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)

Search here if you cannot see your town or postcode - What local support is available?
Ensuring reliable live-in care means having robust support ready to handle any changes or emergencies. It’s important to ask how a provider manages carers schedules, especially if adjustments are needed or if a carer is unavailable.
At Home Instead we maintain a comprehensive local team that coordinates alternative arrangements in situations such as if the Care Professional is ill, without disrupting care continuity – ensuring your loved one always receives the attention they need.
- Are your carers employed or are they self-employed?
There are broadly two types of live-in care providers: self-employed carers and professional care companies. Self-employed carers typically offer flexibility and may cost less, but they often lack regulation, comprehensive training, and insurance, which can impact the quality and reliability of care.
Professional care companies, like Home Instead, directly employ Care Professionals who are rigorously trained and fully background-checked and insured. These employees are covered under the company’s policies, including national insurance and payroll, ensuring a secure, and high-standard care environment.
- What qualifications do your carers have?
Training and qualifications are vital in ensuring live-in carers deliver high-quality care. It’s a good idea to ask about the providers training levels and certifications.
Home Instead’s Care Professionals receive comprehensive training in areas such as mobility support, dementia and Parkinson’s care, catheter management, and end of life support. Our commitment to ongoing professional development ensures they are well-prepared to provide compassionate and effective care across various scenarios.
- How do you match caregivers with clients?
Compatibility between a live-in carer and client can greatly influence the quality of care. It’s beneficial to enquire about the matching process and how a provider ensures that the caregiver’s personality and skills align with the client’s needs and preferences.
At Home Instead, we carefully, match clients with one or more Care Professionals based on shared interests and care requirements to foster a comfortable and supportive relationship.
- How does your service ensure care continuity during emergencies or caregiver changes?
Continuity of care is essential, especially in emergencies or when regular live-in carers are unavailable. Ask your care provider how they handle such situations.
Home Instead has protocols in place to ensure that care continues seamlessly, with trained Care Professionals ready to step on so that your loved one’s needs are always met without interruption.
- What is live-in care?
Live-in care means a trained, professional carer will live with you in your home in order to provide the care you need on a regular basis, and support your specific needs. This is often a preferable alternative to a care home or nursing home, and it allows older people to remain living in their own home alongside a constant companion who can assist with things like personal care, specialist medical care, cooking, housework, and more.
Discover More - How much does live-in care cost?
Every live-in care package is unique to the individual client, so the best way to gauge how much this will cost you is to get in touch to discuss your loved ones needs. As a rough guide to cost, live-in care through an agency often ranges from around £1,350 to £2,000 per week in the UK, depending on their needs and other factors mentioned in our guide on cost linked below.
Discover More - How many hours does the Care Professional work?
Live-in care is not the same as 24-hour care. A Care Professional will typically work an 8 to 10 hour day. Those hours will be discussed in your initial assessment and tailored to suit the needs of the person receiving care. A live-in Care Professional is of course on hand in case of emergencies, but it is not generally expected that they will provide ongoing night care. The Care Professional also needs to have breaks throughout the day, and other Care Professionals may visit the home if a wrap-around care service is offered, giving the main care provider their needed breaks without any interruption in support.
- What will a live-in Care Professional require?
A live-in Care Professional must have their own bedroom for personal space. It is also typically expected that the home has an internet connection. Arrangements for food will be discussed in your consultation, but the Care Professional typically receives a weekly food allowance to purchase food for themselves. Live-in Care Professionals may cook and eat with their clients, or they may decide to do this separately, depending on the dietary requirements and personal preferences of everyone involved.
- What are the benefits of live-in care at home?
Live-in care at home empowers the elderly to maintain their independence, dignity, and a sense of control over their lives, while still receiving dedicated, comprehensive support. By far the main benefit is that live-in care allows care recipients to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, which can significantly enhance emotional well-being and quality of life. This form of care is highly personalised, adapting to the specific needs and routines of the individual, ensuring tailored support for daily activities, medication management, mobility assistance, and more. The one-on-one nature of live-in care fosters a strong bond between the Care Professional and care recipient, providing companionship and reducing feelings of isolation. Staying at home eliminates the disruption and stress often associated with moving to a care facility, and even 24 hour live-in home care can also be considerably more cost-effective than residential care options, as it avoids facility fees which can often be extremely steep.
