To us it's personal

Our visits are never rushed, giving our Care Professionals time to provide practical help as well as genuine companionship. That may mean supporting with medication, preparing a warm meal together, helping around the home or simply sitting down for a proper conversation, all at the person’s own pace. We also help clients continue doing the things they enjoy outside the home. Many of our Care Professionals drive, so that might mean a trip to Lloyd Park, the shops along North End or the gardens at Coombe Wood. Being able to carry on with familiar activities can make a real difference to someone’s independence and quality of life. We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and every Care Professional is employed and trained by us, with additional training in areas including dementia and Parkinson’s.

Choosing Home Instead Croydon for personalised home care

We take great care when matching each client with their Care Professionals, looking at personality, interests and the kind of support they need. We then keep the team small and familiar, so over time our Care Professionals come to understand the person well, including their routines, preferences and the way they like things done. That familiarity also helps us support independence as we always encourage clients to stay involved in their own routines and do as much as they can for themselves. Our local team in Croydon stays closely involved throughout, keeping in touch with families, overseeing the care and making changes when someone’s circumstances develop. It means there is always a team nearby who already understands the person and the support in place.

Our Croydon Team is With You Through Every Step

When choosing a care agency in Croydon, many families value having one local team take responsibility for organising the care. We plan the visits, arrange cover when someone is away and manage the day-to-day coordination, so families do not have to take that on themselves. Because we stay involved over time, we can also adjust the care as someone’s needs change and work alongside GPs, district nurses or other professionals where appropriate. Families have a familiar local team to speak to, while we take care of the organisation behind the scenes. That leaves them with more time to focus on their relationship with their relative.
