Get in touch Why Companionship Care may be right for you
We know that familiarity and continuity matter. That’s why we’re careful to match each client with a Care Professional who shares their interests and values, and who’ll visit regularly to form a real bond. With rates starting from £34.50 per hour, our service is focused on quality and consistency, unlike many other providers who offer shorter, task-focused “pop-in” visits. As one Client’s son shared on homecare.co.uk, “Home Instead has been excellent and reliable, always flexible to my mum’s changing needs.” This approach means that if needs evolve, we can add more support, from additional companionship hours to more comprehensive support as needed.
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. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

I have nothing but praise for the service Home Instead provided for Mum. The carers chosen were ideally matched to her needs.
I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead to anyone looking for care.
Mr B, Client's son
It was obvious that for each carer, looking after Mum was a labour of love and she looked forward to their visits and regarded them as friends. The care and kindness shown by all the carers was so helpful and welcome.
Mr J, Client's son
Our carers are sensitive and helpful, with imaginative and good memories for the daily routines we have established. They give us both great kindness and support, and for myself, strength to get through some difficult days and times.
Mrs M, Client
We have been using Home Instead for about four years and they have been nothing but brilliant. They have been caring for both my parents in a variety of ways, and have always been happy to adapt to the ever-changing needs they have asked for.
Nicky, Client's daughter
Every one of the carers who looked after Mum was absolutely marvellous with her, looking after her care needs – both mental and physical. The experience they exhibited in looking after an elderly person needing care was invaluable.
Dennis, Client's son
Mum had initially been worried about having anyone to care for her, but she quickly came to enjoy their visits and company.
Colin, Client's son
