“We were put in touch with Home Instead when my husband was very ill, and coming out of hospital. We did not know quite how ill at the time, but we did know that he would find it difficult/impossible to do all the usual things a person can do when they are well; that he would hate the loss of independence, and that we wanted him to be at home but realised we could not cope without help. Home Instead were recommended highly by a friend so we took the plunkge. Frome the first contact they were professional, kind, sensitive and encouraging. Nothing seemed impossible. This was in marked contrast to other agencies we also approached. Home Instead offered a very personal service , tailored to our specific needs, and got the picture long before they met the patient. I appreciated their efficiency and attention to detail, and this was before I even met the carers. That was a very pleasant experience. We had a programme of help in the morning and help in the evening. The carers were completely wonderful. They nursed with gentleness and tact, and the minimum of interference. They were quiet and clean and tactful and experienced and delightful. We felt very lucky to get the support we needed even more than we realised. I could not recommend this service more”
