Home care in South East
Home care in South East 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.
We match each client with a Care Professional based on shared interests and personality, not just availability. If someone loves cooking, we'll pair them with a Care Professional who enjoys being in the kitchen too, so preparing a favourite recipe together feels natural rather than like a task being done for them. Prefer an afternoon walking through one of the South East's National Trust parks? Their Care Professional is someone who'd genuinely enjoy that.
Personalisation runs through everything we do. Some people prefer support early in the morning; others want company later in the day. We learn how someone likes things done, from how they organise their kitchen to the meals they enjoy, and we follow their lead consistently across every visit.
Visits are flexible and built around each person's routine. We offer hourly daytime support, longer companionship visits, and overnight care, whether sleeping or waking. Every visit lasts a minimum of one hour, giving enough time for things to feel unhurried and for a genuine relationship to grow.
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.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Our Care Starts With Connection
Our Care Professionals get to know each client well enough that support feels like a natural part of the day. They'll learn someone's preferred morning routine, how they like their breakfast, which cupboards things go in, and the small preferences that make a home feel like theirs.
We don't ask people to adjust to us. If a client has always done their shopping on a Thursday morning and likes a coffee at the café afterwards, that's what we'll do with them. A particular way of folding laundry or a preferred brand at the supermarket? We respect that too.
Clients see the same Care Professionals regularly, so there's no need to explain things twice or adapt to someone new each visit. That familiarity builds over time and makes a real difference to how comfortable and confident people feel at home — with someone they know and trust, rather than a stranger.
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.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!
