Quality, Personalised Home Care in Cumbria
People who’ve lived in Cumbria for years know which places feel like home, whether that’s the tearoom at Dalemain Mansion, the shops in Penrith town centre, or time beside Lake Windermere. Our Care Professionals live and work locally, so they understand what makes this area special and can help clients continue enjoying the routines and places they love.
Home care here isn’t only about personal care or medication reminders. It’s about supporting someone’s lifestyle, whether they want to visit Tullie House Museum in Carlisle, browse the shops at Rheged Centre, or stay comfortable at home with help preparing meals or managing appointments.
We’re CQC-registered and work closely with local health services, which means families can trust that their loved one is receiving professional, reliable support. Our Care Professionals are trained to understand each client’s preferences and routines, and we take time to arrange care that genuinely fits. If someone’s week includes specific places or habits they’ve built over the years, we make sure those stay part of their life.
Person-centred care
Home care in Cumbria works best when there’s time to build a proper relationship, which is why we start by getting to know each client before arranging anything. We match people with Care Professionals who suit their personality and lifestyle, then keep the same person visiting wherever we can.
Every visit lasts at least an hour, giving time for a proper chat and whatever help is needed, without anyone feeling hurried. For clients living with dementia, this unhurried approach and familiar routine can make a real difference to how comfortable they feel at home.
Our Care Professionals are employed directly by us and trained to understand each person’s routines. They get to know preferences, habits, and the little things that make each day better. Families tell us they value knowing their loved one has someone who genuinely understands them and who they can rely on.
Choosing Home Instead for personalised home care in Cumbria
What makes us different from another care agency in Cumbria is how we’re set up to support families. Our locally-based office means someone’s always available to answer questions and respond quickly if circumstances change. That kind of responsiveness makes a real difference when you’re committing to care for someone you love.
We invest in ongoing training for our Care Professionals, so they’re equipped to handle changing needs with confidence and skill. Care plans are reviewed regularly and adapted as needs shift, so families aren’t left managing things alone. We keep communication clear and consistent, which means you’ll always know who’s visiting and what’s been arranged.
For families balancing work, distance, or other responsibilities, having a provider that handles the details and keeps you informed takes real pressure off. It’s home care that works because it’s properly managed and genuinely reliable.
