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

GBUnprofessional trainer and unpaid training... total rip-off They will call you for unpaid induction and unpaid training with DBS cost on yourself and knowing well there is nothing to lose for them, they'll be as rough and if needed unprofessional with you only to test if they can easily push you around when you start working or not. Will make you go through a month-long online training for no pay and can very easily tell you they are not onboarding you for whatever reason when in fact its a zero-hour contract and they know they do not have enough hours to provide. Very unpleasant experience, stay away from this company. A total rip-off. (Home Instead Swansea)

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.

GBGreat 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)

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.
