Why Day Care may be right for you
As we get older, we can suffer from decreased mobility, social isolation, and loneliness. If you’ve recently noticed a marked difference in Mum or Dad’s demeanour and general health, day care services could be a great option.
Beyond the practicality of home care support, day care can provide companionship from a trusted care professional who can help build a more engaged and active lifestyle.
At Home Instead, we can also provide day care for people living with dementia, Parkinson’s, cancer, and more. Our careful care pro and client matching will help you transform Mum and Dad’s outlook and wellness.
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.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.

Tailored Day Care in Watford
Every single Watford Home Instead client gets a tailored day care plan. That starts with the services you receive and the care team we put in place. And we do this because every one of you is unique. You have a unique family situation, unique hobbies and interests, and a unique set of health challenges, whether that’s high cholesterol or something else.
For example, our client Harvey requires a ‘cooking call’ once a day, where we help prepare and cook fresh Kosher meals as per Harvey’s religion. A different client may benefit from a more ‘social’ call with fun craft activities that get them moving and thinking. Another may need help managing their day-to-day while their family are at work.
Whatever your needs, we can make that happen.

FAQs
What are the benefits of day care for the elderly care?
Elderly day care has two tangible benefits:
- Assistance with household chores or personal care, which can become more challenging as we age
- Social interaction and environmental engagement.
Both of these are crucial for a sense of self, whether that’s how we feel about ourselves, how we feel about the world around us or how we feel others think of us.
We take that very seriously here at Home Instead. We want every senior to feel seen, heard and respected.
Is Home Instead day care just for seniors? Can day care help those with disabilities?
We provide day care to any adult in Watford who needs short-term or long-term support, regardless of age. We also fully support those with impairments and disabilities.
Most of our literature is based on ‘senior’ care because that is usually our larger demographic.
How much does day care cost? And is it free on the NHS?
Daycare can be eligible for funding from the local council or NHS continuing healthcare (CHC). However, because social care is underfunded and under-resourced, full or partial services may not always be available. To find out more, we suggest contacting your local authorities for advice.
Home instead provides private day carers (which can be partly paid by local authority payments). You do not need a GP or hospital referral to work with us. All you need to do is call us on 01923 250513.
Costs do vary depending on the services you need and the time you require us to cover. However, a few hours of companionship every few weeks can start at £150 to give you a guide. Call us, and our team will help you work everything out.
How quickly can you get someone into day care?
At Home Instead, we can have day care services in place within a few days of a home visit in most instances.
