The Care Professionals and Management Team have (and continue to) support my parents and brother in a truly empathetic, caring and professional way. As I live a long way from the family home it is reassuring to know that my family are being looked after so well. The team provides companionship and personal care with timely communications.
Jude R (Daughter of Client)
The service provided by Home Instead Salford has been excellent throughout. The care and professionalism shown by the carers and the office staff has been exemplary. Any difficult issues are communicated and dealt with sensitively and with compassion. As I don’t live close by, knowing my father is well cared for by genuinely kind and understanding carers is so comforting. I can’t praise the team enough.
Christine S (Daughter of Client)
I had a meeting this morning with two of the staff at Home Instead (Salford). Care and communication are excellent as always and our meeting was dealt with professionally. We continue to be delighted with Dad’s care.
Diane S (Daughter of Client)
I can not complain about anything. My Care Professional has done everything I have asked of her. She has cleaned, she has shopped, and she has taken me to appointments. I am 96 and I find the things that I can do no longer, she does for me. If she wasn’t here to do those things, they wouldn’t get done. Without my Care Professional, it would be harder for me as I like my independence.
G.R (Client)
Homeinstead have made a massive difference to the quality of my life. The routine, consistency, professionalism, good communication and attention to detail works well for me.
D.S (Client)
I would like to thank all the Care Professionals who have visited my Dad over the last few years. Without their support and diligence, we would not have been able to keep Dad at home until his final days, as was always his wish.
Lisa (Daughter of Client)
The whole team around my family have been so supportive. Mum loved being cared for by C.G in particular- she always spoke of her so fondly and told me how thoughtful she was towards her, always treating her with kindness, dignity and respect. She also made her laugh even when Mum was at her lowest- another truly amazing Care Professional to whom I’m so very grateful for.
Jude (Daughter of Client)
J.N has been wonderful to Mum in the three years she has supported her. J.N has been with Mum since the beginning, it truly has been a successfull match. J.N has taken her time to really get to know mum, she goes above and beyond and nothing is too much trouble for her, she most certainly goes the extra mile.
Rona (Daughter of Client)
I am pleased with my Mum’s Care Professional’s. They get on really well with Mum and I can go walk the dog without worrying, as I know my Mum is in safe hands.
Rita (Daughter of Client)
M.L is one of my carers who is loyal, respectful and very caring. Without her things would not be the same, I would be less independent. When she takes me shopping I feel better as we have a laugh and get something nice from the cafe. I am glad she is my carer and I would not know what to do without her.
M.M (Client)
You have such wonderful staff who treat mum so lovely. Mum looks forward to A.Q doing her nails and she was telling me how she makes her nice meals.
Heather (Daughter of Client)
The Care Professioanal’s are wonderful and I could not be without them. S.A has been there the longest and knows Dad so well. She does everything like I would do it which means such a lot. I know he is in good hands and is being looked after.
Helen (Daughter of Client)
I would like to thank the Care Professioanls and all staff at Home Instead for the care and help
they have provided my mother, helping to get her back to herself after her illness. I would have no hesitation recommending Home Instead.
Paul (Son of Client)
Home Instead has been fabulous in setting up a care package for my mum. We thought the process was going to be quite daunting but a particular member of staff and the team made it really easy. The carers who look after my mum are brilliant and my mum is really happy with them from day one. It has really helped my mum and taken a lot of pressure off the family.
Peter H (Son of Client)
We can’t thank Home Instead (Salford) enough for taking care of our 96-year-old grandmother during the difficult lockdown period and subsequently two years following. Her direct care giver was exceptional and a real lifesaver. Their friendship and companionship is held in very high regard from both my grandmother and the whole family.
Colette H (Granddaughter of Client)
The caregivers at Home Instead have been looking after our sister for the last seven months. We got in touch with them when it was clear that she required help with daily living. Her dementia had increased to a point where she was no longer able to perform many of the tasks needed to remain on her own, including meal preparation and taking medication, but she wasn’t yet ready to move into a care situation.Since the visits started, carers have turned up, as agreed, twice a day, faithfully, and on time. All of them have been cheerful and encouraging of her, providing much-needed company as well as preparing meals, tidying up and cleaning the kitchen.We are most grateful to the caregivers; they have meant much to all of us, and we have appreciated their professionalism.
P K (Brother of Client)
Tailored Home Care in Salford and Worsley
The trust families place in us shines through in their words. As one daughter shared on homecare.co.uk: “Both myself and brother are able to have proper visits with Mum now. Since Home Instead started, Mum’s health and mental health have improved due to the extra interaction.” Another family member wrote about how our team “treats my parents with respect, maintaining their dignity with loving care.” These relationships mean everything – helping people feel valued, understood and supported to live life on their terms.

Search here if you cannot see your town or postcode - What is domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care, also known as home care, refers to a range of supportive services provided to individuals who require assistance with daily activities but wish to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. This type of care is tailored to the specific needs of each person and can include tasks such as personal assistance, meal preparation, companionship, and even light housekeeping. Domiciliary care allows the elderly to maintain a degree of independence while receiving the necessary support to lead a fulfilling and safe life at home, with peace of mind for their loved ones knowing that they have support.
