Get in touch Why Home Help & House Keeping may be right for you
No two homes are the same, and neither are the people living in them. That’s why we tailor every visit to reflect how each client likes things done. Whether it’s folding laundry a specific way, using certain products, or preparing meals just as they like them, we focus on the details that make a difference. Our Care Professionals work at the client’s pace, bringing warmth and calm to everyday routines. While we’re there, we’re also a friendly face, someone to chat to, laugh with, or share a pot of tea. These small touches create a sense of normality and reassurance. Familiar routines and friendly support make a house feel like home.

Very friendly and efficient staff and service. Carers are willing to please and bend over backwards to supply meals, companionship, personal care if needed and help with day to day tasks.
They are always there to listen and cheer me up on my down days.
AM, Client
Home Instead are excellent at what they do. The carers who have looked after my Aunt have been punctual, attentive and caring at all times. Office staff have also been very helpful and easy to contact. We could not have wished for better service.
Brian, Nephew of Client
The care companions have been so much more than carers. They’ve become like Dad’s friends, friends who cook, clean and shop but who also sit and chat, really listen and do those little extra special things that make him feel valued. I know Dad has been pleased. For my sisters and me, it’s given us peace of mind to have found an organisation who doesn’t just pay lip service to caring.
Sarah, daughter of Client
Our carer is an amazing young woman. We look at her as one of the family, and we couldn’t do without her. On a personal view, she is my only contact with the outside world, (of course we see our family very often) and they think she is a “star”!
