Frequently Asked Questions

Home care is support delivered in your own home instead of a care home. HTR Care sends professional carers to your home on an hourly basis, or to live with you full-time, covering personal care, medication support, and companionship. Home care keeps people safe, comfortable, and independent at home.

HTR Care provides 9 main types of home care. Visiting care covers personal care, meal preparation, medication support, and mobility assistance. HTR Care provides live-in care, dementia care, respite care, overnight care, and companionship care for people with more complex or continuous needs. Care adjusts as needs change over time.

Families choose HTR Care for 3 main reasons: carer consistency, personalised matching, and local coverage. HTR Care sends the same carers wherever possible, building trust and routine in the home. Carers are matched on both care needs and personality, and HTR Care operates across Uxbridge, Hillingdon, Greater London, and surrounding areas.
