Quality, Personalised Home Care in Northumberland

Our home care in Northumberland is thoughtfully designed to give you reliable, understanding support when you need it most.

At Home Instead, our care is tailored around you and your needs as an individual. Whether you need regular visits, support with daily routines, or specialised care for dementia, Parkinson’s or end-of-life needs, everything we do aims to keep you comfortable, independent and dignified in your own home. Our care is flexible – from a few hours weekly to round-the-clock support – and we’ll work alongside you to create a plan that truly fits your life.

Our Care Professionals are carefully matched with clients not just by experience, but by personality and shared interests, helping to build strong, familiar relationships that support both confidence and well-being. As a CQC-regulated provider, we follow rigorous standards and invest in thorough training to ensure the highest quality of care. And because we believe continuity is key, you’ll see the same friendly face on every visit, delivering unhurried care that’s shaped around the person, not the task.

Award-winning service you can trust

View all

We provide high-quality home care across Northumberland, focused on individual needs and delivered with professionalism, friendliness, and respect. As we fit our services around the client and not vice versa, we understand that proper care is always personal and must be adjusted according to changing needs over time.

Companionship Care

Whether it’s a stroll through Carlisle Park, a cup of tea at home, or help getting to the shops in Wooler, our companionship care ensures a meaningful connection to everyday life. Delivered by friendly, familiar faces, this service helps reduce loneliness and supports well-being, which is perfect for those who live alone or feel isolated.

Dementia Care

Our dementia care offers steady, structured support at home. We match clients with the same Care Professional each visit, helping to reduce confusion and build trust. With City & Guilds-Assured dementia training, our team provides care that’s sensitive, consistent, and tailored to each person’s routines and preferences.

Live-in Care

For those with more complex needs, live-in care offers one-on-one support in the comfort of home. A dedicated Care Professional stays with you to provide help throughout the day and night. This service gives reassurance to families while enabling clients to remain in safe, familiar surroundings they know and love.

Respite Care

When family carers need time to rest, we provide short-term care that fits around your life. Whether it’s a few hours or a few days, our local team ensures continuity and peace of mind, supporting your loved one with compassion and understanding while you take time to recharge.

Palliative Care

We deliver thoughtful, dignified palliative care in partnership with local healthcare professionals. Our service supports individuals with life-limiting conditions at home, providing comfort, emotional support, and top-notch care that respects each client’s wishes and helps families through a difficult time.

Every service is built around the person, delivered with consistency, kindness, and care.

Our home care in Northumberland is built on understanding local communities and delivering support with genuine compassion. At Home Instead, we provide a fully managed, responsive service that eliminates confusing schedules and constantly changing staff members.

Every Care Professional is thoughtfully matched with clients based not only on skills but on shared interests, creating meaningful, trusted relationships that develop naturally over time. From the Cheviot Hills to the Northumberland coast, our team understands what makes this county special.

Our visits always last at least an hour, providing proper time for quality care and more than task-based cisits. Whether it’s enjoying a gentle walk on Bamburgh Beach, visiting Rothbury market, or support getting to a local appointment, we support older adults to maintain their independence and strong connections in the community.
