Home Instead: Premium, Relationship-Led Care for a Better Life at Home

At Home Instead, we believe that growing older shouldn’t mean giving up the comfort and independence of home. Our premium, relationship-led care service is designed to help older people live well in familiar surroundings—whether that means sharing a cup of tea and a chat, enjoying outings, or receiving more specialized support such as dementia care or help with daily tasks like washing and dressing.

More Than Just Care—A Commitment to Quality

What sets Home Instead apart is the depth of care beyond the time spent in a client’s home. We don’t just provide an hour of service; we build lasting relationships. This begins with our approach to recruitment—we don’t simply fill roles, we find people who are truly suited to caregiving, who value the work they do, and who are committed to staying with us long-term. This allows us to invest in their training and development, ensuring the highest quality of care.

Truly Personalised Support

Through our Care Solutions approach, we go beyond basic care by offering unhurried visits of at least an hour. Our Caregivers take the time to truly know and understand each client—their needs, their preferences, and what makes them feel happy and secure. This personalised approach means our clients receive not only the practical help and personal care they need but also companionship, emotional support, and a sense of continuity in their daily lives.

With Home Instead, care isn’t just a service—it’s a relationship built on trust, compassion, and a genuine desire to enhance the lives of older people in their own homes.

“I simply cannot speak highly enough of every aspect of the Home Instead service in Fowey
Every caregiver gave a fantastic service and made my parents feel safe, comfortable and like friends.
The support team in Par were super efficient, friendly to deal with and helpful at all times.
My whole family has felt like they could trust the care given and also mix in a positive way with caregivers when we were in my parent’s home. This was so important to us.
I can’t thank everyone concerned enough. They all very much went that extra mile on a regular basis.”

Training, Coordination and Care Planning

Training and Development

The extra training and development we do, can be from practical care tasks such as administering eye drops or using a piece of equipment to help with moving and positioning to

Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care At Home | Home Instead or Palliative care and support.

We introduce each Caregiver to the people they are looking after and make extensive use of shadow visits, where they work alongside someone experienced with the particular person. This can be to build skills and confidence or where a care routine was more involved.

Coordination with the Office Care Team

Helping coordinate managing these often small issues is essential for a person to be well supported at home. There is so much more to Home Instead than just task based care and rushing onto the next client.

The office care team in Par Moor, St Austell and Wadebridge help coordinate between the Caregivers, the person we are looking after, their families and other care professionals. Medications may need reordering, or shopping managed or there may be an issue with the property. Care professionals know their clients and can spot changes in wellbeing and report these changes to the office who liaise with other health care professionals. These could be a sign of infections, or potential pressure area risks or a need for more care to be organised.

In the Mid Cornwall office, we schedule and pay for 15 minute gaps (or more if needed) between visits so a caregiver has plenty of time to travel without cutting the visit short or rushing. On the North Coast area around Wadebridge covering places such as St Issey, Trevone, St Merryn and St Kew more time may be needed.

“The St Austell branch of Home Instead have been looking after my mum in Tywardreath since November 2020. They have been incredibly helpful, professional and pro-active. Mum has some memory problems and knowing that someone has been in to see her every day for a chat and to check that she is OK, eating regularly and keeping warm enough has been a great relief. Home Instead were able to take her to her COVID vaccination appointments and have kept us up to speed with any potential issues. I would definitely recommend them.”

Strengths Based Care Planning

We plan the care with the person being looked after and their family. We ask “What does a good day look like? ” rather than just focus on frailties and health needs.

With Home Instead in Mid Cornwall, older people can be looked after, and enjoy their lives at home where they want to be. Our Care Solutions are often much better value than the costs of a residential or nursing home and for many people can bring about a better outcome.

Next Steps 

We talk through options on the phone with you and then arrange a care consultation in the home with our Care Manager Claire or one of our Care coordinators. If the person needing help is nervous this can be a chat initially where we reassure and explain what we do. For the full consultation, we build up a holistic picture of the whole person and their wishes and needs. This includes their life so far, daily routine, activities they enjoy and food and drink preferences as well as the health, medical and mobility information needed.
