Get in touch Why Home Help & Housekeeping may be right for you
Our support might begin with helping with a bit of housework, laundry or making a nice healthy meal together, but it often develops into something more meaningful. As one client shared: “After attending to the important tasks such as controlling medicines, ironing and light housework, they have been happy to chat with us about their and our lives, putting the world to rights.” Whether you need an hour a week or support across several days, we carefully tailor our home care services around what works best for you.
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.

We are so impressed with the standard of care my mother is receiving. My mother feels at ease and is well looked after both with personal care and generally managing around the house. Thank you to all the team.
Philip B - Son of Client
Since our carer started to help us in October 2022 for one three-hour session per week, he has proved to be friendly, reliable and competent.
He is an excellent companion with a cheerful approach, and I cannot think of anyone better to be my carer.
R.C - Wife of Client
Home Instead has covered the care needs for my father since leaving the hospital. I feel he is being cared for in the best possible way, by excellent and experienced carers. It has been a good experience for all involved.

Tailored Home Help & Housekeeping in Canterbury
The difference our approach makes shows in our clients’ experiences. One family member shared on homecare.co.uk (a national review site): “Mother has three hours of care a day… Her carer is very kind and understanding. She’s established a good relationship with mother and mother chats with her. The flat is also looking good under her care.” It’s this combination of maintaining a comfortable home while building genuine relationships that sets our service apart.
