Care from the team who support my uncle has been outstanding; he is living with dementia, and the respect, compassion and dignity he is shown is above and beyond. Without a shadow of a doubt, they’ve kept him safe in his home for much longer than we expected after his diagnosis.
Granddaughter of Client
The Frodsham Home Instead team looked after my father for several years, enabling him to stay in his much-loved own home. Every team member was professional, thoughtful and, importantly, great fun. They really took the time to get to know Dad, his likes and dislikes and treated him with great care and respect. Dad received up to five visits a day and always looked forward to them. The team inspired huge confidence in us as a family.
Daughter of Client
After much soul searching, we decided we needed care for my dad; as my mum was unwell too. We interviewed many care providers and from the moment we met Home Instead we knew they were right for us. The team professionally cared for my dad until the end and then my mum again until she was reunited with my dad. The team became part of our parents’ daily routine and were invaluable to our wider family support, giving our family peace of mind.
Daughter of Client
The care and support given to mum by Home Instead Frodsham was second to none. The carers treated mum with kindness and understanding whether it was making a cup of tea or helping her get washed and dressed. Mum looked forward to the visits and loved sharing her childhood memories.
Son of Client
The high standards of personal care, the impressive punctuality of the visits, the updated notes on the website after each visit for family controlled access, and the happiness that I can see Mum gets from the consideration and support that she is receiving have led to the family decision that we will continue with the services of Home Instead as long as Mum remains in the family home. A top-class service, thank you.
Son of Client
Home Instead cared for my father for several years as he became less able to do things for himself. Without exception, the carers were wonderful, willing, trustworthy, hard-working and caring people. He came to look at them as friends and their visits were a big part of his day. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They made it possible for Dad to stay in his own home until a week before he passed away. I will always be grateful to them.
Daughter of Client
The home care support given by the caregivers at Home Instead is fabulous. They are reliable and punctual. They are patient and supportive. Living a fair distance away, I know that my grandfather and his partner are in safe hands and also that the caregivers will contact me should there be any concerns or questions. I have been really impressed with their attention to detail, seeking opinions from district nurses and community occupational therapists, to ensure that they are supported well in their own home. Nothing seems too much trouble.
Great Grandson of Client
The caregivers from Home Instead have been caring for my mum for several years as her health has deteriorated and during the last days of her life. She died at home as was her wish and this would not have been possible without the dedication of the care staff. During the last weeks of her life, they did everything they could to keep her at home and comfortable, and particularly in the last week they not only cared for my mum but were an invaluable support for myself and my family.
Daughter of Client
My father-in-law is 97, lost his wife in early April and he suffers from dementia, hearing loss and limited vision – not an easy time for any of us. I think it would be impossible for him to continue to live independently without the support he gets from Home Instead. The caregivers do go above and beyond – attending his wife’s funeral, helping sort out clothes and personal effects without upsetting him, taking him on little outings, finding someone to service the vacuum cleaner!

Tailored Home Care in Frodsham, Runcorn & Widnes
Our local home care is tailored to you. One of our client’s daughters shared; “We have had an excellent service from the manager and her team of lovely carers. My parents had an unsatisfactory experience (with a different provider) previously and were reluctant to try daily care again, but Home Instead made them feel comfortable from start to finish. The carers are always on time, very patient, and have developed strong relationships with my parents, which has been a very positive influence for them both.” Stories like this reflect our commitment to truly caring for the whole person, not just meeting needs.

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.
