I was particularly impressed that the care provided was kind and thoughtful and there was never a feeling that someone was just doing a job. Mum was treated with dignity and respect and a desire to help find ways to improve the difficulties she was dealing with. I found that the office staff were pleasant and helpful and were responsive to any requests. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Home Instead.J.G. (Daughter)
