New Home Instead Scarborough & Ryedale opening The brand new Home Instead Senior Care Scarborough & Ryedale franchise has passed an important milestone by successfully registering with the care regulator the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide services to elderly people in Scarborough and Ryedale. Managing Director, Luke, and the Care Manager, Becky, both successfully completed the CQC vetting process and as a result Home Instead is now registered to provide personal care. Having successfully run the Home Instead franchise in York since 2009, owner Luke, is now bringing Home Instead’s trademark high quality care at home to older people in Scarborough and Ryedale.
Here’s what Luke had to say on the opening, “It is particularly important in these challenging times that elderly people’s needs are considered. Home Instead can assist with a range of daily living activities such as shopping, meal preparation, washing and dressing, but just as importantly with companionship
and, when the time is appropriate, going out.” The service is intended to help people maintain their quality of life as they grow older. Please contact Becky Volans (pictured) on 01723 333022.

Home Instead York client, Walter, marked his 100th birthday last month with some socially distanced celebrations. Congratulations Walter, it looks like you had a wonderful day!
James inspired to raise money for St Leonard’s Hospice Inspired by Captain Tom, Home Instead Senior Care client James marched 50 laps of his local park throughout the course of May to raise money for St. Leonard’s Hospice.
Accompanied by CAREGiver Lisa, James, who has autism, marched along to ‘Is This the Way to Amarillo’, after seeing Peter Kay’s sketch on the BBC’s ‘The Big Night In’ a few weeks back. James has so far raised an
incredible £915.00 for St Leonard’s Hospice. If you would be interested in sponsoring him, a ‘Just Giving’ page has been set up, just search for ‘The Amarillo Challenge’. Congratulations James, what an incredible achievement!
