Why Personal Care may be right for you
Building trust takes time, which is why we match clients with the same Care Professional or small consistent team who get to know exactly how someone likes things done. R T wrote on homecare.co.uk about how her carer “has given me the confidence to let her help me with personal care and having trust in her,” showing how important that familiarity becomes. Our minimum one-hour visits mean there’s never any clock-watching or rushing – just time to support someone properly, whether that’s helping with a morning routine, assisting with a shower, or providing evening care before bed. This unhurried approach allows your loved one to maintain as much independence as possible while receiving the help they need.
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.

We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep

Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation

The service offered is caring compassionate and flexible. The needs of clients are always a primary consideration. A regular inspection of services informs ongoing improvements in delivery. My parents were able to remain in their home in part as a result of this provision. Thank youNO- Son of a client
The lovely carers at Home Instead have been visiting our Mum since 2019. They have called in twice a day to provide help, companionship and prepare breakfast/lunch for our Mum. Thank you to the team for their professionalism, kindness and support during this time. Excellent job!HL- Daughter of a client
In a challenging environment, the care provided is exactly what we need and my father is really appreciating the relationship he has developed with the care team. There is also a degree of flexibility in the service offered which is very much appreciated.SW- Son of a client
Tailored Personal Care in Wakefield
What stands out in the feedback we receive is how personal care is delivered with genuine warmth and understanding. Lisa D, whose mum has Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Dementia, explained that “with Mum’s medical condition and lack of speed and agility, we need not to be against the clock,” praising how “the team have restored my faith in care” and that “the caregivers themselves we have had are nothing but kind helpful and respectful.” Jean J, who initially needed personal care for her husband with dementia and now receives it herself, described how “all were caring and professional” and that she “wouldn’t want a stranger coming into my home” – which is why Home Instead ensures she only sees familiar faces she knows and trusts.
