The best place to receive care is often the place where someone feels happiest and most at ease, so at Home Instead, we provide compassionate, at-home palliative care throughout Tyne & Wear to help those who prefer to remain in the comfort of their own home while staying connected to the people, routines and possessions that mean the most to them. Home may be where favourite music fills the room, where a loyal pet follows them around the house, or where family and lifelong friends can stop by for a cup of tea. These familiar experiences can bring genuine comfort during difficult times, so we work hard to create more opportunities for them to happen naturally for your loved one. Our personalised care focuses on helping to manage pain and other symptoms while also maintaining their dignity, wellbeing and comfort so they can enjoy the highest possible quality of life at home.

When you're choosing palliative care for your loved one, you want to know they'll be treated with genuine kindness, patience and understanding throughout their experience, so we believe personalised care begins with taking the time to understand what continues to bring them comfort while they're managing a life-limiting condition.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Being comfortable enough to talk openly, ask for help or simply enjoy someone's company can make an important difference during palliative care, so we aim to create this strong connection by matching your loved one with a dedicated Care Professional based on factors like their personality, interests and communication preferences. We keep visits consistent to give them time to get to know one another properly, rather than repeatedly adjusting to someone new each time. Whether helping them attend appointments at Freeman Hospital, coordinating with visiting healthcare professionals, or just being a listening ear at home when they need it most, your loved one's Care Professional can become a strong source of connection and reassurance throughout their journey.
Our Care Professionals undergo specialist palliative care training that includes compassionate communication and recognising changing needs, while regular reviews give your family opportunities to share feedback and ensure the match continues providing the care and attention your loved one deserves.
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!
