Have you noticed a loved one becoming more withdrawn? Are they expressing excessive worry about everyday tasks? These can be indicators that they need more than just practical help.

Our Care Professionals are matched with your loved one, so that they develop a deeper understanding of them as a person. They provide vital companionship, which helps foster positive mental and physical wellbeing, helping reduce stress and anxiety.

Understanding the root causes of anxiety in older adults is crucial. It might be the fear of falling, concerns about health, or simply the overwhelming feeling of being alone. At Home Instead, our approach is holistic, addressing not just physical needs, but emotional ones too. We believe in creating a supportive environment where your loved ones feel safe and understood. Don’t dismiss those quiet moments of worry; they might be a cry for help.
