Home Instead services are tailored to the needs of individual clients and range from companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, shopping and errands. The service is totally flexible to meet client needs and is available from a few hours to seven days a week.

Ex-Royal Navy engineer and owner Sam Hayhurst comments: “I am proud that my caring team and I are able to keep people safe in the comfort of their own homes. We can provide a variety of vital services including medication reminders, escorting to medical appointments, household chores and shopping.

Our care is most importantly companionshipled, which has proven to be key during these times. Care visits can range from a chat and a cup of tea, to taking a walk in the park, or taking a trip to a client’s favourite place”

Home Instead know that quality care cannot be delivered in short, rushed visits so care calls are a minimum of one hour. Time is taken to carefully match CAREGivers to their clients so that they share common areas of interest and can form long and trusting relationships.

CAREGivers are fully trained in the ethos and values of the company, offering only the highest standards of care services.

MON 27TH & TUE 28TH OCTOBER from 10.30am to 4.00pm

JEWELLERY AND COIN ROADSHOW

A very lucky couple called at one of our recent roadshow events with a couple of old gold chains and a silver charm bracelet and a bag of old silver British coins. We paid them over £1600.00 just for the coins alone. They turned out to be pre 1947 silver coins that were normal currency a few years ago and are now highly collected. We asked them for their permission to pass on this story to help other people realise what they may be sitting on and they were only too pleased to allow us to let everyone know that they might be sitting on a goldmine and not even know it! Like most people, who can only dream of winning the pools or the lottery, a lot of normal households have a hidden treasure of old gold jewellery, silver jewellery, teapots, trophies, trays and old objects d’art. Why not get a free valuation from our expert at our roadshow at: HOLIDAY INN LANCASTER, WATERSIDE PARK, CATON RD, LANCASTER LA1 3RA AND GARSTANG COUNTRY HOTEL, BOWGREAVE DRIVE, PRESTON PR3 1YE

There is no queuing and our expert will give you a one on one appraisal of the value of your treasured possessions in a private area, where there are no prying eyes, watching the process evolve. If you like the valuation our expert will make you the same offer in cash which you can accept or decline at no cost to yourself. The whole process of valuation is free of charge and very private, so you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

Updating your conservatory to a room

We don’t think twice about updating our kitchens and bathrooms to improve their functionality and appearance. So why restrict your conservatory’s use to only certain times of the year, when it’s not too cold or too hot?

We can upgrade your conservatory by tiling the outside with lightweight tiles, installing breathable wadding insulation to the inside and ﬁnishing with white cladding or plastering. Most roofs are completed in just two days. Our professional, courteous rooﬁng installers ensure high-quality workmanship, and we guarantee both our installation and products.

Failed windows not only look terrible, but they allow cold air and moisture in to your home and that means you are going to pay more than you should, to heat your house each and every month.

Let Back to Brilliant Windows fix your foggy windows, and you can start saving money on those heating bills. Don’t forget all our windows are backed by a tenyear manufacturer’s guarantee, not just a flimsy certificate which isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

Our fully trained window experts can repair your windows quickly and economically, bringing them back to show house quality.

Don’t just accept foggy windows, after all no one wants windows that allow moisture, cold and mould into your home.

Let Back to Brilliant windows explain how you can save money, compared to the cost of replacing complete windows.

Call Anthony O’Brien at Back to Brilliant windows and start saving money now. Modern windows are designed to act as an insulation barrier in a room, if they fail you might as well open the windows and throw money out onto the road.
