About Home Instead
We provide care at home in Huntingdon and the surrounding part of Cambridgeshire. The people we support include older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairments. Needs that varied cannot be met from a standard package, so we ask before we plan. For an older person, help often centres on personal care, medication, meals and keeping the house manageable, and often on company as much as anything practical. For a younger adult it is more likely to be about independence: running a home, getting to work or college, handling money and keeping appointments. Where somebody is living with dementia, a familiar and unhurried carer does more good than anything written down. Continuity is what we work hardest at. We try to send the same carers to the same households, because that familiarity is what allows somebody to notice when a person is unwell, in pain or unusually withdrawn, and it spares people from explaining themselves over and over. Our staff are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and have senior colleagues they can reach. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking into care at home, please get in touch for an honest conversation.
