We don’t believe in rushed care here at Home Instead Blackpool.
While many providers are in and out in minutes, our visits are always a minimum of one hour.
Quality care takes time — time to listen, to chat, to share a story over a cup of tea, or even enjoy a gentle stroll through Stanley Park.
For us, it’s never just about completing tasks.
It’s about building genuine relationships and giving each person the support they deserve.
To learn more about our relationship‑led, unrushed approach, call our local team on 01253 200770

When a loved one with dementia calls you 10times in a row…
It’s not manipulation.
It’s not control.
It’s not because you “spoiled” them.
Dementia affects short-term memory and the brain’s ability to manage anxiety.
If they can’t remember you just spoke…
If they don’t know when you’re coming back…
If they suddenly feel unsure or unsafe…
Calling again feels like relief.
The goal isn’t to stop the calls.
It’s to reduce the fear behind them.
What can help:
• A predictable daily call time
“I’ll call you every evening at 7.” Consistency reduces uncertainty.
• A written reassurance note they can see
“We spoke at 3PM. Next call is at 7PM.”
It gives their brain something steady to hold onto.
• Short, calm reminders
Keep it brief and soothing: “I’m safe. You’re safe. I’ll call tonight.”
Long explanations can sometimes add to confusion.
• More gentle structure during the day
Regular meals, favourite TV shows, simple activities, or small routines can lower anxiety that builds during unstructured time.
• Simple reminder technology if needed
Reminder clocks, recorded reassurance messages, or auto-answer features can help reinforce comfort between calls.
And if the calling suddenly increases or anxiety feels extreme, it’s worth checking with their doctor to rule out pain, medication changes, or infection.
You’re not failing.
You’re responding to a brain that’s changing.
And that’s not easy. 💚

Stories like this mean everything to our team 💚
After a prolonged hospital stay following a stroke, this lovely gentleman’s goal was simple — to return home and avoid moving into a nursing home.
We’re so proud to have supported him on that journey and to have helped make staying at home possible.
Hearing that he loves his carers and that they “make the world of difference” reminds us why we do what we do every day - supporting families across Blackpool and Cleveleys with compassionate, relationship-led care at home.
If you’re exploring care options for a loved one and want to understand what support at home could look like, we’re always here for a friendly conversation.

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:
