Whether you need assistance with running errands, medication management, home help and housekeeping, meal prep, personal care or help with recovery or an on-going condition, our CAREGivers are here to help support you, whatever the requirement. We believe that age shouldn't be a barrier to adventure and happiness and that having a companion who is a CAREGiver can help improve your quality of life. Our CAREGivers are wonderful people who go above and beyond to help keep our client's safe, protected and smiling at all times. We’re here to make a positive impact on the lives of people in our communities by allowing them to live a happy and independent life at home.

Families often think the turning point will be a crisis or a big change, but more often it is something else.

It's the moment when a regular companionship visit starts to make everyday life feel easier again. Someone popping in for a chat, a walk, a bit of help with shopping or a shared cup of tea can lift mood, rebuild confidence and gently support routines.

For families we support, that consistency brings reassurance. You know your loved one is not spending long days alone and you can see the difference it makes to their wellbeing.

Companionship visits are often where support really begins to feel right.

If you are wondering whether companionship visits could make a difference, our team in Thurrock is happy to chat on 01375 803600 or via homeinstead.co.uk/thurrock.

When families first get in touch, they often tell us the hardest part is how to start the conversation about care with a parent.

Not because their mum or dad needs lots of help, but because the word care does not feel like it fits.

Many people have spent their lives working, running households, supporting others and making decisions. Being offered care can feel like a step backwards.

What we often find works better is reframing the idea completely. Instead of “you need help”, it becomes “would it be nice if someone came round for an hour a week to help you sort the photos, get the garden back on track or tackle those boxes in the spare room”.

Very often, just one hour a week can be enough to keep routines going, build confidence and give families reassurance.

Support does not have to mean losing independence. Sometimes it simply means having someone alongside you to get things done.

If you are curious about how even a small amount of support could make a difference, our team in Thurrock is happy to talk on 01375 803600 or via homeinstead.co.uk/thurrock.

This Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is a chance to pause, share awareness, and talk about how cervical screening helps protect long term health.

Almost all cervical cancer cases are caused by HPV, a very common virus that most people come into contact with at some point. Screening now checks for HPV first, helping to spot risk early and prevent cervical cancer before it develops. For most people, results are reassuring, and for a small number, early follow ups help keep them safe and well.

If you are invited for a smear test, attending is one of the simplest ways to look after your health. For information and support, visit https://ukcervicalcancer.org.uk/.

Taking care of yourself helps you stay well for the people who matter most 💚

You ring mum during the week and she sounds just like herself.

She chats about the weather, tells you she is fine and asks how work is going. Then you visit at the weekend and notice the milk is out of date, the post is still unopened and she seems tired after just a short conversation.

It can feel confusing and even a bit unsettling.

This happens more often than people realise. Phone calls are familiar and brief, which makes them easier to manage. Many older people can draw on well practised phrases and concentrate their energy for a few minutes.

Being together in person is different.

Over time you start to notice routines, energy levels and small changes that simply do not come across on the phone.

It does not mean they are pretending or hiding anything. Often it means they are working hard to stay independent in the ways they know how. Trusting what you notice in person is important, and it is often what prompts families to start gentle conversations about extra support.

If this feels familiar and you are not sure what the next step is, our team in Thurrock is happy to talk things through on 01375 803600 or you can find out more about how support at home can provide care and reassurance on our website homeinstead.co.uk/thurrock.
