We look after every client the way we would want our own family looked after, helping them keep their independence and personalising the care to how they like their days to go. That may include help with washing and dressing, along with cooking meals they enjoy. Light housekeeping is often part of it too, whether that is the laundry or keeping the home in order. Staying connected to the town around you is just as important. Our Care Professionals always enjoy taking clients along to the Wednesday market or for a walk to the bandstand at the Borough Gardens, and because many of them drive, a trip to the shops or to meet a friend for lunch is simple to arrange. Our live-in care also suits people coming home after a hospital stay. With meals prepared and encouragement to keep up any exercises that have been set, many find they regain their strength and confidence more readily at home.
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.

Having the same person beside you each day is one of the real comforts of live-in care. Because your Care Professional shares daily life with you, they come to know what an ordinary day looks like and 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 promptly. Your Care Professional will usually work an eight to ten hour day, agreed with you at the assessment, with proper breaks and a bedroom of their own. They sleep at the house, so someone is close by overnight if anything unexpected happens, and any night-time needs are talked through before care begins. Most of our clients are supported by two Care Professionals who alternate every few weeks, with handovers planned carefully and cover arranged if either is unavailable. Everything starts with a home visit from our local team.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.

Our live-in care is fully managed by our team based here in the area. We recruit, train and employ every Care Professional, supervise the care they provide, and review the support regularly as needs change, so our live-in care is of the highest quality. We are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, so the standard of our care is checked independently against national standards. If you have particular needs, whether short-term support after a hospital stay or care for the longer term, do talk to us and we will be happy to discuss the best way to support you or your loved ones. Because we live and work locally, we know the GP surgeries, pharmacies and district nurses nearby, and we can call on trusted local tradespeople if something in the house needs attention. For families living further away, having a team so close by is often a real reassurance.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
