Award-winning Home Care in Watford

When You Need Senior Home Care in Watford, That is as Unique as You Are
Senior home care should be a personalised service, and in our mind, we won’t settle for anything less. What works for your Mum and Dad is unique to their way of life and their needs. That’s why we do things a little differently here at Home Instead.
Our team of Care Pro’s reflect the diversity of our wider Watford community, allowing us to support many clients, speaking languages ranging from French to Arabic or cooking for dietary or faith requirements (from gluten-free to Kosher).
So, if you need a home care company with expert care professionals who can speak Farsi with Mum or know how to bring Dad out of his shell with hobbies like gardening, we’d love to help. We have a diverse mix of care pros trained and ready to go.
Why Choose Home Instead For Home Care in Watford
Our friendly home care focuses on five key things:
- Promoting independence through services that enhance mobility and self-sufficiency (and heavily assist where needed)
- Encouraging physical exercise with at-home activities and physiotherapy
- Ensuring excellence in nutrition with balanced meals
- Reducing falls and health issues with prevention plans and monitoring
- Providing social connections through careful matching and community participation (including language, faith, and culture focus where needed)
And we can provide as little or as much help as you need, from weekly check-ins to 24-hour live-in care.
“I used Home Instead Senior Care after my mother had surgery to support her in food preparation, companionship and personal care. It was a bit of a special situation as my mother needed someone who could communicate with her in Azeri. Mahdi could not have been more accommodating as he understood the special situation and ensured that the one Azeri carer was made available.
The caregiver, Zahra, is very friendly and got on brilliantly with Mum. Mahdi keeps me up to date with things and I could only highly recommend him and his team for anyone who is looking for personalised care.”

Meet Some Of Our Watford Home Care Team
Meet a few of our experienced Watford home care professionals.
Meet Lauren
Lauren is one of our business development managers who started as a care pro. She has seen every side of care, from home help to overseeing care pros as a live-in care manager and now the broader parts of our business.
“I found Home Instead when I was looking for something flexible that would work around my children. With no previous experience in care, I was apprehensive to start with, but I was given all the friendly support and training I needed, and my confidence grew and grew. And the clients are so lovely. I looked forward to seeing them every day and being part of their care journey.
It was a no-brainer when I had the opportunity to progress into the office. Every day is fast-paced and different, and I’m really enjoying the variety of the job and all the opportunities to help our clients from a different perspective.”
Meet Bernadine
Bernadine (Bee) moved to the UK from South Africa in 2015, having worked extensively on her family’s elephant rehabilitation project, which included safari lodges. Moving in with her brother, she started looking for a new way of living. Sadly, tragedy struck, and just before COVID, Bee’s brother was diagnosed with cancer. Bee became his full-time carer.
Having always admired care professionals, it was only when her brother told her that of all his siblings, he thought she was the most empathetic and sympathetic for this kind of work that Bee finally felt encouraged to apply and start working in the care sector. That’s when she found Home Instead.
“The job (being a Care Professional) has taught me so much. How to have more humility and the power of being humbled. But it has also given me my smile back.
I provide domiciliary care, personal care and palliative care. What I love most about that work is the diversity of the seniors I care for. Their life experiences are rich and varied.
At Home Instead, I get an opportunity to spend time with clients and make what I do about putting their needs first. I also get to work locally, which gives me plenty of time in between clients to visit my brother.”
Can Home Instead Home Care Support Couples? And Pets?
Yes! We are always happy to support couples through their golden years. While each type of support will require a different team, we can manage both effectively, helping you ensure Mum and Dad’s happiness and health.
We are also happy to support homes with pets.
Can Home Instead Home Care Accommodate Faith?
Absolutely. We pride ourselves on offering care services that wrap around your loved ones, giving them the support they need to live independently as they always have.
We can offer help to pray if they need it. If they wish to observe a religious holiday (for example, Hanukkah or Diwali), our carers can assist where needed. If they have preferences or customs around food or people in their home we are happy to oblige.
Will You Be Updated on Mum and Dad’s Care?
Always. We have very clear communication guides for our teams, giving you access to real-time information on how Mum and Dad are doing. You will also have a dedicated care manager overseeing care provision.
And we welcome your input. For us, the best home care is where care feels like home to your loved one.
How Much Does Home Care in Watford Cost? And Can You Get Funding?
Hertfordshire County Council can assist you with any claims for adult care costs. Their system is means-tested, and benefits may only cover partial care costs. They should be able to provide you with clear eligibility guidelines.
The cost of home care depends on the complexity of your needs. However, if you need help with household chores, transport to doctor’s appointments, shopping, or outings for just a few hours every few weeks, home care can cost as little as £150 a month.
