Home Help & Housekeeping in Exeter

As we get older, our mobility can decline and this can make tasks around the house, that bit more difficult to complete. Home Instead offer home help and housekeeping services across Exeter and East Devon. Our elderly home help services consist of tasks such as doing the laundry, hoovering, dusting, mopping and even feeding or walking your beloved pets. Having these tasks completed can give your loved ones a more comfortable living space and also provides them with companionship and regular check-ins. These services can be provided as often you like and we can even work alongside you if you enjoy tending to your home yourself, but just need a bit of extra help.

Our Care Starts With Connection

With our Home Help and Housekeeping services, we are helping to keep our clients’ homes clean and tidy, removing clutter that could become a trip hazard and creating a space that they feel more comfortable in. Whether it’s helping with a grocery shop at Waitrose in Sidmouth, or picking up a prescription from Clarepharm Pharmacy on Budleigh Salterton High Street, our Care Professionals are happy to help. Our Care Professional, Tony, assists his client by mopping and drying her floors thoroughly, ensuring they don’t become a slip hazard and getting into hard to reach areas that she can no longer clean, following her shoulder operation.
