Which to choose? Care Home or Home Care?

An alternative to residential care homes is to choose care in your own home – which can include 24 hour live in care if required.

With no rigid rules or set timetables that would be experienced by those in residential care settings, each day can be planned around your needs, giving you a sense of independence and dignity and providing peace of mind for your family.

There is overwhelming evidence that this kind of considered one-to-one care produces a far better experience for the vast majority of people. Moving into the unsettling surroundings of a residential care or nursing home can be upsetting, especially for those with conditions such as dementia or depression. This can be especially true where people have to move away from friends, a partner or even give up a beloved pet.

Will I get the same carers all the time?

Everycare Hillingdon has an enviable reputation built over the last 13 years, partly due to the high quality care and consistency in both time of calls and consistency in the carers you will see. Please check out our reviews from past and present clients on homecare.co.uk and Google Reviews to see what our clients have to say about consistency in timing of care visits and seeing the same small team of carers consistently.

How is care paid for?

When it comes to paying for home care, there isn’t just one route — and that’s actually good news. Most people use a mix of options depending on their needs, savings, and what support they’re entitled to.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how it usually works:

· Private funding Many people choose to pay for their care themselves. This gives you full control over the provider you use and the type of support you receive. If you have more than £23,250 in savings, you’ll usually fall into this category.

· Local Authority support Your local council can help with the cost of care, but first they’ll carry out a care needs assessment and a financial assessment. If you qualify, they may pay part or even most of your care costs.

· Local Authority funding If you live in Hillingdon or Harrow, the local authority (Adult Social Care) can arrange care for you or provide a personal budget or direct payments so you can choose your own care provider. They may also offer short-term reablement support, which is often free for up to six weeks.

· NHS-funded care In some cases — especially when someone has complex medical needs or end of life / palliative care — the NHS may cover the full cost of care through Continuing Healthcare.

· Benefits that help with care costs Payments like Attendance Allowance or PIP can make a real difference and aren’t affected by your savings. Many people use these to help cover their care costs.
