Home care in Wakefield
Home care in Wakefield 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.
One of our Care Professionals will support you with the everyday things that have become a little harder, such as personal care and preparing meals, along with light housekeeping and looking after medication. Just as importantly, life at home carries on as it always has, with your own routines and familiar things around you, and a much-loved pet cared for and kept by your side. Living independently and staying part of the local community is central to the care we provide. Many of our Care Professionals drive, so they are glad to take you out, whether that's for a morning walk around the lake at Pugneys Country Park or to visit a local GP for an appointment. For someone living with dementia, this kind of familiar care can be a real comfort, as staying at home with the same person each day helps daily life feel much more settled.
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
Because the same Care Professional stays with you, they come to understand you well, your preferences and the way you like things done, which is the real value of one-to-one care at home. We start with a home visit and take care to match you with someone who suits you, considering both experience and personality, so you feel comfortable with the person sharing your home.
The Care Professional supporting you has their own room in the home and is on hand throughout the day, with regular breaks. They sleep in the house, so someone is close by overnight, and if you also need care during the night, we will discuss the most suitable arrangement.
Most people we support on an ongoing basis are cared for by a team of two Care Professionals who take it in turns to live with you, each staying for a couple of weeks, which gives you continuity and a familiar face. Our local team arranges the rota and the handovers, and provides any cover that is needed.
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 Wakefield Team is With You Through Every Step
For families we support in Wakefield, live-in care brings real peace of mind, and the chance to step back from caring and be family again. Because our live-in care is managed by our local team, someone who knows your situation is always close at hand, and we keep relatives as involved and informed as they wish to be.
We employ and train every Care Professional ourselves, and our local team oversees the care and reviews it as needs change. Being local, we also know the GP surgeries and pharmacies in the area, and we can call on a trusted tradesperson if something needs attention in the home.
We are fully regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, so the care we provide is independently checked. If you are considering support for a particular need, whether after a stay in hospital or over the longer term, please get in touch and we will discuss how we can help.
