The Darlington & Northallerton Home Help & House Keeping team, here to help every step of the way
As we get older, tasks that once felt straightforward – keeping on top of the laundry, managing the shopping, getting the bins out – can start to feel more challenging. Our home help and housekeeping in Darlington, Northallerton, Richmond in North Yorkshire or Barnard Castle gives your loved one a hand with everyday tasks, helping them stay comfortable and independent at home. We support clients across Darlington, Northallerton, Richmond in North Yorkshire, and surrounding areas including Barnard Castle, Bedale and Leyburn with everything from light housework and meal preparation to keeping the fridge stocked and making sure prescriptions are collected. Each visit lasts at least an hour, and we tailor the support around your loved one’s routine and preferences, so everything gets done just the way they like it.

Why Home Help & House Keeping may be right for you
For us, care is not about ticking off a list of household tasks. Our Care Professionals are also ensuring each person is living well at home. Is mum eating well? Is dad taking his medications? Has the post been opened? Are they getting out of the house regularly? These small details matter because they help us spot early signs that someone might be struggling, and we can alert families before little issues become bigger concerns. Supporting both the practical side and someone’s overall wellbeing is what helps people maintain their independence for longer. It gives families real peace of mind knowing their loved one is being looked after with real care and attention.
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.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
It is such a help to me knowing that Martin is being looked after by such caring, committed caregivers whether showering him in the morning or looking after him when I have time out. They become one of the family and all are very valued. – Client’s wifeA.R.
Without home Instead care my husband would be in a nursing home, which would be distressing to us both. Home Instead care also support me in being able to continue some respite time. – Client’s wifeSue
I’m always very grateful to you for the high standards of care provided and for the way you have responded quickly to any changes in care requests. The staff and carers are all fantastic, and as a family we certainly couldn’t maintain my mother’s care at home without you. Client’s daughterKD
Tailored Home Help & House Keeping in Darlington & Northallerton
Families often tell us how much this attentive approach means to them. One client wrote on homecare.co.uk that their Care Professional has been “very supportive and willing to help out in lots of ways – shopping, ironing and cleaning,” adding that after spending time in hospital, “she has been a great help, cleaning cupboards etc. which I can no longer do myself.” Another family valued how responsive the office team were, explaining that “any concerns have been addressed immediately by the manager” and that they feel “the manager is always available to listen to us and improve the service delivered in order to provide a bespoke care package.” That flexibility and genuine attention to what matters is what home help should be about.
