To us it's personal

We believe good care takes time, which is why every visit lasts at least an hour. That gives our Care Professionals enough time to support someone properly, whether they need help with medication, preparing a meal, light housekeeping or getting ready for the day, without the visit feeling rushed. For many clients, that time can also be used to keep up with the things they enjoy outside the home. Many of our Care Professionals drive and can accompany someone into Ballymena for shopping or an appointment, out for lunch, to see friends or family, or to places around Broughshane, Cullybackey or Antrim that are already part of their weekly routine. The companionship that comes with our longer visits is something many clients value just as much as the day-to-day support. We always endeavour to keep each person with the same Care Professional or small team wherever possible, giving relationships time to develop and allowing our Care Professionals to get to know the person, their routines, preferences and how they like to be supported.

Choosing Home Instead Ballymena for personalised home care

Helping someone remain independent does not always mean doing more for them. Often, it means giving the right amount of support so they can continue with the parts of daily life they still want to manage themselves. Our Care Professionals can help with getting washed and dressed, preparing meals, medication, shopping or light housekeeping, while encouraging each person to stay involved and make their own choices wherever possible. That can be just as important outside the home. A Care Professional might accompany someone into Ballymena for shopping, to meet a friend for lunch, attend an appointment or spend some time somewhere they enjoy locally. Our local team stays closely involved too, reviewing the care with clients and families and making adjustments whenever someone’s needs or situation change.

Our Ballymena Team is With You Through Every Step

When choosing a care agency in Ballymena, having a local team nearby can be especially reassuring for families who do not live in the area themselves. Our local office team manages the care day to day, organises visits, arranges cover and stays closely involved with the client, so relatives have people they can speak to who already know the person and understand the support in place. That local support extends to our Care Professionals as well. They are employed and trained by us, with ongoing support and training from a team they know and can turn to when they need advice or support. Keeping that relationship strong helps us provide more consistent care for clients and gives families the reassurance of knowing there is a familiar local team overseeing all aspects of care.
