Get in touch Why Home Care may be right for you
Home care doesn’t have to begin with a crisis. In fact, taking that first step early, whether it’s a few hours of support a week or occasional companionship, can help avoid more urgent decisions later on. At Home Instead Sutton, we often begin with simple routines: a friendly visit, a short walk through Manor Park, or help with a hot meal. These early touches of support not only ease the strain on families, but also lay the foundation for a trusted relationship if needs change. Even if you’re not sure where to begin, we’re here to guide you in a clear way. We’ll create a care plan that suits your loved one and match them with a care professional who fits in naturally, so care becomes part of life, not a disruption.
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.

I would like to thank you and your carers for the support that you provided for my Dad whilst he was at home. My Dad grew very attached to all his carers and talks about them fondly and certainly misses the one to one relationship that he had with all of them. Thanks also for your regular telephone communication keeping me updated with developments.
Mrs P, Wallington
Home Instead’s reliable service and superb, understanding caregivers enabled Dad to enjoy living at home for as long as possible. The records kept and phone calls were very helpful and useful. I was able to see changes is Dad’s abilities and adjust care accordingly. Dad is now in residential care and I was delighted when Sutton Home Instead agreed to continue with supporting Dad once a week. He is very lucky!
Mrs B
Mum has gone from being doubtful and sceptical about receiving care from outside of her family, to being very happy and satisfied with your service and she really looks forward to A’s visits. Thank you very much for your care and attention to detail with regard to Mum’s needs and I really appreciated your contact to keep me informed and updated in the early stages of “the match.”
Mrs C.O. Carshalton
H was marvellous! She worked well with Mum- my husband and I were impressed with how she hit the ground running so to speak. H even had Mum at Church before I got there on Sunday and she looked lovely! Thank you so much for getting the right person for Mum. It was so comforting to know that Mum was in good hands while D was away.
Mrs S.L.
All the carers that I have met have been professional, caring, friendly and empathetic. I would highly recommend the Sutton team to anyone looking for assistance.
Mr S
Tailored Home Care in Sutton, Surrey
Sometimes, the smallest signs tell us when a loved one might need more support. That’s why starting with simple home care can be so valuable. For example, one family in Sutton got in touch, asking for occasional company for their mum. However, during visits, her care professional noticed signs that she was struggling to manage her weekly shopping. Now, with more regular support, the pair make trips together to Sainsbury’s, turning what once felt overwhelming into something enjoyable. These shared routines help keep life feeling normal while making sure nothing is missed. With the right care, we ensure your loved ones can continue living well at home.

- What is domiciliary care?Discover More
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.
- 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.
