Give the Gift of Comfort and Care When It’s Needed Most
Peace of Mind Through Personalised, Professional Home Care
individual deserves to live with dignity, independence, and comfort. Whether your loved one is managing a dementia diagnosis, recovering from illness, or simply needs help with day-to-day tasks, our Care Experts are here to provide truly personalised care in the most reassuring place possible, their familiar surroundings.
We understand how vital it is to give the gift of comfort and care, especially when life brings unexpected challenges. From assistance with personal care to 24/7 Live-in Care, our mission is to help your loved one feel supported, secure, and cared for at home.
Why Choose Home Instead?
Compassionate Care Tailored to Individual Needs
Our team of professional carers provides bespoke support plans, carefully created following a thorough care needs assessment. We adapt our services to suit changing requirements and personal preferences, ensuring care is always centred around the individual.
We specialise in a broad range of care options, including:
- Home Care visits for help with medication, mealtimes, and companionship
- Full-time Live-in Care for around-the-clock peace of mind
- Respite care to allow family members to rest and recharge
- Condition-led care, such as tailored support for those living with vascular dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, or frontotemporal dementia
Our care plans are designed to evolve with your loved one’s needs, offering both responsive support and continuity of care.
The Importance of Familiar Surroundings
For individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, mixed dementia, or any form of cognitive decline, remaining in a familiar environment can be key to preserving memory, reducing confusion, and preventing distress. Transitioning into a care home or moving into an unfamiliar environment can exacerbate symptoms of memory loss and lead to increased hospital admissions.
That’s why care at home is often the most comforting and effective solution. We bring expertise, compassion, and reliability straight to your doorstep, so your loved one doesn’t need to adjust to new routines or surroundings.
