About Home Instead

Home Instead Wakefield supports people in their own homes in Ossett and across the Wakefield area. We work with older people, people living with dementia and younger adults. Home care should fit around a life that already exists rather than rearrange it. We begin by asking how the day usually runs, what has become difficult and what somebody can still do perfectly well and would rather keep doing. People are often very specific about that, and getting it right at the start is what makes support feel like help rather than an intrusion. Visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals, help around the house and getting out to appointments or into town. For some people we also provide longer periods of company, which matters more than it is sometimes given credit for. Continuity of carer is central to how we work rather than a nice extra. A familiar face who knows the house, the routine and the person makes a visit work in a way nobody new can, and that is most true where dementia is involved. We also keep timings steady, because a call that drifts can throw a whole day. We keep families informed where the person wants that, and we raise concerns early rather than waiting for a review. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
