About Home Instead
Home Instead Wirral provides care at home to adults across the Wirral, from our base in Prenton. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. What lies behind that is fairly unglamorous: carers who stay long enough to know the people they visit, visits long enough to do the job without rushing, and a willingness to hear plainly when something is not right so that it can be put right. We support older people who want to carry on living in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults who need support to live independently. The work covers personal care, prompting and support with medication, meals, laundry, shopping and help to get out to appointments or simply out for company. For some people the most valuable part of a visit is not a task at all. For people living with dementia, continuity is everything. Being met by a familiar face at a familiar time does more to keep somebody settled than anything else we could offer, and the familiar carer is also the one who notices when something has changed. Please get in touch if you are looking into support at home on the Wirral.
