“Home Instead are excellent. The caregivers take a real genuine interest in my Mother and are very reliable, encouraging her to eat/drink, helping with personal care, making soup, washing dishes and tidying the kitchen. The Office Staff/Managers give regular updates and has changed times or added extra hours to suit my needs. It has enabled me to go out and buy groceries, help at the youth club and go on a weekend away, knowing that my Mum was getting well cared for. Also the training, care planning and client journal records are very professional …”
Son of a Client – Gilford, Co.Down
“The care I receive from Home Instead is really good. Now I have a clean tidy home, my grocery delivery is put away, my ironing is done and my letters posted. Many other things that I find difficult to do are carried put cheerfully and willingly by my caregiver. My caregiver is well matched to my needs and the worry about coping alone has diminished. She is a kindly, caring person who never rushes me and I enjoy her company. My caregiver gives me the support I need to continue living at home and I look forward to her visits.”
Client, Moira
“The Home Instead staff are lovely – friendly and professional. Mum, who is 99, loves the attention and the time they can spend, not just doing the caring tasks but chatting, laughing, reminiscing. Can’t recommend them enough!”
Daughter of a Client, Banbridge
“The whole team at Home Instead, from the Office to the Carers are kind, considerate and respectful. They have taken time to get to know me and accommodate my personal needs. Whoever I speak to is helpful, cheerful and treat each other and myself with the upmost dignity. I really appreciate the professional but empathetic and friendly approach.”
Client, Banbridge

Client, Moira
“They always say first impressions are so important and I must say your staff are so caring, considerate and kind. Roisin and Carol were a delight to introduce to my Mum today. Please pass on my thanks to them. They were so professional..”
Son of a Client, Lurgan
“I am the Monitoring Officer for domiciliary care services within the Southern Trust. I can confirm that on recent visits with Home Instead care agency all client’s found to be happy with care staff and administrative staff including Roisin McLeod registered care manager.
Service users and families praised the agency for their high standard of communication in those instances where there was any changes in times etc. All families of the service users visited could not recommend the agency highly enough.
In preparation for visits Roisin and her team dealt with my information requests in a timely manner and there was no issues noted in obtaining any records. If the administrative staff could not help they ensured a timely follow up by Roisin.
The nature of my post requires regular contact with the agency and to date I have not encountered any issues with their communication or willingness to provide any information that has been requested of them in a timely manner.”
Monitoring Officer, Independent Sector, Banbridge Health and Care Centre
“I would happily recommend Una, Roisin and all at Home Instead (Banbridge, Newry & Mourne). Getting gradually more frail, and following a lengthy spell in hospital, it was clear my mum needed help. Once we’d got in touch, the process was very easy. As care manager, Roisin cane out to the house, met both myself and my mum and fully discussed our needs. She then quickly arranged a first-rate team of carers – Linda, Jackie, May and Maria – all of whom were polite, punctual and a pleasure to have around. Most importantly, they took a genuine interest in my mum and, coming and going, were always respectful to both her and her home – thank you so much again.”

Search here if you cannot see your town or postcode - What is domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care, also known as home care, refers to a range of supportive services provided to individuals who require assistance with daily activities but wish to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. This type of care is tailored to the specific needs of each person and can include tasks such as personal assistance, meal preparation, companionship, and even light housekeeping. Domiciliary care allows the elderly to maintain a degree of independence while receiving the necessary support to lead a fulfilling and safe life at home, with peace of mind for their loved ones knowing that they have support.
Discover More - Why choose domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care allows elderly people to remain at home in a familiar environment – boosting wellbeing and happiness – while promoting independence and autonomy, providing personalised and family-involved care, being cost-effective compared to institutional options like care homes, reducing lifestyle disruption and helping to maintain routines. All these things can contribute to better emotional and mental wellbeing, but also provide peace of mind to elderly individuals and their families. The decision to opt for domiciliary care depends on individual needs and circumstances, with many of the advantages stemming from its tailored, in-home support.
