Home Care - Home Instead

Home Instead York are a family business and who know how difficult it can be to find the right organisation to provide support at home, whether it’s for you, or for a loved one. When Luke Norbury started Home Instead in York in 2009, he spoke to numerous people who had experience of care at home in an effort to identify what were the most important aspects of a home care service. Their regulating body, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has summed these up succinctly in their approach to inspecting services like Home Insteads. Home Instead therefore evaluate everything they do using the CQC’s five themes:

Safe
Effective
Caring
Responsive
Well-Led

Their aim is that these five themes form the foundations that allow clients to build trust in Home Instead and the service they provide. Ultimately they aim to provide a service that they would be happy for their own families to receive and they believe passionately in giving you the confidence to trust them to provide the care or support you need.

The team specialise in providing home care and support for older people and have developed an Alzheimer's and dementia training programme for Care Professionals. As part of the Home Instead franchise network, Care Professional are required to meet standards that exceed the requirements put in place by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). 

These standards cover pre-employment checks, training and service quality assurance - all of which are monitored in-house, Home Instead Senior Care's national office and of course by the CQC.
