The Wigan Day Care team, here to help every step of the way
Day care for older adults at home in Wigan helps those who need general support, company, and health monitoring during the day, or who suffer from loneliness due to health conditions like arthritis, dementia or Parkinson’s. Age UK estimates 1.4 million older people in the UK suffer from loneliness, so our Care Professionals work in areas like Standish, Hindley and Aspull to provide essential care for those who live alone.
Almost 20% of Wigan is aged 65+, and it is common for older people to struggle getting around independently. Day care can give families regular respite while helping to monitor their loved one’s health and care needs, encourage mental stimulation, promote an active lifestyle and facilitate community engagement.

Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!
Janet, Client's Family
A little message on behalf of me and all my family for the compassionate and amazing care that was provided to my grandad. Although you only cared for him for a short while before he passed, we are all truly thankful for the way my grandad was cared for. Thankyou again… all the carers who attended to him were true stars in our eyes.
Vicky, Client's Family
Please extend my thanks and gratitude to the Home Instead team who were so helpful this week when Mum was unexpectedly admitted to hospital- I was so impressed by the dedication and professionalism of everyone who helped me during my visit. I really felt that Mum was in excellent hands
