Home care in Leicester
Home care in Leicester supports people to live independently and comfortably in the place they know best - home. Enter postcode of the person to find your nearest office and local care team.
Palliative care is about helping your loved one continue enjoying the moments that matter most, even while living with a life-limiting condition. We believe those moments look different for every person, so we take the time to properly understand their routines, preferences and the familiar comforts that help them feel most at ease in their home. This allows us to provide care that's flexible, and completely focuses on their wishes rather than just tending to their symptoms.
Our Care Professionals can provide sensitive personal care, practical home help, medication management, and compassionate emotional support so they feel as comfortable as possible in their familiar environment. All of our services are delivered in line with Care Quality Commission regulations, and we work closely with your loved one's clinical team to ensure everyone involved is working together to deliver exceptional care during each and every visit.
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.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Our matching process can help create familiarity by pairing your loved one with a dedicated Care Professional who understands their symptom needs, personality, preferences and the way they like to be supported at home. With the same familiar face each time, every visit builds on an existing relationship rather than beginning again, which helps your loved one to form a genuine connection over time. Whether accompanying them to appointments at Leicester Royal Infirmary, facilitating discussions with visiting healthcare teams or simply offering reassurance at home when it's needed, they can provide dependable support during a challenging time.
Supported by specialist palliative care training, ongoing guidance from our experienced local office, and helpful input from regular reviews with your family, our Care Professionals can continue adapting care as your loved one's needs change.
Our Home Care Services
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.
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. 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 Leicester Team is With You Through Every Step
Receiving palliative care at home allows your loved one to remain in familiar surroundings where they can continue enjoying everyday comforts and valuable time with family. Studies find that those with a life-limiting illness and their families both prefer to receive this kind of care at home, so Home Instead's Leicester team helps make this possible by taking care of the many practical responsibilities your family may be juggling, and giving you back opportunities to spend quality time together instead. A dedicated Care Professional can assist with things like bathing and dressing, preparing nourishing meals, doing housework, and supporting their medical needs by helping manage symptoms in line with their agreed care plan.
Alongside every visit is a dedicated office team responsible for coordinating care planning, reviewing support regularly, organising schedules and adapting services whenever your loved one's circumstances evolve. Our ongoing communication with district nurses, GPs and local palliative specialists helps ensure your loved one's care remains focused on their wellbeing and quality of life throughout their journey.
Our dementia care in Leicester 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.
