Your Local Office
The team here at Home Instead Durham are proud to provide expert home care in Durham. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
We put you at the centre of everything we do. From the first conversation, we take time to understand your needs, preferences, and what makes life enjoyable. Together, we create a bespoke care plan that reflects you. Then we match you with a Care Professional who shares your interests and hobbies, turning a practical visit into genuine companionship. All our visits last a minimum of one hour, so there's never a sense of rush. We help with practical tasks like shopping, laundry and feeding pets, or with personal support – like washing and grooming – if needed. We also love supporting you to stay connected to your community, whether it's taking in a show at the Gala Theatre, enjoying a stroll along the River Wear or attending a local club. Flexibility is key; we can pop in for a few hours a week, provide overnight support, or arrange live-in care. Our aim is to help you live exactly as you choose, with confidence and independence in your own 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.

The best home care feels like a natural part of your day, not an intrusion. That's why we ensure you see the same familiar face each time. This consistency builds trust, and over time, your Care Professional becomes a genuine companion who knows your daily routines, your preferences and the little things that make you feel at home. And since our Care Professionals don't wear uniforms, they feel more like a visiting friend than someone providing a formal service. We take time to understand what matters to you by moving at your pace. Our approach is about building a genuine relationship that transforms care from a service into something more personal. Our assistance is more than just a service – it respects your independence and lifestyle choices. With Home Instead, you can relax knowing your home is a secure, comfortable place where you remain in control.
