Local Life, Lived Your Way in Tyne Valley
Home Instead Tyne Valley helps older adults enjoy local trips, fresh air, and time with others through caring, personalised support.
Spending time in the community, whether that’s a stroll through a park, a trip to the shops, or a catch-up over coffee, plays a big role in how we feel day to day. At Home Instead Tyne Valley, we support older adults to stay connected with the places and people they love, with gentle, thoughtful help every step of the way.
Our Care Professionals offer more than just practical support. They’re a friendly face, a steady hand, and a reassuring presence, helping each outing feel enjoyable, relaxed, and completely tailored to the client.
Enjoyable Local Outings and Gentle Routines
There are plenty of simple pleasures to enjoy in and around Tyne Valley. Here are just a few ways we support clients to get out and about:
Walks with a View
For those who enjoy the outdoors, a walk along the River Tyne or a short trip to Tyne Green Country Park offers peaceful scenery, easy walking paths, and plenty of spots to sit and chat.
The area’s natural beauty makes even a short outing feel special.
A Trip to the Shops
Popping to the market in Hexham, picking up a few essentials, or choosing a gift for a grandchild, these little errands are part of everyday life.
We provide practical support and friendly company to make these trips simple and stress-free.
Coffee, Cake and Conversation
A visit to a local café like the Valley Connection or The Garden Coffee House in Corbridge is a great way to enjoy a treat and a good chat.
Whether it’s a regular routine or a spontaneous outing, we make sure it’s something to look forward to.
Gardening and Garden Centres
For those with green fingers, or simply a love of flowers, time in the garden can be both relaxing and rewarding. We support clients with light gardening tasks or plan visits to nearby garden centres like Brocksbushes or Northumberland Garden World, where there’s always something to admire.
Local Events and Activities
From library talks and community coffee mornings to church socials and charity fundraisers, there’s always something happening locally. If a client’s interested, we’ll help plan the visit, arrange transport, and make sure they feel comfortable joining in.
And if getting out sometimes feels a bit much, we support companionship at home and bring services to you, like our nail care, to make you feel special during difficult days.
Thoughtful Support, Tailored to You
Everyone’s idea of a good outing is different. Some prefer quiet surroundings and familiar places, while others like a bit of variety and buzz. That’s why we take the time to get to know each client, their preferences, routines, and what makes them feel at ease.
Our Care Professionals can help with:
- Getting ready for the outing – from dressing comfortably to packing a bag
- Supporting mobility, including the use of walking aids or arranging taxis
- Making outings feel safe, unhurried, and enjoyable
- Being a trusted companion for conversation and emotional reassurance
A Small Step with a Big Impact
Getting out can boost wellbeing, reduce loneliness, and bring joy to the everyday. These experiences often mean more than the destination – it’s about feeling connected, valued, and part of the world around you.
We’re proud to support people in living life their way, with the freedom to keep enjoying the things they love.
