Day care with us is never one-size-fits-all. We take time to understand what brings each client a sense of fulfilment, whether it’s gardening, baking, music, reading, or light exercise. Our visits may include meal prep, personal care, memory games, or simply enjoying time together over shared stories. For some, it’s about stimulating the mind; for others, it’s rebuilding confidence after illness or a fall. We also take great care in matching each client with a Care Professional who shares their interests, values, or even humour. The result is a comfortable routine that supports wellbeing in body and mind. Whether active or quiet, each visit is built around you.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

Our clients and families often describe our care service as the highlight of their day, a blend of companionship, practical help, and genuine emotional uplift. One daughter shared: “The carers coming in twice a day have taken a lot of worry from us. They treated Mum with dignity and efficiency.” Another family member of a client, Euan, noted: “We have found it to be professional with very helpful staff and carers. Our family member has stated the home carer is fabulous!” These comments reflect the impact of purposeful, engaging support that brings more than just company. It restores confidence, reduces isolation, and brings light back into daily life.

Day care with Home Instead is overseen by Roger and Louise, a husband-and-wife team who bring together compassion, clinical insight, and operational strength.

Roger, who moved from finance into the care sector, ensures services run smoothly and consistently, giving families confidence and reassurance. Together, their leadership blends empathy with efficiency, so our team provides day care that is reliable and respectful. We're proud to keep our clients connected to the life around them, whether that's a church coffee morning in Carrickfergus, the market in Ballymena, or garden time in Antrim. When outings aren't possible, we bring the world inside through music, virtual events, creative projects, or just a good chat about local news, and we work with families and community groups to explore hobbies and routines that bring joy. With us, day care doesn't just fill the hours, it makes them count, giving every visit a chance to feel active, valued, and engaged with the world once again.
