Home care in Southampton
Home care in Southampton 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.
Families often come to us when a loved one needs more support than short visits can provide, perhaps after a hospital stay or because they are living with dementia, Parkinson’s or another long-term condition. Our Care Professionals are trained to support people in these situations and, by spending time with someone each day, they get to know their routines, preferences and the way they like things done.
At home, we can help with personal care, medication, meals, light housekeeping and laundry, as well as provide companionship throughout the day. If you have a pet, they can remain part of daily life too.
Many of our Care Professionals drive, so they can help with appointments, visits to friends or simply getting out locally. That might mean a walk on the Common, time by the river at Riverside Park or a trip to the Thursday market in Shirley.
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
A real advantage of live-in care is having someone on hand day and night, which makes a difference to safety as well as peace of mind. Many falls happen when someone is getting about on their own, so having a Care Professional close by, ready to help with moving around the home or getting up in the night, means small difficulties are far less likely to turn into something serious. Should your needs change, perhaps after a fall or a spell of illness, the support can be adjusted straight away rather than leaving the family to manage.
Your Care Professional will have a bedroom of their own and sleeps in the house, so someone is nearby overnight. If you need regular support through the night, we can talk through the best way to arrange it.
Most of our clients are supported by two Care Professionals who take turns to live in for a few weeks at a time, so both become familiar faces. We plan the handovers carefully and arrange cover if either is away, and everything begins with a home visit.
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!

Our Southampton Team is With You Through Every Step
Our live-in care is seamlessly managed by our local Southampton team. This local oversight helps day to day, because we know the GPs and district nurses in the area and we can call on trusted local tradespeople if something in the house needs attention. Families we support tell us this local approach helps a great deal, especially if they live outside the area. You can call us or meet the team face to face, and whether you are looking into care for yourself or for a parent, we are always happy to talk through how we can help.
We employ every Care Professional directly, DBS check them and give them ongoing training throughout their time with us, including in specialist areas such as dementia and Parkinson's. We are also regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, so our standards of safety and quality are checked independently.
