcohol, whilst on duty. We would NEVER use Home Instead again and we warn others to be careful about the calibre of carer that they may send
