Get in touch Why Personal Care may be right for you
Personal care should always be personal. That’s why we start by learning how each client prefers things, from the order of their morning routine to how they like their hair styled or which products they use. Support might include help with continence, mobility, oral hygiene, medication, shaving, or dressing, always delivered with kindness and discretion. We also keep families involved, using our care app and regular reviews to keep communication open. Our goal is to help clients feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after, without losing their independence or sense of control in daily life.
What we do to care for your loved ones
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.

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”!
JB, wife of Client

Everyone has been so professional and genuine with their care. I witnessed an immediate improvement in my mum’s health… making Mum feel loved and valued.” This kind of transformation is why we do what we do. Personal care is more than physical support; it’s emotional reassurance, human connection, and a way to help someone feel like themselves again, every single day.
