Understanding funding options for care

There are several ways care can be funded, depending on individual circumstances. We can help explain the options available and guide you through the process, including:

Local Authority Funding

If you are arranging care privately, we can help you plan flexible care packages that suit your needs and budget, ensuring you only pay for the support you need.

Self-Funding your Care

Support may be available through your local council following a care needs assessment and financial assessment. We can advise on how to request an assessment and what to expect during the process.

NHS Funding and Support

In some circumstances, individuals with complex health needs may be eligible for NHS support, such as NHS Continuing Healthcare. We can provide guidance on how this works and how to apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Domiciliary Care?

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, provides support to individuals in the comfort of their own homes. This can include help with personal care, medication, meal preparation, companionship and other day-to-day tasks that allow people to live independently and safely.

Who Can Benefit From Domiciliary Care?

Our services are designed for anyone who is over the age of 18 and needs extra support to remain at home, including older adults, people with disabilities, individuals recovering from illness or surgery and those who simply need companionship or assistance with daily routines. We offer anything from 30-minute calls to overnight stays.

How Do We Ensure The Quality Of Care?

We regularly review care plans, carry out spot checks and maintain open communication with clients and families. Feedback is encouraged and valued. It helps us continually improve our services and uphold our commitment to excellence.

We also have thorough care packages which will include details such as a client’s interests, hobbies, care requirements and even how they like their cup of tea.

Can I Choose My Own Carer?

Yes, wherever possible we match clients with carers based on personality, skills and shared interests. Though we cannot guarantee the same carer all the time due to holidays and illness, we will do our best to provide clients with those they are happy with. We understand how important trust and comfort are in the care relationship, and we aim to provide continuity with familiar faces.

How Do I Arrange Care Or Book An Assessment?

You can contact us directly by phone, email or through our website. We’ll arrange a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your needs and create a personalised care plan tailored to you or your loved one.

We offer a wide range of services tailored to individual needs, including personal care, respite care, companionship, medication assistance, meal preparation and support with appointments or outings. Each care plan is bespoke and designed around our clients’ preferences and goals.

How Do You Select And Train Your Carers?

All of our carers are carefully vetted through background checks including DBS, qualifications and references. They receive professional training to ensure the highest standards of care and we actively support their ongoing personal and professional development. Our team members are chosen not only for their skills but also for their compassion and commitment.

Do You Provide Care Over Weekends And Holidays?

Yes, we provide care 7 days a week, 365 days a year, which includes evenings, weekends and holidays. We believe that consistent, reliable support is essential for our clients’ wellbeing.

What Makes Your Company Different?
