Supporting family carers at Home Instead Bristol East
Discover how Home Instead Bristol East supports family carers locally with expert Care Professionals and a dedicated office team.
Supporting families across the East of Bristol to South Gloucestershire
At Home Instead in Bristol East, our team supports clients from St George and Brislington in the East of Bristol to Hanham, Kingswood and Longwell Green all the way to Keynsham and Saltford.
We understand that caring for an adult family member is rewarding yet can also be challenging. Our locally based team is here to offer not only practical support, but compassionate care that can enrich and add support to the lives of both older or vulnerable adults and their family caregivers.
Skilled and compassionate Care Professionals
Our Care Professionals bring a blend of skill, passion, and commitment to each person we serve, offering tailored care that ranges from help with personal tasks to shared moments of joy. It’s not just the hands-on assistance that makes a difference; it’s also the emotional support, understanding, and companionship that our team provides.
Respite care, take an essential break
Through our Home Instead UK-wide survey, we discovered that 88% of family caregivers neglect their well-being, with 65% struggling with mental health and 31% feeling at the brink of exhaustion. A break is not just beneficial; it’s necessary for family caregivers to take time for themselves, recharge, and continue their caring role with renewed energy and resilience.
We can offer regular home care visits which allow you to take a break,perhaps time to read a book, attend a local group, or even to spend quality time with your loved one without being the carer. We can also offer respite services for family caregivers, to be able to take a longer break, a holiday or for overnight stays.

“Very proactive care agency. Keep family fully informed of care visits to Mum via the app and also direct contact if there are any worries or issues.”
