Domiciliary care at home, sometimes called hourly care or visiting care is usually provided by a domiciliary care agency. A visiting carer from the agency you choose will visit you in your home, usually daily, sometimes twice or three times a day to support your care needs. Carers will support you with personal care and will enable you to have meals as and when you need them. Domiciliary care is suitable for those with low to medium needs and for someone who does not need around the clock care.
Benefits of domiciliary care
· Daily care and support provided as and when you need it.
· No need to move from your home to get the care you need.
· A family carer who has been supporting you can have a break from their role as carer.
Limitations of domiciliary care
· Visiting carers will typically only spend 20 minutes to an hour with you when they come to your home. They will have several other clients they have to visit in the day, so care tasks may feel rushed.
· Generally, there is insufficient time for companionship or a strong relationship to be formed.
· Domiciliary care is not suitable for someone living with high needs, as there is limited time for quality complex care to be provided.
· Family members may still need to be involved in providing care depending on a person’s needs at other times throughout the day.
· Co-ordination of visits from other healthcare professionals is the responsibility of you or your family.
· Family members may need to provide cover if a carer is sick or there is an unexpected absence.

Here we provide guidance on the cost of nursing and residential care homes in the UK so that you and your family have the information you need to choose the most suitable option.
There are many factors that impact the cost of a care home, including where the care home is located, the quality of the environment and facilities available and the level of care you require.
According to a study by LaingBuisson, the typical cost for residential care in the UK falls between £27,000 and £39,000 annually, while nursing home fees can climb to £35,000 – £55,000 per year.
However, it is worth noting that this includes all types of care homes across the UK – those that are solely or partly funded by local authorities and those that are paid for privately by those needing care. The difference between local authority and private provision in terms of the cost can be in excess of 50% or more.
If you would like a high-quality, luxury private care home where they invest in both their environment and care teams, you can expect to pay in excess of £60,000 per year for a room and residential care. This can rise in excess of £80,000 or more per annum for nursing care or specialist care to support those living with conditions, like dementia, Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or for those who need stroke care, cancer care and palliative care.
Care home costs in England also vary in relation to their location. In the South, prices start from £1,200 a week and in the North, prices start from £700 a week.
