Visiting home care in North West
Visiting home care is sometimes called domiciliary care, which simply means care given in someone’s own home. Care workers from an agency call at set times, help with what is in the care plan, and then leave until the next visit.
Every agency we match is registered with the Care Quality Commission, covers the postcode where care is needed and has told us it can take on new clients. You tell us once, and the right agency calls you.

Costs and funding
Visiting home care is usually charged by the hour, and the price depends on visit length, time of day and where you live. Our cost guide explains what affects the price, and the calculator helps you estimate it. Care may be paid for from savings, by the council after a needs and financial assessment, or by the NHS in some cases.
Your council in North West can assess care needs for anyone who asks, and then look at finances to see whether it will help with the cost.

It may. Contact the adult social care team at your council and ask for a needs assessment. If your parent is eligible, the council will then do a financial assessment to work out what it can contribute. Our funding checker gives a quick idea first.
It depends on the agency and how much care is needed. Tell us how soon care is needed and we pass that on, so the agency can tell you straight away when they could start.
