Why Personal Care may be right for you
You’ll see the same Care Professional at each visit, helping you feel comfortable and understood. Whether it’s help getting ready in the morning, support with bathing, or assistance choosing clothes, we adapt to your preferences and routines. Our care includes practical support like helping with personal hygiene and medications, but it’s the way we deliver it that makes the difference – always respectful, always focusing on what you can do while supporting what you can’t.
What we do to care for your loved ones
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.

My Godfather, had a couple of falls, went into hospital and was discharged into a care home. He wanted to return home. I contacted Home Instead and their managing director and her deputy took charge, and he came home under their care last October, aged 92. They dealt with the GP and pharmacy etc. which took the pressure off me as I was not geographically close. When he needed care at night, they put that in place. The deputy manager was always contactable and they kept me appropriately informed. Their carers were kind and compassionate. My godfather achieved his aim of living out his final days at home. Not cheap, and there probably are cheaper agencies – but I was let down by one, and wanted the agency to take responsibility, as I was not close by, which they did.

I would like to commend one particular member of staff for her outstanding attention to detail tonight regarding my misunderstanding of my mother’s morning medication. I was wrong. The carer was absolutely right. She is a superlative carer and my mother is extremely fond of her. A credit to Home Instead.
Jane R
I have been a client of Home Instead for eight years now. The service I receive is above excellent. My carers always go the extra mile. I get up and go to bed smiling! I like the fact my carers dont wear uniforms and don’t treat me like just a client.

For a few years now we have used Home Instead (Guildford and Woking) for companion visits to my son. They have always acted with utmost professionalism and compassion and have ensured that there’s continuity of care. This is so important to build a rapport between the client and carer and my son considers his carer as a friend. I know that they always have my son’s best interest at heart and this is so reassuring. I would recommend them without any hesitation.

I cannot recommend Home Instead highly enough. They came to look after my mother aged 96. She is now 101 and built up a great relationship with staff so she thinks of the carers as her friends whilst still dealing with the most personal care. The team are charming fun efficient and helpful. They are such a fabulous team and they have adjusted their care as my mother’s needs have changed,
They got her the equipment she needed the next day. They are lovely to have around and trustworthy. They know their tasks and keep calm in any situation.
They are simply life changing for both me and my mum.Joanna D
