Get in touch Why Day Care may be right for you
Each day care plan gets built around the individual – their interests, abilities and what would genuinely enhance their wellbeing. For some clients in Thorne and Dunscroft, this includes reminiscence activities that bring comfort and spark memories, particularly beneficial for those living with dementia. Others appreciate rehabilitative sessions that help rebuild confidence and mobility after a hospital stay or health setback. Our minimum one-hour visits allow proper time for engagement rather than task-focused rushing, and our Care Professionals keep families updated through our care app about activities enjoyed, meals eaten, and any observations about mood or health.
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 can’t praise the care staff enough, they have been wonderful with my dad. Always on time, very caring, kind and hard working and I know I can trust them to make sure he is OK which is such a relief. They have been a huge help to all of us, taking some of the burden of caring for my dad from my mum and putting my mind at ease knowing that someone is there to help.
Both my mum and dad are really happy with them, they enjoy their company and appreciate their care and kindness. My contact with the office has always been excellent and very professional and they have responded very quickly to any queries or concerns. Very happy with the service provided.
Elizabeth M (Daughter of Client)
I have been impressed with the care that Mum and Dad received from the very first visit to assess their needs to the daily visits from the care professionals. Whenever there was a need for additional carers, the admin team did everything they could to arrange the extra carers and nothing was too much trouble even at very short notice or out of hours!
The carers who visited and cared for Mum and Dad were wonderful. Mum and Dad both thought so! They knew that no matter who came, they would be well cared for. Mum especially enjoyed having a chat and it definitely kept her going when she was both caring for Dad and living alone.
Suzanne W (Daughter of Client)
When it became clear that my mother-in-law needed help with personal care due to Alzheimers, it felt daunting to find a care provider. Home Instead were amazing from the first contact, they put us at ease, listened to our concerns and were able to accommodate her needs.
The carers took the time to get to know her, and kept everything just how she liked it, attention to detail, no shortcuts, no rushing off to the next call. She always enjoyed their company. They helped with light housework too which was so important to her.
C M (Daughter-in-law of Client)
Tailored Day Care in Doncaster
Families tell us how much difference it makes knowing their loved one is genuinely enjoying company during the day. Suzanne W wrote on homecare.co.uk how her mum “especially enjoyed having a chat” during visits, which “definitely kept her going” both when caring for her husband and later when living alone. C M valued how carers “took the time to get to know her” and created “opportunities for social interaction,” with the team providing “a great support when she started to deteriorate.” That attentive, responsive approach helps families feel confident their loved one is thriving, not just being monitored.
