Home Care in Leamington Spa

We know that great care goes far beyond scheduled visits, and that is why we are committed to making sure that you and your family have all the support and resources needed to live well in the local community.

Connecting You with Expert Help

For instance, our dedicated team does not just provide care; we also offer practical and emotional support, and we can assist with essential activities of daily living and offer medication reminders.

But we also focus on life outside the home, supporting you with attendance at appointments or social activities.

Then, for that added peace of mind, we can also offer flexible services, including off-peak companionship support and trusted overnight carers.

Support for Specialised Needs

If you or a loved one is living with a specialist condition, our team provides personalised dementia care and Parkinson’s care.

We are proud to work closely with leading charities and local groups, and we provide essential signposting to expert organisations such as the Alzheimer’s Society to connect you with things like local memory cafés, excellent online courses, and free advice for family carers.

Respite for Family Carers

If you are a family member providing care, we understand the need for a break, our respite care services are then here to step in so you can recharge, knowing your loved one is in safe, professional hands.

Our local team is our greatest strength, and we set exceptionally high standards for who becomes a Home Instead Care Professional.

So when you choose us, you are choosing compassionate and highly qualified local experts.

Recruitment and Training Excellence

We use a rigorous recruitment process to select only the kindest, most reliable people. For instance, every member of our team completes enhanced DBS checks (Disclosure and Barring Service) before they start work.

Once they join us, our Care Professionals receive award-winning training through our exclusive academy. We ensure continuous training is standard, covering everything from delivering sensitive personal care to safe medication administration.

Specialised Skills and Quality

We also make sure our team is equipped to handle complex needs, including extensive specialised training in Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia support.

Then we also train them in sensitive areas like palliative care, providing expert care when it matters most.

Our Care Professionals are never alone – they benefit from ongoing mentoring from senior staff and regular, in-depth quality checks to ensure our service consistently meets the highest standard of care in Royal Leamington Spa.

We offer two main types of care, and the cost for each depends on your specific care requirements and regional factors in the Royal Leamington Spa area:

Hourly Care Services

This covers regular short visits and provides flexibility for tasks like companionship and errands.

Live-in Care

This provides 24-hour peace of mind for clients needing constant support.

The cost is based entirely on the level of specialist support needed. We will then provide you with a detailed breakdown of all charges, ensuring there are no surprise additional costs. You can use our online cost calculator or contact us directly for an accurate, tailored quotation.

Funding and Financial Support

You do not have to navigate the financial aspects of care alone, either, and we can signpost you to information about available support options:

Local Authority Contribution

After a financial assessment (or ‘means-test’) from the local council, you may be eligible for financial help towards the cost of your care. The local authority will determine your eligibility and the amount they can contribute.

Attendance Allowance

This is a non-means-tested, tax-free benefit for people over State Pension age who need help with personal care or supervision. It can be used to help pay for our services.

NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC)

If your primary needs are health-related, you may be eligible for fully-funded care from the NHS, regardless of your savings or income, which is a key area we can guide you on.

Starting home care is a big decision and we understand that, and it’s natural to have questions. We aim to make the process simple, clear, and reassuring from the very first call.

Getting Started and Planning Care

The first step is a free, no-obligation care consultation.

This is where we listen to you and your family, understand your lifestyle, and discuss what support you need, whether it’s routine housekeeping, personal assistance, or specialist care like condition-led care for Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.

We cover all types of support:

• Personal Care (help with washing, dressing, and grooming)

  Companion Care (help with errands, appointments, and social activities)

• Help with medication and overnight help
• Respite Care (planned breaks for family carers)

Ongoing Support and Review

Your dedicated care team is then matched to your personality and needs and we focus on consistency and building strong, trusting relationships.

To ensure the care is always right, we conduct regular formal review meetings with you and your family. We also carry out discreet spot checks to maintain the very high quality of service our Care Professionals deliver.

We encourage open communication every step of the way.

Starting home care should be a simple and reassuring process.

For instance, we have designed our approach to be stress-free, ensuring we understand your care needs and match you with the perfect support right here in Royal Leamington Spa.

Step 1 – The Initial Consultation

The first step is a free, no-obligation chat – your initial consultation.

You can call us or enquire online and we will discuss your personal circumstances and explore the various care options available, whether that’s regular domiciliary care, full-time live-in care, or temporary respite care.

Step 2 – The Free Home Visit and Care Assessment

Next, our dedicated care manager will arrange a free home visit at a time that suits you.

During this visit, we conduct a comprehensive care assessment which will help us understand exactly what help is required and how we can best support you in your home.

Step 3 – Creating Your Personal Care Plan

Using all the information gathered, we work with you to create a detailed, tailor-made care plan.

This document is the blueprint for your support, outlining every aspect of the service and the goals we want to achieve together.

Step 4 – Introducing Your Care Team

Once the plan is agreed upon, we carefully select and introduce your local care team.

We focus on matching personalities and interests, making sure that you build a great relationship with the people who will be supporting you every day.

Care can then begin at a time that works for you.

Trust and quality are fundamental to choosing home care, and we are a dedicated local team, committed to ensuring our standards of care always exceed national standards and deliver peace of mind to you and your family.

Regulatory Oversight – The CQC

We are a CQC-regulated provider and fully comply with the rules set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator for health and social care in England.

The CQC conducts thorough CQC inspection visits to assess how we run the service.

We are proud that our local office (Home Instead Warwick and Stratford) has received a CQC rating of Good overall in its latest full inspection, demonstrating we are safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led.

As regulated providers, we deliver both regulated care (like personal care) and non-regulated care (like companionship). All our services, regardless of type, are delivered to the same high ethical and professional standards.
