Home care in Downton

We provide exceptional, warm-hearted home care for older adults in Downton and other areas between Salisbury and Romsey. Our fantastic team of Care Professionals help their clients live safely and independently in the place they love best: their own home. Every client is unique, so we provide care that’s tailored to them, including offering dementia support, assisting with home help or personal care, or popping to the local Co-op for some shopping. We also offer companionship, whether that’s chatting over coffee, a trip to Stable and Wick farm shop, or a stroll by the river. Whatever they might be doing, our Care Pros are focused on the same thing: providing excellent care at home while putting a smile on their clients’ faces.

To us it's personal

We offer a wide range of home care services in Downton, including assisting with housekeeping and meal preparation, providing medication support, helping with personal care, and offering companionship. We also provide support for older adults living with conditions such as dementia, as well as more specialist care such as catheter care. Some of our clients only have one or two visits a week, while others have two or three visits a day. We respond as flexibly as possible to our clients’ changing needs, whether that’s by putting additional visits in place or even by transitioning to live-in care, so that our clients can continue to live in the place they love best. We aim to get care up and running within two weeks of the initial enquiry.

Choosing Home Instead Downton for personalised home care

Although Downton can be a great place for an older adult to live-small enough to have a proper community feel but large enough to offer a wide range of amenities-getting out and about may become more challenging with age and that’s where our wonderful Care Professionals can shine. Our Care Pro Shelly drives Mrs E to church and to the local Co-op, while Amy will go to the pharmacy to collect Mrs M’s prescription for her. Attending groups or appointments can also be more demanding as you age, so our Care Pro Tracy accompanies Mr and Mrs P to Downton Downtime on a Tuesday. A familiar and reassuring face goes a long way to easing some of these challenges and perhaps even making them fun!
