To us it's personal

Families often come to us when a loved one needs more than hourly visits, perhaps because they are living with a condition such as dementia, and we always tailor the care we provide around them. That may include help getting up and ready for the day and preparing meals they enjoy, along with light housekeeping and support with medication at the right times. We support many people living with dementia, and live-in care can be particularly beneficial for them. The familiarity of home, a settled routine and one consistent Care Professional all help to reduce confusion and support independence. Staying connected to the community matters too. Many of our Care Professionals enjoy taking clients for a walk in Lloyd Park or Wandle Park, or along to Surrey Street Market to pick up the week's fruit and vegetables. Many of them drive, so local trips and outings are often easy to arrange.

Choosing Home Instead Croydon for personalised home care

One of the many benefits of live-in care is having the same person with you from one day to the next, someone who comes to understand your unique needs and preferences. Because your Care Professional shares daily life with you, they can notice small changes early, perhaps in appetite or in how easily you are getting about, and can raise them with the family or your GP before they become anything more. For relatives living further away, that is a genuine reassurance. Your Care Professional will live in a spare room in your home and will usually work an eight to ten hour day, agreed at the initial assessment, with proper breaks. They sleep at the house, so someone is close by overnight if anything unexpected happens, and if continuous care is needed through the night we will discuss how best to support you. To provide continuity, we often arrange a second Care Professional who works in a rota, each living with you for a few weeks at a time. Our local team handles the schedule and the handovers.

Our Croydon Team is With You Through Every Step

Good communication sits at the centre of the way we provide live-in care. We can come out to visit you, talk through how you like things done at home, and involve the wider family from the outset, so everyone feels part of the care we provide. Our aim is for relatives to feel confident that care is consistent and close at hand. Because our team live and work locally, we know the GPs, pharmacies and district nurses in the area, and we can support you and your family with the right local services when they are needed. We can also call on trusted tradespeople if something in the house needs attention such as a leak or broken boiler. We are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, which holds us to high standards of quality, management and safety. If you have particular needs, whether that is short-term support, longer-term care or help returning home from hospital, speak with us and we will agree how best to help.
