Both myself and my brother are more than happy with Home Instead who seem to go above and beyond what is required. My mum seems happy with all the carers, who show love, care and compassion, and often mention on the app how she loves to sing, and the carers will sing along with her.
B B (Daughter of Client)
Always friendly and positive. On time and really caring with my mother. She looks forward to their arrival. They cover all action points, take care to detail all issues and promptly report daily activity on their app which is really useful as I live 200 miles away.
Tim M (Son of Client)
Home Instead (Northwich) began providing care for my mother in January. They matched her with a lovely care professional, and their relationship is developing well. The visits are companionship based, and the pair of them head out for coffee and lunch and run errands in the village. My mother has recently moved to the area, and the care pro has been a great help to me in sorting out the new house.
Really pleased. The team at the office are super-helpful and lovely too.Diana S (Daughter of Client)
The present carers are great.
John M (Wife of Client)
I can’t recommend the team at Home Instead highly enough, they are fantastic. Each person, whether that’s an office member or care professional, genuinely cares about my mum. They are respectful but still manage to get difficult tasks done. They have bent over backwards to accommodate everything I’ve asked of them. My mum has gone from absolutely not wanting anyone in the house, to welcoming everyone with a smile on her face. I love the fact that they don’t just rush in and out, but actually sit down with my mum, giving her companionship. I’m convinced that her dementia is not progressing as quickly as I’d feared because she now has so much good company. Thoroughly recommend.

Palliative care is an option that your clinical team may suggest if you or a loved one have received a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness, such as cancer, lung disease or Alzheimer’s. Our Care Professionals can provide support that will alleviate discomfort and stress and allow a better quality of life.
Palliative care can be started at any stage of a serious illness, though it can be recommended to start as early as possible depending on the diagnosis and the treatment required. After finding out what treatments are required you can be easily make an informed decision on when palliative care is needed.
Not necessarily. While palliative care can include end of life care, it is certainly not always the case and can last for a longer period of time. Some people are able to live comfortably for many years while receiving palliative care. The focus is always providing support as you need it to allow you to carry on with your daily life within the limits of your condition.
Our Care Professionals understand that maintaining your control over your daily life is important. Depending on what care you need for your condition you may need help with a few things or more help with a lot of your usual tasks. The level of help required is likely to change over time, but Home Instead will be there to ensure you keep as your independence for as long as possible.
During your illness you may receive successful treatment from your clinical team. Depending on the outcome of this treatment you may no longer require palliative care, however it may be beneficial to continue for a short while. During the recovery process it can be beneficial to you and your loved ones to have some relief from the physical and emotional stress a serious illness can cause.
