Care That Fits: Client and Care Professional Matching in Chesterfield
At Home Instead Chesterfield, we take time to match our clients with the right Care Professionals to build real, lasting connections that support better care.
At Home Instead Chesterfield, we know inviting someone into your home for care is a big step. That’s why we take extra care to match each client with the right Care Professional – someone you’ll feel at ease with, enjoy spending time with, and build trust in.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Everyone’s needs are different, and so are personalities. For us, good care means more than just ticking tasks off a list, it’s about making each visit feel like a catch-up with a trusted friend.
Getting to Know You
Our matching process starts with a friendly chat. Whether it’s you or a loved one looking for care, we take time to learn about routines, support needs, interests, and what kind of person you’d feel most comfortable with.
Are you more at ease with someone chatty or quiet? Would you prefer a Care Professional who shares your love of baking or walking the dog? Or someone with experience supporting similar health needs? These are the things we listen for because they help us get the match just right.
Choosing the Right Care Professional
Once we’ve built a clear picture, we find the best fit from our Care Professional team. We consider experience, availability, personality and shared interests.
If you’re living with dementia, we’ll provide a Care Professional who is specially trained in dementia care. If you love gardening, we’ll match you with someone who’s happiest with their hands in the soil too. It’s about finding someone who not only knows what they’re doing, but who feels like a good pairing to your personality.
A Trusted and Familiar Face
Before any care begins, we’ll introduce you to your Care Professional. This meet-and-greet gives you the chance to get to know them and helps you feel comfortable. Your Care Professional will soon become a trusted presence in your home, fitting easily into your routines. Your comfort and confidence come first.
Consistency Matters
We’re big believers in consistent care, so you won’t have someone different showing up every time. Seeing the same Care Professional regularly helps build strong relationships and makes day-to-day life feel easier and more familiar. It’s one of the reasons our clients often say their Care Professionals feel more like friends.
Why the Right Match Is Important
When the match is right, everything works better. Communication is easier, trust builds faster, and support becomes more enjoyable. It also means Care Professionals can notice changes early, because they know the person they’re supporting well.
We believe care should always be personal. It’s not just about tasks, it’s about people. That’s why we put so much effort into getting the right match from the start.
