Why Companionship Care may be right for you

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.
