Good, 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

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

Did 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.

dont waste your time, Bethlehem, PA was working for a client and everything was going well. as soon as I had enough hours to get benefits I got a text message from owner that I was fired with no explanation. They told my client I quit, but that was rectified when he hired me privately and ditched home instead. They are a greedy , low life, low integrity company who treats employees like garbage and clients even worse. They also show up at unemployent hearings with lawyers and battle your unemployment claim. Go elsewhere.

Awful Company. Avoid working for them or using them. Have worked for this company for a while. Terrible training, incompetent management, badly organised, under paid and erratic hours. Don’t care one bit about their staff and employ half wits who couldn’t look after a goldfish rather than a person. Can’t divide work up properly, move people around clients so they can’t develop a bond and tell lies when a client doesn’t want them anymore or asks for a new cared. I wouldn’t have them near a relative of mine.
