Let’s work together to:

September is World Alzheimer’s Month, an international campaign to combat stigma and raise awareness, so that everyone knows the signs and symptoms of dementia and how to get support when they need it.
This month and always, we’re raising awareness and understanding of dementia and showing that it will take a society to beat dementia. We’re also introducing our new look and feel for Dementia Friends, but our core mission of raising awareness and changing attitudes to dementia remains the same.
Keep an eye on our social media during September as we'll be sharing more information about how you can show your support this .

From memory loss and confusion to mood changes, early recognition helps families take
action and access the right support.
We know families have lots of questions when it comes to dementia. That’s why our YouTube
channel is full of advice.
From memory changes to caring tips, it’s packed with real answers from Care Professionals,
families and experts.

Welcome to Home Instead Senior Care Blackpool and Wyre!
Our Director, Tara McPhee, set up the office in 2014 after caring for her father who suffered from dementia for many years. Whilst caring for her father Tara found it difficult to find any good quality Home Care services in the area.
Born and bred in Blackpool, Tara felt that the Home Instead ethos of 'Changing the face of ageing' by providing good quality personalised care would allow her to genuinely improve the quality of people's lives in the area.
Tara is assisted in our offices in Bispham by a team who have a wealth of experience across many aspects of the care sector. This experience helps them personally match CAREGivers with each client and understand each client as an individual.
Our flexible and responsive service is tailored to the times that suit our clients and can be anything from one hour to 24 hours a day. We can assist on a regular basis or as a one off and we are available 7 days a week, including Bank Holidays.
We focus on building relationships with our clients and their families and understand the importance of supporting their social and emotional needs.
All our CAREGivers are local people, directly employed by us after undergoing a stringent selection process. Enhanced DRB checks are carried out, six references are provided and checked and a thorough induction and training programme is undertaken.
We know our clients enjoy seeing a trusted and familiar face, rather than a different person every day, and for this reason we match our clients with our CAREGivers so that a fulfilling relationship can develop. We always introduce the CAREGiver to the client so they never have a stranger arriving at their home to provide care.
Home Instead Senior Care is committed to providing a consistently high quality service that focuses entirely on the client and their individual needs. We treat our clients with respect and dignity and aim to enhance their lives by providing the appropriate level of care and support whenever it is needed.From a few hours a day, up to 24 hours 7 days a week we provide a full care service to match the needs of the individual — see our link below:
