About
Home Instead Senior Care is a home care agency that provides support in people's own homes, with a particular focus on dementia. It supports people aged 65 and over, adults under 65, and people with physical disabilities or sensory impairments. The agency's office is in Chelmsford, Essex. It says it matches each carer with the person they support according to skills, interests and personality, so that support is tailored to the individual.
Services range from a few hours of companionship to more specialist, intensive care or round-the-clock help, with visits arranged around the client's own schedule. The agency says it guides clients through each step at their own pace and sets out its pricing from the outset. The Care Quality Commission rates Home Instead Senior Care as Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. This rating was published in 2019.
