About Home Instead
We provide care in people's own homes in Northwich and the surrounding part of Cheshire. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We mention it and then get on with the work, because a rating describes what a team has already done and says nothing about tomorrow morning. The people we visit include older people, those living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and younger adults whose care sits alongside work, study and family life. Before anything begins we come out and talk. We look at how a day already runs, what somebody genuinely wants help with and what they would rather carry on doing for themselves. Independence handed over unnecessarily is very hard to get back, and a good plan protects it. After that it is about continuity. Sending the same carers to the same households is how trust forms, and trust is why a worry gets mentioned early rather than after it has become urgent. It is also how somebody notices that a person has eaten less this week or seems less steady on their feet. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss support at home.
