Home Instead - Wimbledon & Kingston

Home Instead - Wimbledon & Kingston Outstanding rated! Home Instead Wimbledon & Kingston provides care and support to older people in their own homes. Not difficult, but so important.

Home Instead's ethos is to 'change the face of ageing' and it is with extreme passion and commitment that we are here in your local community. Just because you are elderly doesn't mean you have to stop living. By providing a service of companionship and care to someone when they need it is so simple but can be got so wrong! I have experienced the wrong side of care for both my parents who I lost to motor neurone disease and breast cancer a few years ago. It was at a time when I had two small boys and not enough time to give to my parents. I had to place my trust in others' and when good care is not provided, it can have such an impact on everyone concerned. I want Home Instead to become your trusted companion for your loved one and for us to be an extension of your own family. We will do what we say we are going to do when we say we are going to! The same person will come at the right time on the right day to do what you want. Our clients include individuals who have come to us themselves, older children who have referred their parents or relatives, people who receive direct payments from the local authority and clients referred to us by the Primary Care Trust. Regardless of how you come to Home Instead, it is my goal to provide the same level of help and care that I wanted for my parents. "It's great to phone Mum and ask her what she's been doing and for her to tell me about her outings and visits. She loves Donna!" - Mrs H's daughter, Wimbledon

🌟 Pauline’s Perseverance 🌟
We just had to share this from one of our incredible clients, Pauline — a brilliant reminder that with the right support, it’s never too late to rediscover the things we love.

Pauline lives with arthritis in her hands and hadn’t picked up her knitting needles in years. But when she found out she’s expecting not one, but two great-great-grandchildren (Wow!), her daughter gently encouraged her to give it another go.

The pattern was unfamiliar, and the cotton yarn felt beautiful but tricky to manage. There were moments when things didn’t go to plan — including an entire week spent patiently unpicking a section — but Pauline kept going.
She’s now completed a gorgeous cardigan for the baby girl — who may have arrived already! — and is halfway through the one for the baby boy due soon.

💬 Suzy, one of our Care Professionals, said:
“I’m so proud of Pauline. It’s taken patience, resilience, and love — and the result is just beautiful.”

At Home Instead Wimbledon & Kingston, stories like Pauline’s are what we’re all about. Our Care Professionals don’t just support our clients with practical help — they encourage, motivate, and open the door to possibility.
From driving clients to wool shops or baby boutiques, to being a sounding board when things don’t go right the first time, our team builds relationships that uplift, empower and reconnect people to their passions, friends, families — and the wider Wimbledon & Kingston community.

Huge congrats to Pauline and her lovely family from all of us at Home Instead Wimbledon and Kingston.

This World Alzheimer’s Month, we’re shining a light on the support available through the Merton Memory Hub.

Run by the Alzheimer's Society, the hub brings together a variety of services under one roof. Families can access groups tailored to every stage of the dementia journey, from social games and peer support to Singing for the Brain, music groups, and gentle exercise classes.

It’s not just about activities, but about creating a space where carers, friends, and those living with dementia can find guidance, enjoy time together, and feel part of a wider community.

Watch Merton Council's short clip of a 'Feel Good Fridays Dance and Movement Workshop' in action, just a snapshot of what is on offer through the Memory Hub!

Children often notice changes in their grandparents long before adults expect them to. Dementia can be difficult to explain, but open conversations make it easier for children to cope and stay connected.

Some ways to guide those conversations include:
• Keeping explanations simple and suited to their age
• Reminding them their grandparent is still the same person inside
• Finding activities to enjoy together, such as reading or looking at family albums
• Allowing space for questions and answering honestly

This approach helps children feel included and reassured.
