We are over the moon at how happy dad is.
When we speak to him he really expresses how much he likes all his team and how they help.
We truly believe that if it wasn’t for Home Instead then dad may not be here with us now.
They have made all the difference. Thank you for all the support.
Mr S - Fareham
I arrived at dad’s house today and just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone.
Dad is doing so well. Without these lovely ladies doing such a great job my dad would not be in such a good place.
I really felt like I was coming home today just as it used to be when my mum was with us. Thank you for giving that back to us.
You have made a big difference not only to dad’s life but also mine; I’m totally confident he is happy and as safe as we can make him.
Mrs N - Fareham
Please can you pass on my thanks to all of her team who were so supportive in caring for my mum.
The standard of care they provided was outstanding and I couldn’t have been happier to have them working with us to help her.
She had an extremely skilled, compassionate and kind team looking after her and I cannot thank them enough for their work.
Ms M - Gosport
They are simply one of the very best care companies in the marketplace.
A standard for the others to aspire to.
Quality in all they do.
Mr D - Fareham
Thank you so much for your outstanding and reliable service.
Having changed from another agency who I felt were unreliable and had no initiative.
I cannot begin to tell you what a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to future clients.
Ms B - Wickham
The service and care our father has received in the past two years has been much appreciated to meet his special care needs.
Home Instead has been exemplary in all aspects of their support.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead to others requiring quality care and understanding in the comfort of your own home.
Mr W - Fareham
My mother has been having home care from Home Instead for the past 8 months.
It has been a complete success, the carers are all very kind, truly care and have terrific empathy.
Having Home Instead has brought back a sparkle to mum, from their stimulation and totally enhanced her quality of life.
Ms O - Titchfield
We cannot thank you and your team enough for the amazing way you have all looked after our mum for the last year or so of her life.
It is thanks to the care that you all gave to her that she was able to be in her own home, as she wanted, right to the end.
In the last week of mum’s life we were overwhelmed with the care and love the team showed to her.
Mr T - Fareham
I would like to thank all the Home Instead team for the excellent care and advice you have provided for my brother over the last two years.
Your team have contributed very much to improving his quality of life.
I would like to wish you all happiness and success in the future.
Mr C - Fareham
I am extremely happy with the help and care shown to me by each of the carers that come to me.
They are all very kind, caring and offer to do so much to help me in the house.
They have all helped me adjust to my much reduced way of life and have given me every support in my mental and physical well being and built up my confidence.
I can’t thank them enough.
Mrs E - Fareham
I wanted to write and thank you and the wonderful ladies who have been caring for my aunt over the past few months.
The support, help and company she has received has been outstanding and has helped her immensely during a difficult period in her life coping with bereavement and dementia.
I know she will miss her team of lovely ladies who have become her friends.
Ms R - Lee on Solent
I am very impressed so far with the care and companionship mum is receiving from her team.
They are each going that extra mile to get closer to mum and it is giving me real peace of mind.
Thank you so much.
Mrs M - Gosport
Both carers show my mother dignity and respect and try their best to fulfil her individual needs.
They understand the concept of supporting the whole family.
The care received is very much appreciated.
Mrs L - Portchester

The carers are top quality and just what we require and in the team from Home Instead that is just what we have got.
Mr D - Fareham
Thank you so much for all your professional care for “M” and support to me.
Helping me to find my way when things looked impossible.
Mrs F - Fareham
I am writing on behalf of my husband and myself and we both agree that the team of carers from Home Instead are excellent both in the care they give my husband and their overall willingness and kindness in all situations.
Their help is invaluable to us, their time keeping is impeccable and we feel very fortunate to have found this very reliable firm in our hour of need.
Mrs R - Stubbington
We are thrilled with the company and how they have handled the current situation by making sure that all the team have the supplies they need so they are still able to visit us both.
Home Instead is wonderful and we couldn’t be happier with them.
Mrs W - Portchester

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Mrs G-H - Portchester
All the carers that came were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were all keen to help and do anything to make things easier for my wife.
They are not doing this just as a job, but they really care.
They also arrived exactly at the agreed time and left when we were happy we didn’t need anything else. First-class – 10 out of 10.
David U (Husband of Client)
Very good and excellent service.
Alan E (Son of Client)
A team of nine excellent carers has been supporting my father at home since he returned there after several months of convalescing in a nursing home.
He is delighted with their support, without which he could not live at home on his own, and they have helped him become more independent.
Thoroughly recommended.
A S (Son of Client)
It took us a while to find the right care agency to take care of my parents.
Home Instead was more expensive than most but was worth every penny.
My parents liked the carers who came and Mum was soon happy to let them deal with her personal care needs. I was relieved that the carers spent time getting to know my parents and were regularly able to feedback any concerns to us.
Always punctual and stayed the allocated time. We too felt supported and I can’t speak highly enough of the whole service, carers or management.
C E (Daughter of Client)
Home Instead (Fareham and Gosport) have been supporting my mother to remain living independently in her own home full-time since September.We have found all the caregivers fantastic with Mum.
They not only make sure she is fed and safe but also take the time to do lovely things with her, from taking her for a walk or out around the charity shops to running a bubble bath or doing her nails.
It’s been such a smooth transition from occasional to daily care, and Mum really looks forward to the visits.
It’s such a relief to have their support, and particularly, knowing they will listen and respond to any changes needed.
I really can’t recommend them highly enough.
S L (Daughter of Client)
I am very happy with all my carers. They’re very helpful and look after my needs very well.
Always on time and they get to know all my needs.
Have built up a great relationship with all of them and I enjoy our chats.
M C (Client)
This service is a prime example of the adage; you get what you pay for.
Helpful, cheerful, friendly assistance coupled with real reliability.
These helpers say that they will take on any reasonable task that one may need, this lot really mean it.
R H (Client)
Home instead is everything we had been looking for. An incredibly personal service and the care taken in choosing the perfect carer was phenomenal.
They listened so carefully to the brief and were highly sensitive to a delicate situation whereby my parents were reluctant to accept that they needed some help.
The carer came in as a housekeeper and gently started doing a few jobs with my mother and is rapidly morphing into the companion and friend that we need long term.
It is an exceptional organisation and all of our family couldn’t be more grateful.

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.
