We are a family-run office where each client is treated like a member of our own family. Unlike many providers, our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms, which makes the experience feel more relaxed and natural for clients. For individuals with dementia, consistency is key, and we ensure a small, familiar team visits regularly, so clients have the same friendly faces they trust. Our team is trained in advanced care needs – like catheter and stoma care – and we’re regulated by the CQC, ensuring the highest standards of quality and reliability in everything we do.
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.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
Our personal care addresses both basic and complex needs to support independent living. During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss everything from daily routines to health requirements. This allows us to create a detailed Care Plan, which can include assistance with bathing, toileting, mobility support, and meal preparation. For instance, one of our clients, Mr. Johnson, enjoys starting his day with a warm bath, and his Care Professional ensures he is comfortable, safe, and ready to face the day. From helping with dressing to gentle reminders for medication, we’re here to support each client’s unique needs.

Promoting good personal hygiene helps to prevent illness and the spread of infection. It also helps maintain self-confidence and dignity.
A familiar care professional matched with you provides personalised care and support to you in your own home in the way you want it to be provided.
We understand that it can be difficult accepting personal care and that is why you will be introduced to your Care Professionals and they will spend time getting to know you before assisting you with your personal care.
At Home Instead we ensure that each client has a small team of Care Professionals in place to provide you with care so you can be confident that you will have continuity from the same Care Professionals.
At Home Instead, we have a robust approach to ensuring that all Care Professionals have regular observations of practice that we call Support Visits, and assessments of competency for key activities such as handling medication or providing catheter care.
Enable your loved ones to continue to live their life with the support of the Epping Forest team. If you would like more information about our high quality Personal Care service, please call us on 01992 666777, or fill out the form below.
