To us it's personal

We look after each client as we would want for our own mum or dad, keeping them as independent as possible and matching the support to how they like to live. Depending on what is needed, that might be a little extra help to get up in the morning, or cooking and sitting down to a meal together. Keeping on top of the housekeeping is part of it too, and we look after medication so it is taken at the right times. Staying part of local life matters hugely for our clients and our Care Professionals enjoy taking clients to the Saturday morning market along the High Street, or a walk down to the Quay to watch the boats come in, and because many of our team drive, getting out and about is straightforward. Our live-in care also lends itself to shorter arrangements, such as recovering after a spell in hospital. With help on hand through the day and meals taken care of, many people find their strength and confidence return more quickly at home.

Choosing Home Instead Lymington for personalised home care

The amount of support we provide depends entirely on what you need. Some of our clients mainly want companionship, cooking and a hand around the house, while others need more comprehensive care, with help washing and dressing, managing medication and moving safely about the home. Whatever the level, it is personalised to your needs and can be adjusted as things change. Your Care Professional has a bedroom of their own and will usually work an agreed day of around eight to ten hours, settled at the first assessment, with proper breaks. They sleep in the house overnight, so someone is always close by if anything unexpected happens, and where care is needed through the night we can talk through how best to provide it. For continuity, most clients are supported by two Care Professionals who rotate every few weeks, and our local team looks after the schedule and the handovers.

Our Lymington Team is With You Through Every Step

The quality of the care we provide starts with the people who provide it. We carefully recruit and directly employ each Care Professional, DBS check them thoroughly before they begin, and train them on an ongoing basis, including in specialist areas such as dementia and Parkinson's care. Our local team then supervises the support and reviews it regularly as needs change. This is also why families can pick up the phone, meet us in person, and lean on a team who understand the area. Knowing there is someone close by who is genuinely accountable for the care tends to reassure relatives, wherever in the country they happen to live. We are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, so our standards are checked independently. If you are thinking through support around a particular need, whether after a hospital stay or for the longer term, do talk to us and we will suggest how best we can help.
