Frequently Asked Question About Home Care in London
What is the difference between home care and a care home in London?>
Home care, also called domiciliary care, means a trained carer supports you in your own home. A care home means moving out of your home and into a residential facility. Most people prefer home care because they can stay in familiar surroundings, keep their own routine, and receive care built entirely around them. Home care in London is also often more affordable than a care home for people who need a few hours of support each week.
How much does home care cost in London?>
Home care in London typically costs between GBP 25 and GBP 35 per hour for visiting care. Live-in care costs from around GBP 1,200 to GBP 1,600 per week. You may be able to get help with costs through local authority funding, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance, or PIP. HTR Care will explain all your options after your free home assessment.
Is HTR Care regulated by the CQC?>
Yes. HTR Care is fully registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC rated HTR Care Good across all 5 inspection domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-Led. You can check our CQC registration directly on the CQC website.
