Choosing Home Instead Standish for personalised home care

Although Standish is regularly served by bus routes into and out of central Wigan, with the 632 and 111 taking generally less than twenty minutes to get into town, older people can sometimes lose confidence in getting out and about, especially on their own. Home Instead’s home care helps ageing adults stay connected to their community and continue enjoying the activities they love. This is particularly valuable for clients facing challenges with mobility or frailty but who still feel young at heart. By preserving their treasured routines and hobbies, we enable them to maintain meaningful relationships and remain an active part of their local community. “I have used Home Instead for the past 6 months to help my mum, at first it was companionship but quickly moving on to personal care. I found Jade to be professional, caring and reactive to our needs. The office staff are friendly and efficient. I’d like to thank Letittia for being so good at her job that mum never realised that she was a care giver, truly believing that she was a family friend. Care givers turned up every time on time, I would highly recommend them.” - Jayne, daughter of client
