At Home Instead Fareham & Gosport, we take the time to match each client with a Care Professional who suits their personality, needs, and lifestyle.
Letting someone new into your home to help with care can be a big step, which is exactly why at Home Instead Fareham & Gosport, we don’t just focus on the practical side of support – we make sure you’re matched with a Care Professional you genuinely get on with.
We believe the best care starts with the right relationship. Whether it’s shared interests, a similar sense of humour, or simply someone you feel comfortable chatting to, that connection really matters. That’s why we put so much time and thought into our matching process.
It all starts with a chat. One of our friendly Care Coordinators will meet with you and your family to get a good understanding of your personality, daily routine, care needs, and preferences.
Do you prefer someone bubbly or more laid-back? Is there a hobby you love, or a routine you like to stick to? Do you enjoy going out to social events, or would you rather chat with someone quietly at home? All of these things help us get a clear picture of what will work best for you.
With that information in hand, our scheduler carefully looks through our team of Care Professionals to find someone who fits your preferences.
Our team considers:
– Availability
– Care experience
– Personality
– Communication style
– Shared interests
It’s never a case of picking someone at random and hoping for the best. We match clients and Care Professionals thoughtfully because we know that when people click, everything else becomes easier. Happiness is at the heart of everything we do.
Once we’ve found a good match, we’ll set up a friendly introduction, often with one of our experienced team members there to support everyone. It’s your chance to get to know your Care Professionals, ask questions, and make sure it feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure – we want you to feel relaxed and reassured from the start.
We do everything we can to keep care consistent. That means you’ll see the same familiar faces at each visit, rather than different carers each time.
This helps trust to grow naturally. You’ll get to know your Care Professionals, and they’ll get to know your routines, preferences, and what matters most to you. It also means they’re more likely to spot any small changes early, which is so important when it comes to staying well.
When the match is right, care feels easy. There’s more enjoyment, better conversation, and a stronger sense of connection. Our team stays involved too, checking in to make sure everything’s running smoothly.
At the heart of it all, we believe care should feel natural. It’s not about ticking boxes, it’s about people helping people in a way that feels right for our client and their family.
