Hospital discharge and NHS support


Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board oversees NHS services across the city. Local hospitals generally work on a discharge-to-assess model, sometimes called Home First, supporting people to return home with the right care in place rather than staying in hospital longer than necessary.

A Hometouch live-in carer can be arranged quickly to support that transition, providing 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 Birmingham


For anyone looking for council-arranged care, Birmingham City Council’s Adult Social Care team will conduct a free needs assessment.

Whether you contribute to the cost depends on a means test based on income and savings, using the same national capital thresholds, currently £23,250, that apply across England. Live-in care is more commonly arranged and paid for privately, and we’re happy to talk through indicative costs based on your family’s needs.
