Have used Home Instead for many years. Carers and service always excellent
Martin (Client)
Having been recommended to Home Instead via a family member, this was the best advice. Having the same Care Professionals helped mom build a wealth of confidence in knowing who was looking after her on a regular basis and a level of trust with knowing whom was coming into her home. Mom was very pleased with the care given and that her needs were met. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your service and to thank Janet and Julie especially for their level of service and professionalism whilst caring for mom. Thank you so kindly for your care, patience and understanding.
Denise S, Daughter of Client Betty
From start to finish, the care received was spot on! The Care Professionals and office staff always went above and beyond to provide exceptional care and support.
Melissa, Family Member of Client
My family has received first-class support in all areas from the team.
My parents received excellent care from their kind and caring team. Each Care Professional treated them with dignity and cheerfulness. The care allowed my parents to remain in their own home for much longer than they had thought possible. Our wider family has also felt well supported by the office and out-of-hours team. We are deeply grateful to you all.
Anne, Daughter of Client
The care provided by Home Instead was way beyond the job described, the care they gave to both of our parents and the support they gave to us was second to none. We can never praise the girls and boys enough.
Lorraine, Daughter of Client
My dad was looked after for just over a year by Home Instead. His care was genuine, supportive and friendly. There was a real desire to help him live in the best way he could.
I appreciate the level of care my dad was given but also equally appreciate the support I was given as well.
Emma, Daughter of Client Ric.
My father started using your service after suffering a stroke in the summer of 2022, after losing his wife later on that year and with his mobility decreasing he, and we as a family looked upon the extra care and support you gave us as a godsend. Dad formed a strong bond with his regular Care Professionals, for which I have the utmost gratitude. They made the remaining time he had before he passed more easier for him and us. Thank you Home Instead Dudley and all the team.
Carl, Son of Client Ron
Mum was always a very independent lady, who was very proud of being able to look after herself. However, as her ability started to decline, she realised she was struggling to cope alone. Home Instead provided the perfect solution not just for Mum but also for us. The staff who assessed Mum initially were marvellous. The staff who looked after Mum on a daily basis soon became good friends and she enjoyed having someone she could talk to and share a joke with. It was reassuring for us to know she had someone she liked and could rely on. Thank you everyone at Home Instead.
Jayne, Daughter of Client Betty D.
We only used Home Instead for a few months because my family member sadly passed away. The Care Professionals were always punctual. My family member was treated with dignity, compassion and patience and was encouraged to do the exercise needed to improve his mobility. They were a big help and also provided a sympathetic ear. I only wish we had changed to them much sooner than we did.
Margaret, Sister of Client
Home Instead Dudley visited Dad on a regular basis for well over a year. During that time, his needs changed from fortnightly sociable drive to places of his choosing – to twice daily caring visits in his home. The Care Professionals were keen to help Dad and adapted well to his changing situation. The office team were very supportive, shared their knowledge, and communications were excellent.
Claire, Daughter of Client
Home Instead have taken great care of our elderly uncle initially and later our elderly aunt. Sadly both have now passed away, our aunt very recently. Throughout the ten years, Home Instead have taken the pressure and worry from us as we’ve known they have been taking care of our aunt and uncle and have kept us up to date with any concerns. I would highly recommend them.

Search here if you cannot see your town or postcode - What is domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care, also known as home care, refers to a range of supportive services provided to individuals who require assistance with daily activities but wish to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. This type of care is tailored to the specific needs of each person and can include tasks such as personal assistance, meal preparation, companionship, and even light housekeeping. Domiciliary care allows the elderly to maintain a degree of independence while receiving the necessary support to lead a fulfilling and safe life at home, with peace of mind for their loved ones knowing that they have support.
Discover More - Why choose domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care allows elderly people to remain at home in a familiar environment – boosting wellbeing and happiness – while promoting independence and autonomy, providing personalised and family-involved care, being cost-effective compared to institutional options like care homes, reducing lifestyle disruption and helping to maintain routines. All these things can contribute to better emotional and mental wellbeing, but also provide peace of mind to elderly individuals and their families. The decision to opt for domiciliary care depends on individual needs and circumstances, with many of the advantages stemming from its tailored, in-home support.
- How does domiciliary care help?
