Home care in Carrickfergus

We provide award-winning home care in Carrickfergus, understanding that most clients wish to remain living independently in their own homes. Our Care Professionals spend quality time with each client, with visits always lasting at least one hour, giving us time to build meaningful relationships whilst providing personalised support and companionship without rushing.

Choosing Home Instead Carrickfergus for personalised home care

Families often tell us that the care their loved ones receive goes beyond the basics, offering genuine compassion and calm in challenging times. Susan, whose father received care, shared: “They were so supportive to me and my family in my dad’s final weeks. He had a carer with him overnight and she was amazing. I cannot praise them enough.” Heather, a family member, added: “They are an absolutely brilliant team, very friendly, caring and understanding.” These words reflect the heart of what we do, providing respectful, thoughtful care that gives both clients and families a sense of security and trust. Behind every task is a human connection, and that’s what makes all the difference.

Our Carrickfergus Team is With You Through Every Step

The Carrickfergus service is led by Roger and Louise, a husband-and-wife team who combine clinical insight with local care experience. Louise's healthcare background ensures that Care Professionals are trained in everything from mobility and medication support to emotional wellbeing and dementia care. Roger supports operational quality and communication across the team, ensuring each client's plan is carried out with care and clarity. Together, they have built a team culture where every Care Professional feels supported, confident, and connected to their clients. With their leadership, our Carrickfergus service remains responsive, dependable, and deeply rooted in the community. We're just as active in Carrickfergus and the surrounding areas, regularly connecting with our local community at garden centres, libraries and shopping centres to share information about home care services. Our team delivers free dementia workshops to help families and carers better understand and support those living with dementia. We can also offer practical guidance on topics like funding, advanced care planning, and living well at home. We believe being visible and accessible in familiar local spots makes it easier for people to learn about how we can help them or their loved ones stay independent at home.
