About Home Instead, Lambeth & Dulwich
Home Instead Wandsworth, Lambeth and Dulwich supports people in their own homes across this part of south London. We work with older people, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. Our visits tend to be longer than is usual in this work, and that is deliberate. A great deal of what makes care at home valuable cannot be done in fifteen minutes. Sitting down with somebody. Noticing that they have eaten less this week. Having the conversation that leads to a problem being dealt with early rather than in an emergency. We would rather do fewer, better visits than more rushed ones. We match carers to people with some care, taking account of temperament and interests as well as the practical help required, and we keep those pairings steady. Being helped to wash and dress is a close thing to allow, and familiarity makes it far easier. Where a change is unavoidable, we introduce the new carer properly instead of simply sending them. With dementia we pay close attention to timing, routine and familiarity, and we work with families rather than around them, including when the honest conversation is a difficult one. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We are glad of it, and we take it mainly as a sign that the ordinary things are being done consistently.
