Personal care is exactly that: personal. We take the time to understand how each person likes things done, from the order of their morning routine to the way they style their hair. Our Care Professionals adapt to individual preferences while supporting safety and comfort. They can assist with shaving, oral hygiene, continence care, mobility, and meal preparation, always focusing on what feels right for the client. Family members are also kept informed through regular reviews and feedback. It’s all about providing the right care, in the right way, with empathy and consistency at the heart of it.

The excellent care my Mum received from all the caregivers allowed her to be in her own home for longer than we could have hoped. The sensitivity shown to her growing needs through dementia was greatly appreciated. We had real peace of mind that she was well looked after by a regular team of carers. The communication with office staff certainly made things run smoothly.Fiona D - daughter of client in Southport
Home Instead have been an absolute Godsend to our family. All through lockdown they never let us down. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff in the office and on the ground are always helpful, supportive, reliable, caring and respectful. I would highly recommend their care.Linda T - Daughter of client in Southport.
Home Instead Southport have proved invaluable over the last two and a half years. Dad always wanted to stay in the house that he moved to in 1971 – the home in which he and Mum raised the family. With the support of his lovely Caregivers, Dad managed to do this until the week before he died – aged 98. I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead Southport.K R - Daughter of client in Southport.
The service my father received form Home Instead Southport was life-changing. Since he started receiving a morning visit each day, his physical and mental health has markedly improved, so after two years of care, he seems two years younger. The care was reliable and tailored to what he needed, and the carers were kind, competent and fun.G C - Son of client in Southport.
It was wonderful, it was a load off my mind. Thank you very much.L M - Client in Southport
