Derry~Londonderry has an ageing population. The number of people aged 65 and over has grown faster than any other age group in recent years. Hometouch carers support families across Derry and the wider district, bringing doctor-founded clinical expertise to those who want to remain independent at home rather than move into residential care.

Hospital discharge and NHS support


Most families start to consider live-in care after an illness, fall, or operation. Hospital discharge is usually coordinated by the Western Health and Social Care Trust, which combines health and social care through multi-disciplinary teams of hospital and community care staff. A Hometouch live-in carer can be arranged to bridge that gap, provide personal care, mobility support and companionship from the day someone returns home.

As a CQC regulated carer provider, we can arrange full costs and available live-in carers for:

Condition-specific care


Dementia or any other condition-specific care

Reablement care


Postoperative or any other injury-related care

General care


Overnight, companionship or disability care


CQC regulation


Hometouch's managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and rated Good. Inspectors assess how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led a service is, and the full report is available on the CQC website.

Paying for live-in care in Derry LondonDerry


Northern Ireland’s funding system works differently from England’s local authority model. Following a needs assessment, care arranged through the Western Health and Social Care Trust is usually provided free of charge. However, this does vary by Trust and service. Live-in care is usually sourced and paid for privately, because it goes beyond the scope of what’s covered. The team at Hometouch are happy to talk through indicative costs based on your family’s needs.e
