NEWS | Local lady inspired to join local home care company after she saw how they cared for her grandmother

Award winning local home care company, Home Instead Hereford, are celebrating the appointment of Deb Evans, a local lady whose personal experience with home care has inspired her to join the Home Instead team.

It was after Home Instead cared for her grandmother, that Deb, who is a nurse, saw first-hand the level of care provided.

She commented: “Home Instead cared for my grandmother June, from June 2021 to September 2022, whilst she was living with Dementia. It only took a phone call for them to understand exactly what she needed, being a nurse myself, this gave me a huge sense of assurance.”

Deb continued: “Home Instead did a fantastic job caring for my grandmother and supporting us as her family too. This first-hand experience of Home Instead made it a really appealing organisation to be part of and joining their ‘Healthcare at Home’ team meant I could use all the skills I already have as a nurse, but within the homes of my clients where they are more comfortable, as opposed to a hospital environment.”

Owner and Director of Home Instead Hereford, Natalie Cooke commented: “It’s great to have Deb on board as part of our ‘Healthcare at Home’ team, she brings with her a vast amount of nursing experience but also the knowledge of what it’s like to be on the other side, as a client’s family member. We are proud to have delivered such a standard of care that Deb felt driven to become part of it too, providing the same experience to other families.”

Home Instead provide care services to elderly people across the local area, helping them live safely and comfortable in their own homes for as long as possible.

Their services range from home help and companionship to more specialist dementia and palliative care.

Home Instead Hereford is looking for 10 more ‘Healthcare at Home’ care professionals to join their team to deliver practical help and nursing care tailored to clients, allowing them to live their best life at home.
