  Choosing the right type of care can feel overwhelming, and we understand that.

• How We Create Your Personalised Care Plan

  We don’t just say we offer person-centred care – we live and breathe it. At Home Instead Redditch & Bromsgrove, creating a tailored care plan means getting to know your loved one as a whole person, not just a list of needs.

  Getting to Know You
  Before any care begins, a member of our friendly Redditch & Bromsgrove team will visit you for a relaxed chat in your own home. We’ll take the time to learn about hobbies, daily routines, food preferences, and what’s most important to you. We listen carefully to the whole family, so everyone’s voice is heard.

  Building the Bespoke Care Plan
  From there, we design a care package that fits around everyday life. For example, if your mum loves her garden, we’ll match her with a Care Professional who can pot plants with her. If Dad wants his breakfast at 7am on the dot, that becomes part of the routine. This is older person care that keeps dignity and independence at its heart.

  Adapting as Life Changes
  Life doesn’t stay the same, and neither should care. We regularly review every care plan to ensure it’s still right. If needs grow, say from a few hours a week to live-in care or specialist palliative care, we’ll adjust things seamlessly.
