Being locally based in the Bedford community, our team lives and works right here in Bedfordshire. As a CQC-regulated provider, we maintain the highest standards of safety and professionalism, with all our Care Professionals receiving thorough training and continuous support.
With Home Instead, you receive more than just practical help – you maintain your independence, identity and the comfort of remaining in your own home.
We provide a wide variety of home care services across Bedfordshire, each delivered with kindness and consistency. Every visit is shaped around the client’s preferences, with care plans that evolve as needs change. Whether it’s companionship, support with health conditions, or giving family carers a break, we’re here to help.
Companionship Care
Loneliness is a real issue for many older adults. Our companionship care offers more than just a friendly face, it’s about genuine connection with a Care Professional. Clients enjoy chats over tea, light gardening together, or local outings like visiting the Forest of Marston Vale or Bedford Embankment. Every visit encourages social interaction and a renewed sense of purpose.
Dementia Care
Living with dementia can feel overwhelming, but consistent care makes a difference. Our team is trained in City & Guilds-Assured dementia care and focuses on familiarity, routine, and patience. By seeing the same Care Professionals each time, clients feel safe, supported, and valued in the comfort of their own home.
Live-in Care
For those needing more comprehensive support, our live-in care offers reassurance and freedom. A dedicated Care Professional lives in the home, providing help with personal care, medication, meals, and more. It’s ideal for individuals who want to remain in the place they love while receiving compassionate support.
Respite Care
Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. Our respite care service gives family carers the chance to rest, whether for an afternoon or a longer break. With flexible options and local staff familiar with the area, continuity of care is maintained while caregivers recharge.
Palliative Care
We offer gentle, personalised palliative care for those living with life-limiting conditions. Working alongside healthcare professionals, we ensure emotional, physical, and practical support is in place. Clients remain at home, surrounded by familiar things, while we focus on dignity, comfort, and their individual wishes.
If you’re searching for a care agency in Bedfordshire, it’s worth knowing what sets Home Instead apart. Unlike agencies with rushed visits and changing staff, we offer longer, relationship-led visits with familiar Care Professionals who are matched to each client by personality and needs.
Our fully managed service and directly employed team take away the stress of managing care yourself. Whether it’s popping to Priory Marina for a walk, visiting the Higgins Bedford Museum, or simply enjoying a quiet cuppa in the garden, we help clients stay active, safe, and connected.
We’re local, responsive, and committed to offering support that feels personal to you and your family. From the very first visit, you’ll notice the difference; reliable, friendly care that fits around your life, not the other way round.
