Working for Home Instead is a pleasure, the office staff are extremely helpful in trying to accommodate a good work life balance and matching Clients to Carers, extremely professional at all times and always on hand to resolve any queries. A joy to work for.
For me as a carer it’s about building a trusting relationship and getting to know the person as an individual as well as following all the appropriate guidelines. I might be the only person they see that day so I want to do everything I can in that time to fulfill all their needs and wishes and have a positive impact on that person’s day.
I love my role and don't really think of it as a job it’s a pleasure and a privilege that people let me in to their home to help them stay in surroundings that make them feel happy and safe. I have met the most amazing, interesting people who really brighten my day.

I have been working for home instead for 8 years now. When I started, I was 55 and had just sold my business which I had had for 23 years.
I am very dyslexic and thought there was nothing I could do. My wife suggested I try care as I used to look after my father. I rang home instead and got an interview. I explained that I was dyslexic to the Recruiter, she told me as long as I made it clear to the office staff to decipher it should be ok.
I was encouraged and assisted to do a diploma at mac college and promoted to supervisor.
I have loved every minute of my time here caring for my clients getting to know them and their stories and helping them to stay at home and be the best they can be.
It’s incredibly humbling to receive the thanks of the client and their families and would and do
recommend it to anyone who wants to have a full and rewarding Career.

It really means a lot to me to be a part of a team of carers who support our clients with a person- centred approach. This means that everyone receives a care package to suit their needs as per their choices and they can stay confident and comfortable whilst maintaining their independence for longer, all while remaining in their own home.”

Our services include companionship care, personal care, specialist care (including dementia, palliative, and Parkinson’s), and live-in care.
Search here if you cannot see your town or postcode - What local support is available?
Ensuring reliable live-in care means having robust support ready to handle any changes or emergencies. It’s important to ask how a provider manages carers schedules, especially if adjustments are needed or if a carer is unavailable.
At Home Instead we maintain a comprehensive local team that coordinates alternative arrangements in situations such as if the Care Professional is ill, without disrupting care continuity – ensuring your loved one always receives the attention they need.
- Are your carers employed or are they self-employed?
There are broadly two types of live-in care providers: self-employed carers and professional care companies. Self-employed carers typically offer flexibility and may cost less, but they often lack regulation, comprehensive training, and insurance, which can impact the quality and reliability of care.
Professional care companies, like Home Instead, directly employ Care Professionals who are rigorously trained and fully background-checked and insured. These employees are covered under the company’s policies, including national insurance and payroll, ensuring a secure, and high-standard care environment.
- What qualifications do your carers have?
Training and qualifications are vital in ensuring live-in carers deliver high-quality care. It’s a good idea to ask about the providers training levels and certifications.
Home Instead’s Care Professionals receive comprehensive training in areas such as mobility support, dementia and Parkinson’s care, catheter management, and end of life support. Our commitment to ongoing professional development ensures they are well-prepared to provide compassionate and effective care across various scenarios.
- How do you match caregivers with clients?
Compatibility between a live-in carer and client can greatly influence the quality of care. It’s beneficial to enquire about the matching process and how a provider ensures that the caregiver’s personality and skills align with the client’s needs and preferences.
At Home Instead, we carefully, match clients with one or more Care Professionals based on shared interests and care requirements to foster a comfortable and supportive relationship.
- How does your service ensure care continuity during emergencies or caregiver changes?
Continuity of care is essential, especially in emergencies or when regular live-in carers are unavailable. Ask your care provider how they handle such situations.
Home Instead has protocols in place to ensure that care continues seamlessly, with trained Care Professionals ready to step on so that your loved one’s needs are always met without interruption.
- What is live-in care?
Live-in care means a trained, professional carer will live with you in your home in order to provide the care you need on a regular basis, and support your specific needs. This is often a preferable alternative to a care home or nursing home, and it allows older people to remain living in their own home alongside a constant companion who can assist with things like personal care, specialist medical care, cooking, housework, and more.
Discover More - How much does live-in care cost?
Every live-in care package is unique to the individual client, so the best way to gauge how much this will cost you is to get in touch to discuss your loved ones needs. As a rough guide to cost, live-in care through an agency often ranges from around £1,350 to £2,000 per week in the UK, depending on their needs and other factors mentioned in our guide on cost linked below.
Discover More - How many hours does the Care Professional work?
Live-in care is not the same as 24-hour care. A Care Professional will typically work an 8 to 10 hour day. Those hours will be discussed in your initial assessment and tailored to suit the needs of the person receiving care. A live-in Care Professional is of course on hand in case of emergencies, but it is not generally expected that they will provide ongoing night care. The Care Professional also needs to have breaks throughout the day, and other Care Professionals may visit the home if a wrap-around care service is offered, giving the main care provider their needed breaks without any interruption in support.
- What will a live-in Care Professional require?
A live-in Care Professional must have their own bedroom for personal space. It is also typically expected that the home has an internet connection. Arrangements for food will be discussed in your consultation, but the Care Professional typically receives a weekly food allowance to purchase food for themselves. Live-in Care Professionals may cook and eat with their clients, or they may decide to do this separately, depending on the dietary requirements and personal preferences of everyone involved.
- What are the benefits of live-in care at home?
Live-in care at home empowers the elderly to maintain their independence, dignity, and a sense of control over their lives, while still receiving dedicated, comprehensive support. By far the main benefit is that live-in care allows care recipients to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, which can significantly enhance emotional well-being and quality of life. This form of care is highly personalised, adapting to the specific needs and routines of the individual, ensuring tailored support for daily activities, medication management, mobility assistance, and more. The one-on-one nature of live-in care fosters a strong bond between the Care Professional and care recipient, providing companionship and reducing feelings of isolation. Staying at home eliminates the disruption and stress often associated with moving to a care facility, and even 24 hour live-in home care can also be considerably more cost-effective than residential care options, as it avoids facility fees which can often be extremely steep.
