About Home Instead

We are Home Instead in Southport, a home care agency supporting people in their own homes across Southport and the surrounding part of Sefton. Our work is for people who need help with daily life but have no wish to leave a home they have spent years making their own. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people who have a learning disability, autistic people, people with mental health needs, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. A visit may involve personal care, support with medication, preparing meals, help with mobility and moving safely about the home, household tasks and shopping, companionship, or support to get out to appointments and to see people. We plan care with the person rather than for them. We ask about the preferences that are easy to overlook, such as what time someone likes to wake, how they take their tea and what they would far rather do for themselves. The plan is written down, followed and reviewed as needs change. Keeping the same carers with the same clients is a priority, and it matters most for people living with dementia, where a familiar face at the door is worth more than any explanation. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The better measure is what our clients and their families tell us directly.
