We provide home care in Dover and the surrounding areas, including Deal and Sandwich, supporting older adults to stay comfortable and independent in their own homes. No two people want exactly the same thing from care, so we take time to learn how someone likes their days to go and personalise the support around them. The help can start modestly and grow, or change, as life does.

Your Local Office
Home Care in Dover
The team here at Home Instead Dover, Deal & Sandwich are proud to provide expert home care in Dover. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
Each of our visits last at least an hour, giving plenty of time for practical help as well as companionship and a proper conversation. Our Care Professionals do not wear uniforms either, which helps visits feel more relaxed and familiar, while still providing the professional support each person needs.
What happens during each visit depends on the person and the support they need that day. It might mean preparing a proper meal, a reminder about medication, help around the home or, where needed, discreet support with washing and dressing. Many of our Care Professionals drive too, so we can help clients get out and about, whether that means a walk along the seafront, some time at Kearsney Abbey or a lift to an appointment. 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.
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.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Hourly Home Care
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.

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.

Choosing Home Instead Dover for personalised home care
Continuity is one of the things our clients most appreciate, and it is something we care about a great deal too. We keep a small, familiar team around each person, and we choose them thoughtfully, looking for Care Professionals who will get on well with the client and share some of their interests. Seeing the same people each week means someone quickly learns a person's routines and preferences, and the visits feel relaxed and familiar from early on.
This matters even more with the many people in Dover we support who are living with dementia. A familiar person brings a real sense of calm and reassurance, and because our Care Professionals come to know the person well, they can gently keep things on track and notice sooner if something has changed.
When choosing a care agency in Dover, many families value knowing that the care is being managed by a local team that can stay involved as someone’s needs change. Support may begin with companionship or a few regular visits each week and later increase to more frequent care, overnight support or live-in care if that becomes appropriate.
We employ and train our own Care Professionals, organise the visits and arrange cover when someone is unavailable, so families are not left to coordinate the care themselves. Because the same office remains involved throughout, any changes can be reviewed by people who already know the client, understand the care in place and can make the necessary arrangements.
We deliver tailored home care to the Dover community to nurture wellbeing and independence.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
Our dementia care in Dover is designed by experts and is City & Guilds Assured, so you know your loved one is receiving only the very best care. Our Care Professionals focus on creating an environment that's calm and consistent, while maintaining dignity and familiar routines to reduce confusion and keep clients comfortable.
Having someone stay in your home to provide care can feel daunting, but our live-in care solutions help to bring older adults more independence and enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing. If you value the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is always someone nearby, live-in care in Dover could be an excellent alternative to a care home.
The right support is crucial when managing pain and end-of-life care. Our palliative care focuses on dignity and enables your loved one to remain in the place they feel happiest. We provide considerate palliative care in Dover, so you can spend more meaningful moments together while we carefully manage their pain and comfort.
Taking a break from caring can feel impossible if your loved one is lonely or has challenging health conditions, but our respite care in Dover is designed to step in with dependable care at any time. Whether you're recharging your batteries or managing other commitments, our Care Professionals can provide reliable support, so you can take time to yourself without disrupting routines.
