About Home Instead and Selby
We at Home Instead Castleford and Selby are proud to offer compassionate home care across Castleford and the surrounding communities, supporting older people, younger adults, and those living with dementia to remain safely and comfortably in the place they know best: their own home. Based in the WF postcode area within Wakefield, our team covers Castleford, Selby, and the neighbouring villages and towns across this part of Yorkshire and Humberside. Rather than asking families to travel to a residential setting, we bring thoughtful, personalised support directly to your loved one's front door, allowing them to continue enjoying familiar surroundings, cherished routines, and the little comforts that make a house feel like home. Our care is shaped around the individual. For older people, this may mean gentle companionship, help with personal care, medication reminders, or support with the tasks of daily living that have become more challenging over time. For families navigating a dementia diagnosis, our approach is patient, respectful, and consistent, providing the kind of familiar, trusted presence that can bring genuine reassurance to someone whose world may feel increasingly uncertain. We also support younger adults who may be living with disability, illness, or other conditions that mean a little help at home makes all the difference to independence and wellbeing. In practice, this means we take the time to truly understand each person we support: their history, their preferences, their favourite cup of tea, and the routines that matter to them. Care visits are planned around real needs and real lives, and we work closely with families to ensure everyone feels informed, involved, and confident in the support being provided. As a newer registration with the Care Quality Commission, Home Instead Castleford and Selby is currently listed as Not Yet Rated. This simply means an initial inspection has not yet taken place, and we welcome the opportunity to demonstrate the standard of care we deliver as our journey with the regulator progresses. In the meantime, we remain fully committed to the values of dignity, kindness, and person centred support that sit at the heart of everything we do. Choosing home care for someone you love is a significant decision, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring options for a parent, partner, relative, or friend in Castleford, Selby, or the wider Wakefield area, we would be delighted to talk with you, answer your questions, and help you find the right way forward. Please reach out whenever you feel ready; we are here to listen.
