My parents need more help than I can give… but how do we afford it?”

When care becomes necessary, it’s not just an emotional decision — it’s a financial one too.

Many daughters tell us they feel overwhelmed: Where do I even start? What are my options?

💬 That’s why we’ve teamed up with Daniel from Protection & Investment Ltd, a local expert who helps families plan care costs and understand their choices — without the pressure.

🎙️ In our latest podcast episode, Lauren sits down with Daniel to answer the questions so many families have but are afraid to ask. Daniel provides advice in areas where we provide care, including Ascot and Sunningdale.

They cover everything from:
💸 What funding options are available
🏡 Staying at home vs moving into care
🧘 How to stop worrying and start planning

At Home Instead Farnborough, Farnham & Fleet, we believe no one should feel stuck when it comes to care. Our Well-being Packages are designed to give your loved one the support they need — and you the peace of mind you deserve.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Let us help you explore your options, with no pressure — just practical advice and thoughtful care.

When life calls you away (for a holiday, a hospital stay, or simply a well-earned break), short-term live-in care can offer families peace of mind without uprooting loved ones.

Here are three key ways short-term live-in care works:

✅ Keeps couples together – Unlike many residential options, live-in care allows loved ones to stay in their own home, side by side.
✅ One-to-one support – A dedicated care professional focuses solely on your family’s needs, from medication to meals and companionship.
✅ Flexible and cost-effective – Especially when two people need care, live-in support can be a more personalised and economical option.

Just ask Gary. When he needed care for his parents, Pat and Derek, while travelling abroad, our care professional Janat moved in. Over two weeks, she didn’t just help — she connected. Pat told us, “She was like one of the family… if all carers were like that, this would be a perfect world.”

Want to know more about Pat and Derek’s story? You can read the full blog here 👉 https://www.homeinstead.co.uk/farnborough-farnham-fleet/blog/pat-and-derek-live-in-care/

Do you have a mum or dad who just isn’t getting out like they used to?

You’re not alone — it’s one of the most common worries we hear. And it’s exactly where our care pros step in.

We’re not just here to help at home, we’re here to help them get out and enjoy life again. Whether it's a walk in the park, a coffee in town, or a visit to a local community garden, our carers know where to go and how to make it feel easy again.

Just last week, Lauren spent a lovely afternoon with one of our clients at Hart's Community Garden in Fleet — soaking up the sunshine, chatting with locals, and reconnecting with nature. It’s these little moments that make a big difference.

If you're caring for someone in the borough of Hart, you might also be eligible for a free membership to Hart's Community Garden, thanks to local support services: https://hartvolaction.org.uk/garden-membership-for-carers

Let us help your mum or dad rediscover fresh air, flowers, and friendly faces, while giving you one less thing to worry about.

We've had a wonderfully creative and caring couple of weeks at the Lavender Lounge! 🌸

🎨 For Rushmoor in Bloom Week, we embraced our artistic sides with some still life painting. Beautiful bunches of flowers inspired some truly lovely artwork — and even those who said "I'm not very good at painting" surprised themselves with stunning masterpieces! 💐 Everyone took home a bouquet to brighten their day 🌼

💅 For Carers Week, we wanted to show a little extra love to our incredible unpaid carers. On 12th June, we treated our Lavender Lounge attendees to a relaxing hand massage or mini manicure – and it was a hit! 💖

Everyone left with a complimentary tube of hand cream and, we hope, a real sense of appreciation and care.

Thank you to everyone who joined us — you're what makes Lavender Lounge so special 💜