- How does domiciliary care help?
Domiciliary care provides valuable support to elderly people by offering a range of services tailored to their needs that are delivered within the comfort of their own homes. These services can include assistance with daily activities such as personal hygiene, grooming, dressing, and medication management. Care Professionals can aid in meal preparation, ensure proper nutrition, and help with mobility. Companionship and social interaction are also crucial components, addressing feelings of isolation and loneliness.
It is also a great way to enhance the safety of elderly people at home, reducing the risk of falls and accidents through monitoring and support. Household tasks like cleaning and laundry can be managed too, alleviating more stress. All of these types of help together means that domiciliary care promotes independence, enhances quality of life, and provides a sense of well-being and security for elderly people who may have difficulty managing on their own.
- How much is domiciliary care?
The cost of domiciliary care can vary widely depending on factors such as the level of care needed, the number of hours of care required, the geographic location, and the specific services provided. Generally, domiciliary care costs are broken down into hourly rates, and the total expense can accumulate over time. Domiciliary care can often be more affordable than moving to a care facility, but it’s essential to research and understand the costs of services covered by the fees to make the right choices for yourself or your loved ones.
- Is domiciliary care good value/cost effective?
Domiciliary care can often provide very good value and be highly cost-effective, especially when compared to the expenses associated with moving into a care home or similar residential facility. While the exact costs depend on individual needs and location, receiving personalised care in the comfort of home can be more affordable and efficient in terms of both financial investment and comparative wellbeing. Having care and support delivered at home allows seniors to maintain their independence, avoid the costs associated with residential care, and receive tailored assistance that can enhance their quality of life. However, it’s important to thoroughly assess the specific services, rates, and available funding options to make an informed decision about the cost-effectiveness of domiciliary care for your specific situation.
- How is domiciliary care funded?
Domiciliary care can be funded through several avenues. Private payments allow individuals and/or their families to cover costs directly, while long-term care insurance policies may also provide coverage to help. Government support is available through programs like the National Health Service (NHS) and local authorities, which offer assistance based on care needs and financial circumstances. Veterans may access funding through veterans’ benefits, and charitable organisations or grants can provide additional financial aid. Both personal budgets and direct payments are generally offered by local authorities, giving people more direct control over how to fund care services. Navigating these funding options usually entails meeting eligibility criteria, and selecting the best-suited avenues for the financial and care requirements you or your loved ones have.
- Who might use a domiciliary care service?
Domiciliary care services are sought by all kinds of people who require support to maintain their independence and wellbeing as they age, or to help ease back into a routine at home after surgery or in the case of long term illness. Family caregivers seeking respite and support also often welcome at-home support to help with managing long term care, and it can be highly beneficial to elderly people who may feel isolated or lonely, as Care Professionals provide companionship and social interaction. Anyone in need of personalised assistance and support with daily activities within the comfort of their own home can benefit from some form of domiciliary care.
- What is the role of a domiciliary care worker?
A domiciliary care worker’s role involves providing tailored support to seniors within their homes. Workers assist with personal care tasks like bathing and grooming, aid in mobility, prepare nutritious meals, offer companionship, manage medications, perform light housekeeping, provide transportation, and monitor health conditions. Their responsibilities extend to emotional support, safety awareness, documentation, and collaboration with healthcare professionals. By promoting independence and well-being, Care Professionals providing domiciliary care play a crucial role in helping the elderly to maintain a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle within their own homes rather than needing to be taken into a residential facility.
- What is the difference between domiciliary care and residential care?
Domiciliary care, or home care, offers personalised support within an individual’s own residence, encompassing tasks like personal care and companionship. It allows seniors to remain at home while receiving the necessary assistance. In contrast, residential care involves relocating individuals to specialised facilities such as assisted living or nursing homes, where they receive around-the-clock care, including help with personal needs, meals, and medical requirements. The decision between these options hinges on someone’s particular care needs and their preference for staying at home or transitioning to a residential care facility.
- What domiciliary care services can you provide?
