Home Instead Senior Care in Andover & East Wiltshire is growing its business in Wiltshire, and recently welcomed newly trained caregivers to the company, which serves clients in Pewsey, Devizes, and Marlborough. The new caregivers have completed and passed a three-day in house training course and are now ready to work in the community providing high-quality at-home care.

The need to employ more carers in the local area is a reflection of a national trend which is a result of the ageing population. A report from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills has recently identified the need to recruit over half a million carers by 2022. The report also listed caring as one of the careers of the future.

Jan Lovelock, 61, a newly hired caregiver said, “Home Instead is such a thoroughly professional organisation. The in-depth training I have just received was really top class, and I look forward to building a strong bond with my clients.”

Nell Light, owner of Home Instead Andover and East Wiltshire says, “We are receiving calls from local people and family members looking for home care, and our business is growing as a result.

“We consider our fantastic caregivers as everyday superheroes; they are everyday people doing extraordinary work. Whether they are providing companionship care, preparing meals, or helping with daily living routines, they are making a difference to the lives of the elderly.”

Home Instead Senior Care is an award winning national company which is changing the way care is delivered in the UK and is rapidly building a reputation as one of the UK’s leading care companies. Their service is tailored to the needs of individual clients and ranges from companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, post-discharge care, personal care, medication reminders, shopping and errands.
