Home Care company announces acquisition to enhance ‘live-in’ care services

Leading home care company, Home Instead Senior Care, has acquired SuperCarers as part of ambitious plans to extend its ‘live-in’ care offering to enable more older people to be cared for at home.

The purchase of SuperCarers, a care introductory business, is in response to the changing needs of elderly clients who are looking for live-in care as an alternative to care homes. This is where a carer provides around the clock care in a person’s home.

Martin Jones, CEO of Home Instead Senior Care UK, said: “Home is the place people feel happiest and most secure and our services can support that – we know from our research that 98% of over 65s say it’s important to them that they stay living independently in their own home.

“Acquiring the SuperCarers business is an exciting development for us and will allow us to build on our home care offer to support even more people at home for longer. This can be from early stage care, which might only involve using technology to stay in touch with an older person to ensure they are safe, right through to more support around personal care, home help, and then eventually live-in care and palliative care.”

The SuperCarers operation willbe implemented into the quality Home Instead Senior Care model in the coming months.

Adam Pike of SuperCarers said: “Home Instead Senior Care is incredibly well respected in the home care market and we were delighted with the opportunity to join forces to support even more older people to receive the care they so deserve at home and look forward to working with the team at Home Instead to achieve this.”

Part of a global franchise network, Home Instead was established in the UK 15 years ago and in this time has grown considerably to 215 offices with 9000 CAREGivers looking after 14,000 elderly clients.
