Providing ten years of the best home-based care in Rutland is Home Instead.

The company, based at 6 The Maltings, Mill Street, Oakham, has been winning accolades since it began offering services to the county in 2011.

Now, Home Instead and Nub News are pleased to announced the care provider has become our latest sponsor, enabling our community website to continue to provide the latest hyper-local news, sport and features for Oakham.

Options from Home Instead range from live in care, home from hospital support following surgery, companionship, meal preparation and home cooked food.

Home Instead services include accompanying to outings or appointments, respite and dementia support, personal care and support, Parkinsons, Stroke, Alzheimer's and Dementia support and end of life care.

And Home Instead's exceptional care has been recognised as 5* outstanding in all areas of inspection by the Care Quality Commission.

The company believes that remaining at home is the most comfortable solution as you age. As daily tasks become more challenging it can make independent living at home more challenging, but this shouldn't mean that you have to leave the home you love.

Home care services from Home Instead will allow you or your loved one to remain at home, with a dedicated, professional team that works around you.

Gail Devereux-Batchelor, Managing Director for Home Instead, says trust is the key to all her team does.

Gail said: "We take great care to introduce our clients and CAREGivers to each other ensuring that our clients have reassurance and peace of mind. If you have pets, we will match you to some-one who also loves to be around pets, indeed, whatever your hobbies and interests are, we will look for the perfect match. It's not just care for older people - anyone over 18 needing support can be a client.

"Our CAREGivers are fully insured, reference checked and have maturity, experience, compassion and unrivalled award winning training. We are proud of our exclusive City & Guilds qualifications in Alzheimer's and Dementia and End of Life care."

Gail continued: "We pride ourselves on our 5* CQC Outstanding rating in all areas, and know that this is due to motivated, reliable and happy staff working together to provide the best possible care and support for our clients.

"Our CAREGivers arrive on time, we don't wear uniform but look like a friend or companion for outings, however we do wear all the correct PPE following up to date guidance."

The staff are also backed up by an extensive team.

Gail explained: "Our Care Management team includes a Registered Nurse and we take the lead in many local professional groups and we foster a culture of learning and continuous improvement.

"Our CAREGivers are hand picked, and encouraged to develop their skills and qualifications beyond the mandatory Care Certificate."

And Gail added Home Instead enjoys being part of the community.

"Being able to take part in local activities and knowing what is going on is vital for wellbeing, we host Friendship Lunches, and provide Community Dementia Friends talks, safety talks including Carbon Monoxide Awareness and Scam Awareness talks both online and to community groups and workplaces."

"Nub News is a great partnership to help keep us in touch with people in Rutland."

Karl Hancock, Nub News founder and chief executive officer, said: "To have such a highly respected company as our second Oakham sponsor is really exciting.

"Home Instead's core value of working from the heart of their community to provide outstanding care for residents perfectly complements what we are doing at Nub News."
