About Home Instead
We are Home Instead Basingstoke, and we provide care in people's own homes across Basingstoke and the surrounding parts of Hampshire. We support older people, including a great many living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Our starting point is that home is worth holding on to. The familiar layout, the usual routine, the freedom to please yourself about when to get up and what to have for tea: these are not small comforts, and with the right support most people can keep them for far longer than they expect. Every arrangement starts with a conversation in the person's own home, covering what already works, what has become difficult, and what would actually help. Visits are set around that, whether that means half an hour in the morning, several calls a day, or longer companionship visits for somebody who is isolated or whose relative needs time away. We match carers thoughtfully and keep them with the same households, because the relationship is what makes this work. For people living with dementia in particular, a familiar face at the door does more good than any technique. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are just beginning to look into care for a parent or partner, do ring us. We are happy to talk with no commitment at all.
