• Working with the Bromsgrove Healthcare Community

  We believe that the best care happens when everyone works together.

  That is why we maintain close links with local health services across Bromsgrove to make sure that our clients have a joined-up support system.

  So, whether your loved one is being discharged from the Princess of Wales Community Hospital on Stourbridge Road or needs a Care Professional to accompany them to a check-up, we are here to help.

  We also regularly support clients who are registered with local GP surgeries, including:

  • Churchfields Surgery (Stourbridge Road)

  • Bromsgrove Health Centre (New Road)

  • The Catshill Village Surgery

  • Barnt Green Surgery

  So much so that our team can help coordinate with district nurses, assist with collecting prescriptions from local pharmacies like Knight’s or Boots, and make sure that any advice from your doctor is followed closely at home as well.
  By staying connected with Bromsgrove’s medical community, we can help to provide a safer, more reliable service for your family as a result.

• Understanding the Cost of Home Care in Bromsgrove

  Choosing the right care is a big decision, and we know that one of the first questions families ask is: “How does the funding work?” Because our care is completely tailored to you—whether it’s a few hours of companionship a week or full-time live-in support—the cost will depend on your specific needs. However, we believe in being clear and helpful about how care is paid for in Worcestershire.

  Funding Options in Worcestershire

  There are generally three ways that your home care can be funded in the Bromsgrove area, such as:

  
  Self-Funding
  Many of our clients in Bromsgrove pay for their care privately, and this gives you total control over the type of care you receive and who provides it.

  Direct Payments & Personal Budgets
  If you have had a care assessment from Worcestershire County Council, you may be eligible for financial help as well.
  Here, many families choose to receive this as a “Direct Payment” too, allowing them to pick Home Instead as their preferred provider.

  Attendance Allowance
  This is also a non-means-tested benefit for people over state pension age who need help at home, and it can be a huge help towards the cost of our services.

  
  How We Help You Plan?

  We also don’t believe in hidden fees or complicated contracts.
  As a result, during our free Care Consultation, we will visit you at home (anywhere from Catshill to Barnt Green) to chat about what you need.
  We will then provide you with a clear, transparent breakdown of costs tailored to your schedule and your unique needs and requirements.

  If you are also not sure where to look for what funding is available, our team can also help to signpost you to local Bromsgrove resources and financial advisors who specialise in later-life care, making sure you get all the support you’re entitled to as well.

• Meet, Lianne McCarthy – Registered Care Manager, at Home Instead Redditch & Bromsgrove

  I have lived and worked in the area for over 20 years. My passion is ensuring our Redditch and Bromsgrove neighbours receive the same level of care I would want for my own family. As the Registered Care Manager, I personally oversee every care plan to ensure it meets our ‘Outstanding’ standards.

  So, whether we are supporting a client with a walk in Sanders Park or providing specialist sleep-in care in Longbridge, our goal is always the same: reliable, high-quality care tailored to you.

• Specialist Dementia Care in Bromsgrove

  We understand that a dementia diagnosis affects the whole family, but with the right support, it is possible to continue living a full and happy life at home.

  As specialists in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, our Bromsgrove Home Care team is trained to look beyond the diagnosis and focus on the person – their history, their likes, and their routine.

  For instance, we do not just provide care within the four walls of the home; we actually help our clients stay connected to the Bromsgrove community.

  So much so that we are proud to support and signpost families to wonderful local resources, such as:

  
  The Bromsgrove Memory Cafe
  Which is a fantastic place for advice and socialising, held regularly at the Bromsgrove Methodist Church.

  
  The “Meeting Centre” (at Bromsgrove Baptist Church)
  A support hub for people with mild to moderate dementia and their families.

  Sanders Park
  Where we often accompany our clients for gentle “sensory walks” through the park to enjoy the fresh air and seasonal flowers.

  So, whether you need a few hours of respite to take a break or daily specialist support to manage more complex symptoms, our Bromsgrove-based Care Professionals use “relationship-led” techniques to reduce anxiety and promote well-being, and we can also work closely with local memory clinics and GP surgeries to ensure your care plan is always up to date, as well.

• Respite Care, A Helping Hand for Bromsgrove Families

  Being a family carer is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, but we also know how exhausting it can be.
  So, whether you are looking after a spouse in Aston Fields or popping in daily to see a parent in Catshill, everyone needs a break to recharge.

  That is why our Bromsgrove respite care services are designed to give you peace of mind while you take some well-earned time for yourself.

  Whether you need a few hours a week to catch up with friends at The Jinney Ring Craft Centre, a morning to browse the Bromsgrove Market, or a full week away for a holiday, we can step in to make sure that your loved one’s routine isn’t disrupted.

  
  Why Choose Our Local Respite Support?

  
  Trusted Local Faces
  Our Care Professionals are locals who can take your loved one for a stroll in Sanders Park or a tea at a local garden centre, keeping them active and engaged.

  Flexible Support
  From “emergency” cover to a regular weekly afternoon off, we tailor our visits to suit your family’s schedule.

  Expertise You Can Trust
  If you are caring for someone with complex needs or dementia, we provide a seamless handover so you can truly switch off, knowing they are in safe hands.

  So don’t wait until you’re at breaking point, as a little bit of help can make a world of difference to both you and your loved one.

• Live-in Care in Bromsgrove and Across Worcestershire

  For many families, there comes a point where hourly visits might not be enough, but moving into a residential care home in Worcestershire isn’t the preferred choice either.

  That is where our Live-in Care service offers you a wonderful alternative, allowing your loved one to stay in the home they love, surrounded by their own memories, pets, and neighbours.

  
  A Local Alternative to Care Homes

  For instance, having a dedicated Care Professional living in the home with you provides a level of security and companionship that is second to none.
  As a result, we can provide Live-in Care across the entire Bromsgrove district and throughout Worcestershire, to make sure that whether you are in Barnt Green, Hanbury, or Droitwich, you can access premium, one-to-one support.

  
  Why Choose Home Instead Live-in Care?

  There are many reasons to choose us, including, for instance:

  
  Consistency
  We carefully match our Live-in Care Professionals to our clients’ personalities and interests. Whether it’s someone to help with the garden or a companion to chat about local history, we find the right fit.

  
  Safety & Support
  From managing medications to assisting with mobility, having someone on hand 24/7 provides total peace of mind for families who may live further away in the West Midlands.

  
  Staying Part of the Community
  Our Live-in staff help clients stay active locally. Whether it’s a trip to Webbs at Wychbold for lunch or a drive out to the Malvern Hills, we ensure life stays full and interesting.

  So, if you are exploring Live-in Care options in Worcestershire, we are here to help you navigate the process, and we can visit your home for a private consultation to discuss how a live-in arrangement could work for your family as well.
