About Home Instead
Home Instead Portsmouth provides care and companionship to people in their own homes across Portsmouth and the surrounding area. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We work on the basis that good care at home is built on a relationship. Our clients are visited by the same small group of care professionals, matched thoughtfully rather than allocated at random, and visits are long enough to do the job properly and still have a conversation. A carer who knows somebody well will notice the early signs that health is slipping, and will know how to persuade a reluctant person to eat, to walk to the gate or to accept help with a bath. Support ranges from companionship and help around the home through to personal care, medication, meals and assistance getting out to appointments, groups and shops. We also give family carers reliable cover so that they can keep going themselves. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are genuinely proud of that, and we are also clear that it has to be earned again every day in every household we visit. If you are looking into care at home in Portsmouth, please call us and we will talk it through with you.
