Why Personal Care may be right for you
Our Care Professionals in Wigan support people with personal care needs. A 2021 study found that 20.2% of the Wigan population is disabled with varying limitations, which could include managing personal care. Though requiring personal care is common, it can be difficult to accept, but you should never feel embarrassed to enquire about arranging dignified, respectful care that focuses on your preferences, and is done in a way you feel comfortable with.
We can ensure continuity of care, so you see a familiar face each visit and feel safe with your carers. Similarly, if your loved one requires personal care, our team can offer peace of mind by making sure they are listened to and respected in their home when you are not around.
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.

Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!
Janet, Client's Family
A little message on behalf of me and all my family for the compassionate and amazing care that was provided to my grandad. Although you only cared for him for a short while before he passed, we are all truly thankful for the way my grandad was cared for. Thankyou again… all the carers who attended to him were true stars in our eyes.
Vicky, Client's Family
Please extend my thanks and gratitude to the Home Instead team who were so helpful this week when Mum was unexpectedly admitted to hospital- I was so impressed by the dedication and professionalism of everyone who helped me during my visit. I really felt that Mum was in excellent hands

Tailored Personal Care in Wigan
Socialising can be challenging when personal care and hygiene are compromised due to health conditions such as Alzheimer’s or arthritis. This can negatively impact your ability and desire to meet with friends and family, and as a result, your mental health.
For example, if you suffer from incontinence issues, it is tempting to avoid others and stay at home, but with the help of our Wigan-based Care Professionals, you can maintain a comfortable personal care regime that allows you to continue your usual daily routine. With tailored support, you can take part in the activities you love, and get out and about in Wigan safe in the knowledge that your personal care is effectively managed, with help on hand whenever you need it.
