Personal care feels most comfortable when it’s provided by someone you know and trust. That’s why we carefully match each client with Care Professionals who become familiar faces, learning exact preferences – like preferences for a bath or shower, favourite toiletries, or how someone likes their hair styled. This consistent support helps establish comfortable routines, whether it’s assistance with morning routines, help choosing clothes, or support with bedtime preparation. Small details matter enormously when it comes to feeling comfortable and confident.
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of of a unique mix services to meet your needs.

The impact of thoughtful, dignified care resonates in our clients’ words. One family shared on homecare.co.uk: “We used Home Instead to support Dad to live independently at home. They were able to help with preparing meals and providing personal care, and Dad enjoyed the attention he received. Developed a good and trusting relationship with the carer over time.” These genuine connections make personal care feel natural and comfortable, bringing peace of mind to everyone involved.

Our partnerships with local GPs, district nurses, and pharmacists ensure coordinated care, while our involvement with groups like Parkinson’s UK and Multiple Sclerosis helps us share valuable information. We regularly deliver talks on important topics like falls prevention and scams awareness through Age UK Barnet.
