Anna's Care Professional Testimonial

A Fulfilling Career in Care Across Havant, Hayling Island & Surrounding Areas

My name is Anna, and I work as a Care Professional for Home Instead Havant. For me, this role is far more than just a job, it’s about building meaningful relationships and making a genuine difference to people’s lives across Havant, Hayling Island, Waterlooville, Emsworth and the surrounding areas.

I chose to join Home Instead because of its commitment to minimum one-hour care visits. I couldn’t bear the thought of rushing in and out of someone’s home in just 15 minutes. Our clients deserve time, dignity and compassion, and Home Instead Havant truly delivers person-centred home care.

Another reason Home Instead stood out to me was the way Care Professionals are carefully matched with clients. Visiting the same clients regularly allows me to build strong, trusting relationships, which is essential when providing high-quality home care and companionship in Havant and Hayling Island.

Building Trust Through Consistent, Person-Centred Care

Over time, I’ve built up a deep level of trust with my clients. That trust means they feel comfortable allowing me to support them with even the most personal aspects of care when needed. It’s a privilege that I never take lightly.

Some of the most meaningful moments come from the simple things, sitting down for a cup of tea and a chat, sharing stories, memories and laughter. It’s an honour when a client feels they can talk to me about absolutely anything because they trust me.

I’ll never forget the first time one client allowed me to help with personal care after resisting for a long while. Moments like this remind me why home care in Havant and the surrounding areas is about patience, understanding and respect.

Supporting Clients to Live Life Fully

Working with Home Instead Havant means supporting clients to continue enjoying the moments that matter most to them.

One particularly special experience was taking a client and her husband to their granddaughter’s wedding. I stayed overnight for two nights to care for my client, enabling them to attend this incredibly important family occasion. Without that support, they wouldn’t have been able to go, and I felt proud to help make it possible.

This is what outstanding home care in Havant, Waterlooville and Emsworth looks like – going above and beyond so clients can live life on their own terms.

A Supportive and Compassionate Home Instead Havant Team

The team at the Home Instead Havant office has always supported me in every aspect of my role.

When my husband became unwell and I needed to reduce my working hours, I was met with understanding, flexibility and kindness. A few years later, when my husband sadly passed away, the care and support I received from the office meant the world to me. I truly felt part of the Home Instead family, and that support helped me through an incredibly difficult time.

Flexible Care Roles That Fit Around Your Life

One of the things I value most about working for Home Instead Havant is the flexibility. Being able to work hours that suit my lifestyle has made a huge difference, especially during challenging times in my life.

High-Quality Training and Ongoing Development

The training and courses I’ve completed through Home Instead have made my role easier and more rewarding. The high-quality training has given me a better understanding of the conditions many clients live with and how to support them in the most compassionate and effective way.

This ongoing development helps me deliver the very best home care services across Havant and surrounding areas, while feeling confident and well supported in my role.

More Than a Job – A Role That Truly Matters

I genuinely love my role with Home Instead Havant. It doesn’t feel like going to work, it feels like visiting friends for a cup of tea every day.

Over the years, I’ve cared for many wonderful clients and built strong, lasting relationships with them. It’s always difficult when a client is no longer with us, but knowing I’ve made a positive difference in their life makes it all worthwhile.

One of my clients was 105 years old when she passed away. Knowing I helped keep her safe and supported her to remain living independently in her own home for as long as possible was incredibly rewarding.
