“We feel so blessed to have found Home Instead; my mother felt immediately at ease with the lovely ladies, including Nancy, Paula and Cate who gave her confidence that Home Instead were the right fit for her.
She thoroughly enjoys the visits and conversations and truly appreciates the essential assistance provided.
I cannot begin to describe how immeasurably Home Instead have changed our lives. Not only through the excellent care provided by the Home Instead ladies, but Carly, Joanne and the office team frequently go that extra mile, offering advice, recommendations and a kindly ear.
All of this allows my mother to stay in the home she loves, and we cannot thank Home Instead enough for that.”

Our Experienced Wokingham Care Team
Meet a few of our experienced team Wokingham care professionals.
Meet Leonie
Leonie has worked at Home Instead for the last six years, covering the Bracknell and Ascot areas. During that time, her work has included personal care, meal preparation, shopping, housekeeping, medication administration, companionship, assistance with social outings, and tasks like gardening.
“This role is perfect for me as it is very varied, and no two days are the same. The bonds I’ve built with clients over time are strong, and they know my colleagues and I are reliable, trustworthy, and responsible in all we do for them. These bonds mean a lot to me, and seeing clients flourish with our support is very special.
It feels like a privilege to encourage my clients to take advantage of the variety of activities and places to go in and around Bracknell. From day centres to coffee shops, high street shopping to churches and activity centres, it’s all available to everyone, and getting to know new people can make a big difference in someone’s life. It’s great to be a part of that.”
Meet Millie
You may meet Millie as one of our dedicated care managers. Covering the Bracknell and wider areas in Ascot, Camberley and Wokingham. She works on the ground and in the office to support care pros and clients. You’ll find her a happy and detail-oriented member of your care team.
“I love the role I work in. It gives me the opportunity to create those bonds with both clients and staff.
Knowing that you make a difference in someone’s life is the best feeling; being able to watch clients gain trust with you and grow without support is the best to see.
And Bracknell is a great area to work, as it has so many great activities that we can encourage our clients to take part in. Seeing them thrive in their social interaction shows we are giving the right emotional support, alongside the physical.
Working inside the office and outside in the field allows me to create the best for our clients.”
How We Support Seniors in Wokingham
Wokingham is a charming market town, close to many country parks. But with a sharp increase in those over 50, social care is under pressure.
Localised home care is a great solution, as we can provide care at home while maintaining independence and community connections. To deliver this, we work closely with community partners, organisations, GPs and care homes (like Alexandra Grange and Glebelands House) who understand our diverse clients’ needs.

Wokingham Home Care FAQs
Is home care better than social care?
The NHS has encountered significant hurdles recently, primarily from an increasing population and declining funds. To address the pressing issue of lengthy waiting lists for social care, the strategy known as “ageing in place” was proposed. However, this initiative is facing its own challenges and is expected to continue to do so.
Private home care services offer timely, comprehensive care and holistic support options like condition-led care, live-in care and housekeeping.
Is home care better than a care home?
Studies have shown that your loved ones emotional and mental well-being will be much better supported at home – which has a knock on effect on their physical condition. With good quality home care they can maintain connections to their community, friends, and neighbours, boosting their independence, self-worth and ultimately their health.
Can home care support couples? And pets?
Absolutely! We can provide home care for one or both individuals to help them continue living comfortably in the home they cherish for years to come. We can also assist in caring for Mum and Dad’s pets.
How much does home care cost in Wokingham? And can you get funding?
Home care costs will vary from person to person. But you don’t need an all-in approach. Many people start with just a few hours every couple of weeks for chores, doctor appointments or shopping, which would be covered by as little as £150 a month.
As for funding. Partial help may be available via your local authority.
