Hello. We are Home Instead, and we offer compassion-led home care in Church Crookham to the over-50s. Come on in, and let us show you how we can help you.
Choosing home care for Mum and Dad is one of the most challenging decisions you’ll need to make. What do they need? Who is best to provide that? And can Mum and Dad stay together in the home they love? Home Instead Church Crookham is here to help.
We offer a free, no-obligation home visit to help you understand which services you need. We will also meet with Mum and Dad so you can see how we work and, most importantly, how we listen and engage. Crucial for helping them feel like part of the process.
We pick only the best care professionals so you have reliable, carefully matched services, and Mum and Dad get the compassion they deserve throughout their care journey.
“I would like to thank HomeInstead for providing live in care whilst recuperating from an extended stay in hospital, and on returning home, only able to walk a few steps with very little confidence.
I have had live in caregivers for the last nine months and have found them to be very supportive, professional, and helpful in providing for my care at home.
I am entirely satisfied with all the caregivers they have sent and have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone needing care at home.”
– V. Bailey.
We only take on the most compassionate caregivers. Here are just a few of our team members who provide excellent home care daily.
After 24 years spent in the fast-paced world of finance, Julie made the bold decision to leave behind her well-established career and embrace a path driven by passion and purpose.
“Life changed for me when I became the primary caregiver for my Mum and Dad. I discovered a deep satisfaction in helping others and fulfilment in making a tangible difference in their lives. That’s when I knew I needed to switch careers.
The thing that sold Home Instead to me was how lovely every single person in this office was; it was beyond just a hello, everyone was genuinely friendly, and I thought that’s the type of place I’d like to work.
I’ve met some fantastic clients and had lots of fun providing a companionship-led care service.”
Most importantly, we promise to do that with care and kindness.
Church Crookham is a beautiful place to work, and it’s a pleasure to provide home care to those who need it. But for those more vulnerable to loneliness and isolation due to ill fortune and poor mobility, we like to work with community partners to provide assistance.
In recent years, our team has regularly donated food and time to our local food banks and worked with charities to provide assistance. We will continue to give back. And that starts right here on the ground in Church Crookham.
Hampshire County Council provides adult social care for those over 50 in Church Crookham. There may be funding availability. In most cases, it is likely to cover partial home care costs and is eligible only for those who fall into the lower income/savings bands. Of course, there is no reason not to have that conversation, even if you don’t think you’ll likely qualify. Because things change.
Home care costs will vary from person to person. However, if you need a twice-monthly visit for just a few hours, you would spend around £150. This would cover things like household chores and companionship.
Absolutely. We always cater to the individual, so if Mum or Dad have specific dietary, mobility, or medical needs, we can accommodate them. We can also accommodate religious or language needs. And if they have a long-term condition, impairment, or disability, we can accommodate those, too. Just let us know what you need or prefer, and we will match you to a care pro with the right experience. We have a good database of care pros, so we will very likely have someone to help.
We can also offer help for couples or those who wish to stay together under one roof in their later years. While their needs will be different and may require different team members, we can ensure that your care pros meet a collective need.
And we also help with pets!
One thing we instil in our team is the need for effective and clear communication. That means delivering real-time feedback as and when needed. We also have an app, so you can speak to carers or care managers if you need us.
No. Social care is provided by the NHS and your local authority. Provision is based on identified medical needs or hospital referrals. There are waiting lists involved here, so you will need to expect some delay in approval and provision.
At Home Instead, we provide everything a social care provider can with a much more holistic approach, including mental stimulation and emotional well-being support. As private home care providers, we can respond in a much shorter time (just one or two days from consultation), which means you aren’t waiting for departments to share paperwork or referrals to go through.
In most cases, no.
Studies suggest that “home is best” for health and well-being unless they have dependent medical needs. It’s where Mum and Dad feel comfortable and confident, surrounded by friends and family. That goes a long way to maintaining a sense of self and a zest for life.
Home care bridges the gap between those needing help living at home and their medical teams (GPs and hospitals).
