To us it's personal

No two people we support are quite the same, so the help we provide is always personalised to you and the way you like to do things. For some this may centre on companionship and support following a stay at a local hospital, cooking and a hand around the house, while for others it means more comprehensive support managing longer-term conditions such as dementia or Parkinson's. Maintaining independence and staying part of the community is important to all our clients, and so our Care Professionals, many of whom drive, are always happy to take you out and about. That might be a morning at the seafront, a walk around the walled gardens at Priory Park, or a lift to the shops or to meet a friend for lunch. We support many people living with dementia, and live-in care suits them well, as familiar surroundings and one consistent Care Professional help them feel settled day to day.

Choosing Home Instead Southend for personalised home care

Our live-in care also helps you stay part of your own community, close to the people and places you know. Because the same Care Professional shares daily life with you, they come to understand your routines and the things that are important to you, and they help you keep up with them, whether that is a coffee with a friend, a club you have belonged to for years, or seeing family. Relatives can visit whenever they like, just as they always have, and stay as involved as they want to be. Your Care Professional has a bedroom of their own in the home and is on hand through the day, with proper breaks, and close by overnight if anything unexpected happens. If more support is needed at night, we can talk that through and arrange it.

Our Southend Team is With You Through Every Step

The standard of care we provide starts with the people we employ. Every Care Professional is recruited and employed directly by us, thoroughly background checked and supported with ongoing training, including specialist areas such as dementia and Parkinson’s. Our local team stays closely involved too. Families can speak to us by phone or meet us in person, and because we live and work locally, we know the area’s GP surgeries, pharmacies, district nurses and other services well. We can also help point families towards trusted local tradespeople if something at home needs attention. We are fully regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission. Whether you are arranging short-term care after a hospital stay or looking for longer-term support at home, our team can talk through what you need and how we can help.
