About Home Instead

Home Instead North Tyneside is a home care agency in North Shields, supporting people in their own homes across North Tyneside. We work with older people and younger adults, including many people living with dementia. Everybody we meet at a first visit says more or less the same thing: they would like to stay where they are. Making that realistic, for as long as it is safe and genuinely the better option, is the whole of our purpose. The work is practical. Help with washing and dressing. Medication managed and recorded carefully. Meals cooked rather than opened. Help to move safely about a house that may no longer suit its occupant. A dependable person turning up in a week that might otherwise be empty. And a real break for families who have been carrying it alone. Dementia asks something particular of a carer. You cannot hurry it and you cannot reason somebody out of the world they are in. What works is familiarity, a calm voice, and knowing a person's history well enough to find a way in. That is why we are stubborn about sending the same small group of carers rather than whoever happens to be free. We also treat the conversation as part of the visit rather than an interruption to the tasks, because isolation does as much damage as anything medical. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Ring us and ask whatever you need to know.
