Frequently Asked Questions

What is live-in care?

Live-in care is where a carer lives in the care recipient’s home temporarily for 24 hours. The carer provides personal care, from companionship to washing and dressing.

Is live-in care the same as a care home?

No. With live-in care, a carer lives in the care recipient’s own home for a 24-hour period, so the person stays where they already live. A care home is a residential setting that the person moves into, and their care is provided there rather than at home. Live-in care is therefore the option for someone who wants to remain in their own home, while a care home means moving to a new place. For a fuller side-by-side view, see live-in care and care homes compared.

Is Hometouch regulated by the Care Quality Commission?

Yes. Hometouch Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and our regulated model of care is accountable to the CQC. Our introductory model is not regulated by the CQC.

Do I choose my own carer?

Hometouch matches a named carer to your care plan from our vetted list of carers. If your carer is on leave, we will try to let you select a preferred replacement.

How much does live-in care cost?

Your rate is agreed with you at the start of your contract. The cost of live-in care depends on the complexity of care, specialist skills, manual handling needs and the carer’s seniority. Care on a bank holiday is charged at twice the standard rate.
