We do things differently at Home Instead because we believe meaningful relationships can’t be rushed. Our visits always last at least an hour, giving time for proper conversations and activities you enjoy. You won’t see our Care Professionals in uniforms either – it feels more like welcoming a friend than a care worker. This relaxed approach, combined with longer visits, means we really get to know you and can spot any little changes in mood or wellbeing early on. It’s about caring for the whole person, not just ticking tasks off a list.
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.

With an excellent review rating on homecare.co.uk, our local team’s commitment to going the extra mile shines through. For one client, companionship care includes a walk in Brockhill Country Park or working on a jigsaw at home. Another client enjoyed an outing to Brook Agricultural Museum, to reminisce about local history. As one family shared: “The manager who visited us was lovely, understanding, and efficient. The carer companion is a perfect ‘fit.’ Both myself and my husband feel safe and comfortable with her. Well done Home Instead.” This personal approach, backed by our Folkestone office team means clients feel cared for and families reassured.
