Our client's care journey with Home Instead is truly inspiring
After a stroke left him needing support at home and with family abroad, he found solace in our care. Despite initial reluctance, to accept care at home our client relaxed the most in the comfortable of his personal space.
Initially, our client only needed minimal support, one hour calls for food preparation and medication but as his health needs grew, so did our care.

He has gained confidence, structure, and joy in his daily life. Even with dementia, Shani’s support has been transformative, bringing back a sense of normality.
Our client’s progress is evident to all who know him. With a structured routine and personalised care, he is thriving like never before. From outings to the beautician to simple pleasures like enjoying a film, every moment is cherished.
Our client’s story is a testament to the power of compassionate and tailored care at home. At Home Instead Altrincham, Sale, and Wythenshawe, we’re proud to be a part of his remarkable journey.
