Home help and housekeeping gives your loved one a hand with the everyday tasks that can start to feel overwhelming – keeping on top of laundry, managing the shopping, preparing nutritious meals, or simply making sure the house stays clean and comfortable. Across Wakefield, Wrenthorpe and Sandal, we support people who want to stay independent at home but need a bit of extra help to make that work. Our Care Professionals don’t just tick off jobs; they work alongside your loved one, involving them in decisions about how things get done and keeping the home organised exactly the way they like it. With our 10 out of 10 rating on homecare.co.uk, families trust us because they can see their loved one is eating well, living safely, and genuinely enjoying the company of the person helping them.

What makes our home help different is the attention to detail and the care that goes into understanding what really matters to each person. Some clients need help batch-cooking meals for the week ahead so there’s always something nutritious in the freezer. Others appreciate having someone sort through the post, help organise appointments, or make sure prescriptions don’t run out. Our Care Professionals notice things – if the milk’s off in the fridge, if bills are piling up unopened, if someone’s struggling more than usual with buttons or zips. These observations help us spot early when someone might need a bit more support, and we keep families informed so everyone stays on the same page about how things are going.
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.

C E shared on homecare.co.uk how important the care app was for staying connected to what was happening day-to-day, explaining that “the App notes for every visit ensure I get an accurate picture of how Dad is feeling every day as well as knowing that all his needs are being met.” Joy W praised the flexibility of the service, noting that carers “will do anything else required such as changing bed linen, taking the rubbish out and sometimes vacuuming,” adding that she would “certainly recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for kind and compassionate care.” That willingness to help with whatever’s needed, combined with genuine kindness, is what turns practical support into something families feel grateful for.
