Care Company in Oldham and Saddleworth wins Top Award

An Oldham and Saddleworth based care company has been honoured with a top regional award.

Home Instead Senior Care specialises in providing at-home care to older people, and has been named as one of the 20 most recommended providers in the Home Care Awards 2019.

Mick Sheehan, co-owner of Home Instead Senior Care, said: "We're absolutely delighted to have received the Top 20 award from homecare.co.uk.

It's a real testament to the dedication and hard work of all the team here in Oldham. Thank you to all the clients who took the time to leave us reviews and kind words, it means a lot!"

Homecare.co.uk is the Trip Advisor of the home-care industry. The independent review site lists all registered UK home-care providers and publishes verified pieces of independent feedback, submitted by the public.

Over 10,000 people post reviews to the site each year and this is the fourth year that Home Instead Senior Care has placed in a top spot.

The exceptional reviews covered multiple areas, including staff, care/support, management, ‘treated with dignity’, value for money and overall standard.

Across the board, reviewers displayed high levels of confidence in the company and it achieved an enviable overall rating of 9.9 out of 10.

One of the reviews of Home Instead reads: “I have nothing but praise for Home Instead, their caregivers and managers. From day one they have been efficient and accommodating. I have always felt that my mum was in safe hands. Her carers quickly formed a positive relationship with her and she thoroughly enjoyed their visits and trusted them.”

Home Instead takes a unique, person-centred approach to home care, which benefits both clients and the team.

Clients are supported to live as independently as possible, by caregivers that they come to know well and who visit for a minimum of an hour at a time.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk, commented: “Good quality home care is essential as it enables people to stay living in their own homes and retain their independence, with their home care worker often becoming their friend and companion as well as their lifeline to the outside world.

"Home Instead Senior Care Oldham and Saddleworth has shown that it provides high-quality care and we would like to congratulate it on being one of the top home care providers in the North West!”

Home Instead provides a range of services including meal preparation, housekeeping, personal care and companionship. There are roles currently available for caregivers of all ages and backgrounds, who share a passion for care.
