“I’m 60 years old and retired 4 years ago from a career in Finance. I soon realised that retirement left me with a lot of time, so I decided I needed to find something I could do to put something back in to society and feel I was making a difference. As a family we his used the services of Home Instead to assist my Father in Law to stay in his own home. I thought this is something I could do and felt I would enjoy. I joined the Home Instead Lancaster Team 2 months ago and absolutely love it. I now regular clients who I felt privileged to meet and assist in their own homes. I can honestly say it has changed my life and feel I am contributing to improve their quality of life and overall happiness. I wish I had thought of this a been my first career choice all those years ago. It’s great being part of a team, who have been incredible in their support and training. I’m learning new skills and this has enhanced my life as well as those I care for”

Tailored Palliative Care in Lancaster
Our approach to palliative care is entirely tailored. After an initial consultation, we create a care plan that prioritises your loved one’s needs and preferences – whether it’s personal care, assistance with meals, or mobility support. As needs evolve, our team is on hand to make adjustments to the care plan, ensuring comfort and respect every step of the way. For example, we supported one client in Garstang, where our team provided regular overnight support alongside personal care, which allowed her family to focus on spending quality time together.
