The Doncaster Personal Care team, here to help every step of the way
Personal care means offering support with those intimate, everyday tasks that can become more difficult as we age such as getting washed and dressed in the morning, taking a bath or shower, brushing hair, or managing continence care. We understand this can often be something many people find hard to talk about or initiate, but it’s a natural part of growing older, and we always approach it with dignity, kindness and respect. Our Care Professionals in Doncaster are specially trained in personal care, from safe moving and handling to offering gentle support with patience and understanding. Across Doncaster, Balby, Cantley and the surrounding area, we help older adults live independently and at ease in their own home, while easing the responsibilities of family members who may have been trying to support a loved one all on their own.

Why Personal Care may be right for you
Continuity matters enormously when it comes to providing personal care. We match clients with the same Care Professional or a small, consistent team, so your loved one isn’t having to get used to new faces every week. This means the Care Professional learns exactly how your mum likes her hair done, which outfit your dad prefers on a Tuesday, or the particular way someone feels most comfortable during a shower. That familiarity builds trust, and it means personal care feels less clinical and more like being looked after by someone who genuinely knows and cares about 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.
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 Personal Care in Doncaster
C M wrote on homecare.co.uk about how her mother-in-law, who had Alzheimer’s, received personal care that was always handled with “attention to detail, no shortcuts, no rushing off to the next call.” She valued how the carers “took the time to get to know her, and kept everything just how she liked it.” Elizabeth M described how the care staff have been “very caring, kind and hard working” with her dad, adding that both her parents “appreciate their care and kindness.” When personal care is delivered with this level of thoughtfulness and respect, it makes an enormous difference to how someone feels about receiving support.

Trusted Personal Care from experienced home care professionals in Doncaster
Every Care Professional completes in-depth training in personal care before they start working with clients, and this is overseen by Jade Ebden, our Operations Manager with over 20 years of care experience. The training covers not just the practical skills but also how to preserve dignity, communicate sensitively, and adapt to each person’s preferences and needs. Nina Hanson, our Client Experience and Quality Lead, ensures families are kept informed and supported throughout, so if anything changes or you have concerns, we’re always available to talk things through and adjust the care plan.
Additional support and activities in Doncaster
Our relationships with local GPs, pharmacists and healthcare providers across Doncaster mean personal care is part of a joined-up approach to your loved one’s wellbeing. If a district nurse needs to visit, or medications need reviewing, we can coordinate that smoothly. We also run community events like our Sporting Friendship Group at Knights Rugby Club in Armthorpe and monthly Friendship Lunches at The Highwayman and Woodfield Farm, giving clients opportunities to stay socially connected. Personal care at home doesn’t mean isolation – we’re here to support the whole person, both at home and in the community.
