Our older adult Day care at home across Doncaster, Bessacarr and Cantley brings companionship, support and meaningful activity to your loved one during daytime hours, helping them stay engaged and well looked after in their own home. Our Care Professionals spend time doing what your loved one genuinely enjoys – whether that’s baking together, working on a jigsaw, gentle exercises recommended by a physiotherapist, or getting out to local spots like Sandall Park or a favourite cafe in Balby. Rated 9.7 out of 10 on homecare.co.uk, families value how our day care combines practical support with genuine warmth, reducing isolation and keeping people connected to what they love.

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.
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.
Home Instead looked after my mother for 7 years. Mum had dementia and chronic osteoporosis which lead to her health deteriorating considerably over this time. The care team itself was wonderful. They took so much time and effort to look after her; taking her flowers, chocolate, games and cakes. I would strongly recommend them.JS- Daughter of the client
Home Instead Doncaster have been very good in terms of providing excellent care for my mother. They have always been reliable and adapted to changes we have needed to make. The carers have engaged well with my mum and have been very warm and caring. My mum has enjoyed having them.CP- Daughter of a client
I contacted Home Instead to arrange care for my father who needed help with having a shower and getting dressed. After an initial meeting to assess my father’s needs, a career was assigned. The career always arrived at the time agreed and the care my father received was of high quality. I would certainly recommend this company.Karen- Daughter of a 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.