Domiciliary care provides valuable support to elderly people by offering a range of services tailored to their needs that are delivered within the comfort of their own homes. These services can include assistance with daily activities such as personal hygiene, grooming, dressing, and medication management. Care Professionals can aid in meal preparation, ensure proper nutrition, and help with mobility. Companionship and social interaction are also crucial components, addressing feelings of isolation and loneliness.
It is also a great way to enhance the safety of elderly people at home, reducing the risk of falls and accidents through monitoring and support. Household tasks like cleaning and laundry can be managed too, alleviating more stress. All of these types of help together means that domiciliary care promotes independence, enhances quality of life, and provides a sense of well-being and security for elderly people who may have difficulty managing on their own.
- How much is domiciliary care?
The cost of domiciliary care can vary widely depending on factors such as the level of care needed, the number of hours of care required, the geographic location, and the specific services provided. Generally, domiciliary care costs are broken down into hourly rates, and the total expense can accumulate over time. Domiciliary care can often be more affordable than moving to a care facility, but it’s essential to research and understand the costs of services covered by the fees to make the right choices for yourself or your loved ones.
- Is domiciliary care good value/cost effective?
Domiciliary care can often provide very good value and be highly cost-effective, especially when compared to the expenses associated with moving into a care home or similar residential facility. While the exact costs depend on individual needs and location, receiving personalised care in the comfort of home can be more affordable and efficient in terms of both financial investment and comparative wellbeing. Having care and support delivered at home allows seniors to maintain their independence, avoid the costs associated with residential care, and receive tailored assistance that can enhance their quality of life. However, it’s important to thoroughly assess the specific services, rates, and available funding options to make an informed decision about the cost-effectiveness of domiciliary care for your specific situation.
- How is domiciliary care funded?
Domiciliary care can be funded through several avenues. Private payments allow individuals and/or their families to cover costs directly, while long-term care insurance policies may also provide coverage to help. Government support is available through programs like the National Health Service (NHS) and local authorities, which offer assistance based on care needs and financial circumstances. Veterans may access funding through veterans’ benefits, and charitable organisations or grants can provide additional financial aid. Both personal budgets and direct payments are generally offered by local authorities, giving people more direct control over how to fund care services. Navigating these funding options usually entails meeting eligibility criteria, and selecting the best-suited avenues for the financial and care requirements you or your loved ones have.
- Who might use a domiciliary care service?
Domiciliary care services are sought by all kinds of people who require support to maintain their independence and wellbeing as they age, or to help ease back into a routine at home after surgery or in the case of long term illness. Family caregivers seeking respite and support also often welcome at-home support to help with managing long term care, and it can be highly beneficial to elderly people who may feel isolated or lonely, as Care Professionals provide companionship and social interaction. Anyone in need of personalised assistance and support with daily activities within the comfort of their own home can benefit from some form of domiciliary care.
- What is the role of a domiciliary care worker?
A domiciliary care worker’s role involves providing tailored support to seniors within their homes. Workers assist with personal care tasks like bathing and grooming, aid in mobility, prepare nutritious meals, offer companionship, manage medications, perform light housekeeping, provide transportation, and monitor health conditions. Their responsibilities extend to emotional support, safety awareness, documentation, and collaboration with healthcare professionals. By promoting independence and well-being, Care Professionals providing domiciliary care play a crucial role in helping the elderly to maintain a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle within their own homes rather than needing to be taken into a residential facility.
- What is the difference between domiciliary care and residential care?
Domiciliary care, or home care, offers personalised support within an individual’s own residence, encompassing tasks like personal care and companionship. It allows seniors to remain at home while receiving the necessary assistance. In contrast, residential care involves relocating individuals to specialised facilities such as assisted living or nursing homes, where they receive around-the-clock care, including help with personal needs, meals, and medical requirements. The decision between these options hinges on someone’s particular care needs and their preference for staying at home or transitioning to a residential care facility.
- What domiciliary care services can you provide?
At Home Instead, we provide a comprehensive range of domiciliary care services designed to help elderly adults maintain their independence and comfort within their own homes. Our offerings vary by location but typically include essential services such as companionship, where our Care Professionals engage in conversations, games, and outings, and provide emotional support. Personal care services encompass assistance with daily activities like bathing, grooming, and mobility support. Day care services offer companionship and engagement during the day, while our home help and housekeeping assistance ensure a clean and organised living environment. Overnight care, respite care, and other specialised services are available to meet unique needs. Contact your local Home Instead office to learn more about our tailored domiciliary care options.
