Why Personal Care may be right for you
Having the same Care Professional each time makes all the difference with personal care. They’re able to know the little details that matter – preferred bathing times, favourite toiletries, how you like to shave, or which clothes your loved one feels most comfortable wearing. Our team understands that personal care isn’t just about practical support – it’s about helping people feel confident and comfortable in their daily routines. Each visit is tailored to individual preferences, moving at a pace that suits your loved one.
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.

We have spent a fabulous morning at Spark Community Space today with some of our amazing volunteers attending a Dementia Awareness session delivered by the lovely Helen Brown of Home Instead Portsmouth.
We now have a far better understanding of what dementia can mean [to the person living with dementia] and their loved ones and how we can help then feel welcomed and safe.

At Home Instead we ensure that each client has a small team of Care Professionals in place to provide you with care so you can be confident that you will have continuity from the same Care Professionals.
At Home Instead, we have a robust approach to ensuring that all Care Professionals have regular observations of practice that we call Support Visits, and assessments of competency for key activities such as handling medication or providing catheter care.
