Get support at home

Home care is care provided in your own home to help you stay independent.

You can contact a home care agency if you want to arrange your own private home care. Home care agencies provide trained care workers or nurses who can help you at home.

Some agencies offer specialist support for people with:

• learning disabilities
• dementia
• mental health problems
• brain injuries

You can get help if you’re struggling with everyday tasks such as washing, laundry or taking medication.

If you're looking for help at home, try the Buy with Confidence website. These businesses are approved by Trading Standards.
