Tailored Support in Epsom
When considering care options, many people assume that a residential care home is inevitable. But for many, staying at home with professional support offers a far more flexible, dignified, and cost-transparent path forward — one that preserves independence, continuity, and personal freedom.
Here’s how Home Instead Epsom can work for you — and why it’s a strong choice for those seeking both value and peace of mind.
What Makes Home Care a Strong Alternative
Tailored support, when you need it
With home care, you only pay for the hours and services you agree upon. Whether that’s helping with personal care a few times a day or regular visits for companionship, you can scale up or down as your needs change.

Maintaining your life and independence
Staying in your own home means preserving routines, familiar surroundings, and emotional connection. Research shows that older people supported at home often retain better daily living abilities and communication compared to institutionalised settings.

Moving into a care home can feel disruptive. Qualitative studies show how challenging the emotional and psychological transition can be, as people lose control over many small daily decisions.
In Epsom and Surrey more broadly, adult social care is not entirely free. You may need to contribute toward your care based on income, savings or assets.
How to Explore Costs & Financial Support in Epsom
When planning funded or self-funded home care around Epsom, here are steps to follow:
- Get a needs assessment from Surrey County Council
Contact Surrey’s Adult Social Care to request a free assessment of your care needs and eligibility. - Apply for a financial assessment (means test)
The council will look at your income, savings, and capital to decide how much you might contribute to care costs. - Explore your eligibility for council funding and consider your own funding options
If you don’t qualify for full funding, many people self-fund using pensions, savings, or equity release. - Seek financial advice
An independent financial adviser experienced in older adult care planning can help you compare paths (e.g., equity release, trusts, care insurance).
