Home help and housekeeping is one of the many services that we offer to the local community within Retford, Bawtry, Tickhill and Gainsborough. We know a neat and clean property can make a difference to the health and wellbeing of older adults. This is why we offer home help and housekeeping, which means our local Care Professionals can support with various chores and tasks, ensuring the property is in great condition and reducing strain on your loved one, whilst giving them time back to do what they love. Since all our care packages are tailored specifically to the individual, it means we can meet regular routines, and your loved one can get as little or as much support as they need.

Our home help and housekeeping service has a wide variety of support that our Care Professionals can assist with, and this includes but is not limited to putting bins out, laundry, dusting, vacuuming and even supporting with any family pets. Your loved one will be matched to a Care Professional who, courtesy of our one-hour minimum call time, will take their time to get to know how your loved one likes to keep everything organised around the house. There are a lot of benefits to home help, and some include removing any clutter or unwanted items that could become a trip hazard, supporting your loved one to create an ideal space that makes them feel comfortable.

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.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
Felicity F, whose aunt received home care from Home Instead, shared on homecare.co.uk how much they valued the personal and reliable support provided. She explained that her aunt needed help with personal care, light cleaning and meal preparation, as well as friendly companionship, and was “delighted with the carers’ personal and friendly approach.” Felicity praised the professionalism and organisation of the team, saying “everything was explained clearly, from contacts to emergency care.” This mix of practical home help and caring companionship made all the difference, helping her aunt stay comfortable and independent at home.

Our Retford and Gainsborough office, led by Jade Ebden and Gemma Whall, helps families stay connected and reassured about the care their loved ones receive. We offer a care app, which allows you to view updates after each visit so you know what has been done and how your loved one is getting on. If you ever need to make changes to visit times, ask a question or simply talk about something, our team is available by phone, email or in person at the office. All our care packages are tailored to the individual, which means we can respond quickly to any changes and provide intervention methods where required, ensuring your loved one is receiving the correct level of care that they need.

We are proud to have strong links within the local community, and our Community Engagement Officer, David, is regularly out and about at church groups and community halls, signposting individuals who may benefit from our support. We also take part in local events and actively fundraise for Home Instead Charities because we believe in their mission to reduce social isolation and loneliness in older adults.
