Home care in York
Home care in York 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.
Helping someone remain independent is often about making everyday life a little easier while encouraging them to stay involved in the things they can still comfortably manage for themselves. Our Care Professionals can help someone get up and ready in the morning, prepare meals, support them with medication or lend a hand with light housekeeping, while respecting their usual routines and preferences.

Remaining independent can also include being able to keep up with events and routines in the local community. Our Care Professionals love accompanying clients to appointments at York Hospital, into the city for shopping, to meet a friend or for some time at Rowntree Park or the Museum Gardens. Every visit lasts at least an hour, giving enough time to provide the care properly and still enjoy some companionship without anyone feeling rushed.
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
We place a great deal of importance on continuity because familiar Care Professionals are able to build a much better understanding of the person they are supporting. Wherever possible, each client is cared for by the same Care Professional or small team, so they are seeing people who already know their routines, preferences and how they like things done.
Over time, that familiarity helps trust develop and gives our Care Professionals a clearer sense of how someone is doing from one visit to the next. They know where a person welcomes support, what they prefer to manage themselves and when something seems different from usual. Our local office remains closely involved as well, reviewing the care with families and making adjustments when they are 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!
