Get in touch Why Home Help & Housekeeping may be right for you
Supporting independence often means noticing the little things – ensuring the fridge is well-stocked, medications are taken, the post is opened and bills aren’t going unnoticed, and the bins go out on time. Our Care Professionals become trusted helpers who understand your loved one’s routines and preferences, whether that’s how they like their shopping arranged or which local shops they prefer to visit. We believe in supporting mental wellbeing too, so every visit includes time to chat and check how your loved one is feeling.
What we do to care for your loved ones
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

We have spent a fabulous morning at Spark Community Space today with some of our amazing volunteers attending a Dementia Awareness session delivered by the lovely Helen Brown of Home Instead Portsmouth.
We now have a far better understanding of what dementia can mean [to the person living with dementia] and their loved ones and how we can help then feel welcomed and safe.
