How does Home Instead differ from other homecare companies/agency?
We are not an agency. We are the world’s largest, most trusted home care organisation with over 800 offices worldwide. Our Caregivers are hired directly by us, which means we deal with all the administration of payroll, taxes, PRSI and provide public and employers liability insurance. Our Quality Care managers visit the client on a periodic basis to asses the clients needs, support the Caregiver and monitor the quality of the service. We provide a back up service in the event a Caregiver is sick or on holidays. We were the first Home care organisation in Ireland to be a preferred provider for the HSE and the first to have a contract with the HSE for the provision of enhanced home care services. We have been awarded the National Services Award for our the quality of services we provide around Ireland. We are a founder member of the Irish Private Home Care Association which was set up to improve standards and help make home care more affordable for older people and their families.
