The Basingstoke Personal Care team, here to help every step of the way
Personal care is often the main focus of home care, and our experienced team in Basingstoke has been providing personal care services to clients across north Hampshire since 2015. Our objective is to deliver personal care assistance with respect and a commitment to preserving a client’s dignity and independence. We recognise that it is a big step to accept assistance with such a private aspect of your life, so we provide support that is carefully personalised to the individual’s needs and wishes, and we only get as involved as the client wants us to get. Feeling that your personal care has been properly attended to can make a huge difference to an individual’s comfort and sense of well-being.

Why Personal Care may be right for you
Our service will aim to maintain a client’s preferred routine and way of life. We will not intrude where we are not wanted. Personal care can start with simply being outside the door in case of difficulty whilst a client takes a shower. It can mean lending a hand to steady someone when necessary and being ready with the towel. It can mean helping to choose clothes, helping to put them on and brushing a client’s hair.
It can also of course mean continence support and more specialised assistance such as managing catheters. Whatever the details of the personal care required, our objective will be to give clients and their families the reassurance that comes from a carefully tailored and truly caring service.
What we do to care for your loved ones
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home.

We are overwhelmed with the sheer professionalism and humanity that your agency provide. You have proved to be very flexible and treat my mother with such respect and dignity. It gives us, finally, peace of mind for the times when we cannot be with mum. For that, we cannot thank you enough.
Jane, client's daughter
Each of the three regular caregivers treats my mother with the utmost kindness and respect, and she looks forward to their visits. Each of the ladies provides a different kind of experience from short outdoor walks to board games to exercise and massage. The visits have enabled her to continue to live independently in her home. I have nothing but appreciation for the work that the caregivers and other staff do, and I would recommend Home Instead (Basingstoke) to anyone in similar circumstances.
Shirley, client's daughter
I have found Home Instead (Basingstoke) to be excellent in all respects. The carers are empathetic to my wife’s needs, very caring, knowledgeable, conscientious and very affable. The management act very professionally and beyond what I would have expected, referring my wife to the local surgery when necessary.Edward, client's husband
Amazed how these carers continue to be consistently ‘on time’ with visits. They always arrive with a smile and more often than not a ‘chirpy’ remark to brighten my day. I have been using this care provider for two years and three months and would not have stayed for so long if I was not very satisfied with the quality of care they provide, not just to my wife, who lights up when they come, but also to myself.David, client's husband
Home Instead Basingstoke are very friendly, professional and conscientious. They have provided wonderful home visits and care for my mother, who is in her nineties. She greatly enjoys their visits and they are very caring and friendly. The care staff are very good and the management team run the organisation very well in my experience, and they have all been flexible, understanding and very dependable. They have maintained their high standards consistently despite the huge challenges that Covid has added to their workload. We are very grateful for the service they provide.Guy, client's son
Both my parents have been supported by Home Instead for many years and the service is, in all the family’s view, excellent. All the carers have been very professional, friendly, attentive, always going the extra mile, treat their clients with the utmost dignity and all in all provide a top class care service. The management team is also top class, very professional, always quick to respond, always providing solutions to problems, have always provided top class carers, and often come themselves to keep in touch with clients.
David, client's son
This highly professional team have looked after my mother for a couple of years. The team all demonstrate a passion for care and going the extra mile. Some of the carers became close friends to Mum. They not only provided first class care but demonstrated considerable empathy and patience. They would encourage Mum to talk of her time in the Women’s Royal Navy Service, of the family growing up and of all her memorable experiences. The visits became a social highlight for her as well as for providing essential care.Richard, client's son
Home Instead was recommended to me when it was obvious that my mum needed extra help at home. My mum was very against having someone from outside helping her but when Home Instead came along for the initial meeting my mum warmed to them straight away. They started caring for Mum and were excellent, they turned up on time, did extras like making Mum a sandwich at lunchtime and really took the strain off my husband and me.Sandra, client's daughter
The carers are highly professional, conscientious, empathetic and very caring. They provide first-class care to my 91-year-old mother which allows her to live independently in her own home. There has always been a continuity of the same carers over the past year, which has been good for Mum. I highly recommend this professional caring company.Ann, client's daughter
Home Instead carers are doing a very good job of looking after two elderly people, both suffering with dementia. Without the carers’ daily visits, these two elderly people simply could not continue to live at home, as they cannot prepare food, hot drinks, or be trusted to take their medication. Also these two elderly people need help keeping themselves washed and dressed in clean clothes, and their home clean and tidy. The home care that Home Instead provides really does make the difference between living in the family home and going into a nursing home.Paul, nephew of clients
Home Instead provide daily visits to care for my mother in law, who has Alzheimer’s and other mental health issues.
Setting up care was easy, with a thorough and understanding review of what we needed. We felt very listened to.
Carers are reliable, friendly and flexible, with the client at the centre of everything. They are knowledgeable and skilled.
I feel that my mother in law is being cared for by kind, professional people and she, and I, are very happy.Jo, client's daughter in law
Tailored Personal Care in Basingstoke
We first met Ralph when he asked us to care for his mother in Hartley Wintney, and we provided elderly personal care for her over a couple of years. Ralph, now living in Silchester, came back to us several years later after a stroke which had left him partially paralysed and in need of help. We immediately started providing Ralph with home help, keeping his house clean, washing and ironing his clothes, and preparing meals. However despite his valiant efforts, Ralph was not managing his personal care successfully. A proud man, requiring care at a much younger age than he might have anticipated, Ralph reluctantly accepted that he needed personal care services. We carefully worked out with Ralph the most acceptable ways to help him.

Trusted Personal Care from experienced home care professionals in Basingstoke
Claire lived near Baughurst, but she was no longer able to drive and her daughter, who lived in London, was concerned that Claire was becoming isolated and lonely. We started providing companionship visits to take Claire out to social events, coffee or just for a walk in Tadley or Basingstoke. Claire was becoming forgetful and it soon became clear to her daughter that Claire was neglecting her personal care. We expanded our involvement to include elderly personal care visits in the mornings, comprising a shower, selection of clothes, hair and make-up, followed by breakfast, and then the outings. Claire and her carers built particularly strong relationships.
