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

If I could give less than one star I… If I could give less than one star I would! This is one of the worst companies for senior care out there. So far none of their employees know how to cook, clean, and from our experience, know how to read. We complain to the management and get nothing but lip service. Show them pictures of what their people do to "care" for our dad and still....nothing! They should be ashamed. Bigger problem is we can't find anyone to report them to, NOBODY to hold them accountable.

After training and starting work at… After training and starting work at home instead Worcester, I was not informed it would be a zero contracted hours… so as I wanted to further my career in care, I got offered a job with the NHS to work and train as a nurse associate and get a degree. I got a voice mail from the manager Karen very rudely asking what is going on, as had received a reference for me, she called me into the office and asked what it was about , when I explained I wanted to further my career in care and be a nurse associate, she snotty said “ and what is that” so I explained I’d get a degree in nursing. She said I was not a fit for home instead and would not go past my probation, which is fine by me. I said I would drop my bag of supply’s off but a family member past away, I emailed Karen explaining a family member past away and would get the bag to her the next day….. I received an email from Abby stating that I would not be getting paid for the hours I’ve worked and trained for…. I emailed back stating that By law (Employment Rights Act 1996), your employer must pay your wages on your agreed pay day, I have contacted head office through phone and email and no reply…. Avoid this care service at all cost !!!!!!!!

Only want your money Here are a few words I would describe this company Unsympathetic Pushy Greedy Demanding And charging extortionate prices in the process. My parent went from being able to walk to being hospitalised within 3 weeks of using this company and then they carried on charging us for the 30 days notice we had to give. Unbelievable.

I was very happy with kim.evansat as my manager. Any clients out there needing a live in or domiciliary carer send them an email you won't regret it.