Discover More - Why choose domiciliary care?
Domiciliary care allows elderly people to remain at home in a familiar environment – boosting wellbeing and happiness – while promoting independence and autonomy, providing personalised and family-involved care, being cost-effective compared to institutional options like care homes, reducing lifestyle disruption and helping to maintain routines. All these things can contribute to better emotional and mental wellbeing, but also provide peace of mind to elderly individuals and their families. The decision to opt for domiciliary care depends on individual needs and circumstances, with many of the advantages stemming from its tailored, in-home support.
- How does domiciliary care help?
Domiciliary care provides valuable support to elderly people by offering a range of services tailored to their needs that are delivered within the comfort of their own homes. These services can include assistance with daily activities such as personal hygiene, grooming, dressing, and medication management. Care Professionals can aid in meal preparation, ensure proper nutrition, and help with mobility. Companionship and social interaction are also crucial components, addressing feelings of isolation and loneliness.
It is also a great way to enhance the safety of elderly people at home, reducing the risk of falls and accidents through monitoring and support. Household tasks like cleaning and laundry can be managed too, alleviating more stress. All of these types of help together means that domiciliary care promotes independence, enhances quality of life, and provides a sense of well-being and security for elderly people who may have difficulty managing on their own.
- How much is domiciliary care?
The cost of domiciliary care can vary widely depending on factors such as the level of care needed, the number of hours of care required, the geographic location, and the specific services provided. Generally, domiciliary care costs are broken down into hourly rates, and the total expense can accumulate over time. Domiciliary care can often be more affordable than moving to a care facility, but it’s essential to research and understand the costs of services covered by the fees to make the right choices for yourself or your loved ones.
- Is domiciliary care good value/cost effective?
Domiciliary care can often provide very good value and be highly cost-effective, especially when compared to the expenses associated with moving into a care home or similar residential facility. While the exact costs depend on individual needs and location, receiving personalised care in the comfort of home can be more affordable and efficient in terms of both financial investment and comparative wellbeing. Having care and support delivered at home allows seniors to maintain their independence, avoid the costs associated with residential care, and receive tailored assistance that can enhance their quality of life. However, it’s important to thoroughly assess the specific services, rates, and available funding options to make an informed decision about the cost-effectiveness of domiciliary care for your specific situation.
- How is domiciliary care funded?
Domiciliary care can be funded through several avenues. Private payments allow individuals and/or their families to cover costs directly, while long-term care insurance policies may also provide coverage to help. Government support is available through programs like the National Health Service (NHS) and local authorities, which offer assistance based on care needs and financial circumstances. Veterans may access funding through veterans’ benefits, and charitable organisations or grants can provide additional financial aid. Both personal budgets and direct payments are generally offered by local authorities, giving people more direct control over how to fund care services. Navigating these funding options usually entails meeting eligibility criteria, and selecting the best-suited avenues for the financial and care requirements you or your loved ones have.
- Who might use a domiciliary care service?
Domiciliary care services are sought by all kinds of people who require support to maintain their independence and wellbeing as they age, or to help ease back into a routine at home after surgery or in the case of long term illness. Family caregivers seeking respite and support also often welcome at-home support to help with managing long term care, and it can be highly beneficial to elderly people who may feel isolated or lonely, as Care Professionals provide companionship and social interaction. Anyone in need of personalised assistance and support with daily activities within the comfort of their own home can benefit from some form of domiciliary care.
- What is the role of a domiciliary care worker?
A domiciliary care worker’s role involves providing tailored support to seniors within their homes. Workers assist with personal care tasks like bathing and grooming, aid in mobility, prepare nutritious meals, offer companionship, manage medications, perform light housekeeping, provide transportation, and monitor health conditions. Their responsibilities extend to emotional support, safety awareness, documentation, and collaboration with healthcare professionals. By promoting independence and well-being, Care Professionals providing domiciliary care play a crucial role in helping the elderly to maintain a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle within their own homes rather than needing to be taken into a residential facility.
- What is the difference between domiciliary care and residential care?
Domiciliary care, or home care, offers personalised support within an individual’s own residence, encompassing tasks like personal care and companionship. It allows seniors to remain at home while receiving the necessary assistance. In contrast, residential care involves relocating individuals to specialised facilities such as assisted living or nursing homes, where they receive around-the-clock care, including help with personal needs, meals, and medical requirements. The decision between these options hinges on someone’s particular care needs and their preference for staying at home or transitioning to a residential care facility.
- What domiciliary care services can you provide?
At Home Instead, we provide a comprehensive range of domiciliary care services designed to help elderly adults maintain their independence and comfort within their own homes. Our offerings vary by location but typically include essential services such as companionship, where our Care Professionals engage in conversations, games, and outings, and provide emotional support. Personal care services encompass assistance with daily activities like bathing, grooming, and mobility support. Day care services offer companionship and engagement during the day, while our home help and housekeeping assistance ensure a clean and organised living environment. Overnight care, respite care, and other specialised services are available to meet unique needs. Contact your local Home Instead office to learn more about our tailored domiciliary care options.
