HOME Instead Wetherby & North Leeds has opened new premises in Horsforth, aiming to meet the growing demand for its services as well as creating job opportunities for people in the local area.

The local home care company provides care to older people in their own homes, allowing them to lead fulfilled lives in safe and familiar surroundings where they feel most comfortable.

General manager of Home Instead Wetherby & North Leeds, Cath Hale said: “When you are part of the community you serve, you build strong meaningful relationships, trust, and support. To us it’s personal.

“I grew up in Horsforth and lived there for over 20 years, went to school there and worked in the Outside Inn as my first job, so the new Horsforth office forms an important part of my personal growth plan, allowing me to give back to the community I came from. I am looking forward to helping even more people to remain living as independently as possible in their own homes, working even more closely with the organisations who provide support including MHA.”

Co-owner of Home Instead Wetherby & North Leeds Simon White said: “Our mission at Home Instead is to expand the world’s capacity to care, and that is what drives us to deliver quality care which keeps people living well in their own homes and supports their families."

Through its new location at 95 Town Street, Horsforth, LS18 5BP, Home Instead aims to support the local community of West Leeds with an accessible office that creates a warm and welcoming environment for older adults and their families.

The company’s bespoke care is carefully planned to ensure each client receives the care they want and need. The company know its clients enjoy seeing a trusted and familiar face, so take time to carefully match clients to care professionals based on mutual interests and hobbies, and ensure continuity of care.
