HOME VISITS

Whatever your digital tv requirements we can offer you a professional service & helpful advice, from small repairs to new installations we are only a phone call away.

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.

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: THE ROYAL KINGS ARMS HOTEL, 75 MARKET STREET, LANCASTER LA1 1JG and THE BELLFLOWER RESTAURANT, PARKSIDE LN, GARSTANG, PRESTON PR3 0JA.

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.
