The basics

What is home care?

Home care covers regulated personal care delivered to a person in their own home by trained care workers. Visits can range from short check-ins to several hours of support each day, covering tasks such as washing and dressing, medication prompts, meal preparation, light housekeeping and mobility assistance. Home care can be temporary — for example after a hospital stay — or long-term. In England, providers offering personal care must be registered with the Care Quality Commission; equivalent regulators apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Who it's for

Who is home care for?

Home care is suited to older adults who want to remain independent at home, people recovering from illness, injury or surgery, and people living with long-term conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis. Many families turn to home care when a relative needs more support than they can comfortably provide, but does not yet need to move into a care home. It is also a common choice for adults with disabilities who want regulated personal care delivered flexibly in a familiar environment.
