About Home Instead Senior Care
Home Instead Senior Care Godalming provides care at home to adults in Godalming and the surrounding part of Surrey. The people we work with include older people who need help to stay in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people with a learning disability, autistic adults, 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. Those are very different kinds of support and we do not issue everybody the same package. For older people and people living with dementia, the priority is usually continuity and reliability: the same carers, arriving when they said they would, allowed enough time to do things properly rather than against the clock. For younger adults and people with a learning disability, it is more often about independence. We also think carers need enough time in the house to do the job properly. Care delivered against a stopwatch is not care, and hurrying an older person is both undignified and unsafe. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk about what would help.
