Do you need Home Care?

Deciding you or your loved one needs Home Care can be difficult. It may feel uncomfortable to talk about personal and intimate topics with family or friends.

It may also be challenging to trust someone with intimate tasks if you or they require Personal Care services. Choosing our professional Home Care service can help in this situation. Using our Carers reduces or eliminates the need for close family and friends to perform intimate tasks for their loved ones.

They can also help bridge the gap if you live far from family or are otherwise unable to provide as much support as your loved one requires. Of course, it can even be a challenge to recognise a loved one needs help at home.

+ Loneliness
+ Medical condition
+ Mobility issues

Reluctant to Go Into a Care Home?

Care at Home is a popular alternative to residential care. This is because it can be cost effective and allows you or your loved one to remain in the home you love.

Living at home means staying surrounded by familiar belongings, cherished memories, and the comfort of your own space. Our care services enable you to maintain independence and quality of life in the place where you feel most comfortable and secure.

Struggling to Maintain Routines?

Our Carers can support daily routines so life can continue the way you like. We help with anything from errands like housework to using the bathroom and hoisting, or shopping.

Whether it’s bathing, oral hygiene, meal preparation, or household tasks, we ensure your daily routine is maintained with dignity and respect. Our support helps you maintain independence while ensuring all essential activities are completed safely and comfortably.

Feeling Lonely or Isolated?

Our Carers aren’t just professional, they’re also friendly! We can spend time with you or your loved one for valuable companionship and a listening ear.

Social connection is vital for wellbeing. Our care goes beyond physical assistance – we provide meaningful companionship, engaging conversation, and emotional support. Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea, going for a walk, or simply having someone to talk to, we’re here to brighten your day.

Living With a Medical Condition?

Our Carers are trained to support complex needs including for conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s and more.

We understand that many health conditions require specialized care and attention. Our trained care professionals work closely with healthcare providers to ensure proper medication management, monitoring of symptoms, and support tailored to your specific medical needs. You can feel confident that you’re receiving expert care from people who understand your condition.

Experiencing Mobility Issues?

Our Teams help with getting out and about, whether it be going out in the community or getting into and out of bed. Our Carers can also support with getting to, from and using the bathroom.

Mobility challenges shouldn’t limit your life. We provide safe assistance with transfers, walking, and moving around your home. Whether you need help using mobility aids, getting dressed, or simply moving from room to room, our trained carers ensure your safety while encouraging as much independence as possible.

Home Care stories

Many people feel that having a Visiting Carer at home helps in more ways than one. In addition to the help they need, it’s also comforting to have company at home. The best type of care is the kind that meets the specific needs of each person. Your loved one can still enjoy life in the place they know best – their own home.

How to arrange Home Care

When you choose Home Care, our priority is to provide reliable, compassionate support that helps you or your loved one live comfortably and safely at home. Our Home Care teams are made up of fully trained professionals who bring not only practical skills, but also patience, respect, and genuine care to every visit.

We take time to understand your needs so we can deliver the right level of support. Whether you require help with daily routines, personal care, medication prompts, mobility, or companionship, our carers are experienced and committed to giving you their full attention.

Our approach is simple: consistent, high‑quality Home Care delivered by people who are dedicated to making everyday life easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

We focus on building trust, maintaining dignity, and supporting independence — all within the comfort of your own home.

The first thing you need to do is find out what your loved one really needs. You and your loved one’s voice is a crucial component of any care planning. Initially, they might need help with Home Care, daily tasks or just some emotional support. When we have this information, we can make a personalised care plan.

  • Comprehensive assessment of care needs
  • Family input and loved one’s preferences
  • Personalised care plan development
  • Local support services coordination

Finding the right care plan is not just about finding skilled care providers. It’s also about choosing visits and tasks that match and enhance you or your loved one’s needs and likes.

  • We work closely with you
  • Specialised care training
  • Ongoing care package review

Once you choose Alina Homecare, the care plan can start right away. Home Care can help with many things. This may be personal hygiene, tackling elderly loneliness or getting dressed.

  • Immediate care plan implementation
  • Personal hygiene and daily tasks
  • Companionship and social interaction

What are the benefits of Home Care?

Our Carers deliver positive, quality care that is compassionate, gentle and always bespoke to you or your loved one. Good quality and respectful care is all about the small details. We learn your preferences from how you like your tea, when you want to get dressed and all your cherished routines. When you would like to receive care is up to you. We are very flexible and work around you. Our Visiting Care means we can pop in for 30 minutes or longer or we also provide Live-in Care and 24 Hour Care at Home.

Quick Questions

What is Home Care?

We have a guide to help answer the question ‘What is Home Care?‘ Also known as Home Care, Care at Home is personalised support that enables you to stay at home for longer. Sometimes we need a little more support than usual – and Care at Home is a way of receiving assistance where you feel most comfortable. Whether it’s home help with daily tasks, medication, getting ready for the day or assistance after an accident, our Teams can help in making your life easier.

How does Home Care work?

Home Care is a flexible service tailored to your specific needs. We work with you to agree a care plan with as much care as you need and including the support you need. For some people, this might be companionship and help with daily housekeeping tasks. For others, this could mean more specialist help like hoisting, or even continuous 24 Hour Home Care and Live-in Care.

What is the difference between Home Care & Live-in Care?

The main difference is that Home Care involves a Carer visiting you throughout the day and these visits can be as little as 30 minutes. On the other hand, Live-in Care involves your Carer moving in with you full time. Either way, you’ll receive quality care in the comfort of your home. With Live-in Care, enjoy continuous support and reassurance that there’s someone in the home all day if you need any help. There are lots of types of Home Care available, from Companionship Care to Personal Care and more specialist support services for conditions such as dementia and strokes. If you need help overnight, you could opt for a Live-in Carer or choose our Waking Nights service.

What's included?

Home Care can be whatever you want it to be! Our range of services include Personal Care, Domestic Care, Companion Care, Palliative Care and Respite Care. We also offer Live-in Care and Overnight Care if a waking night or sleeping night service is what you need.

Is it suitable if I need specialist Home Care?

Absolutely. We can include more specialist services for conditions like Multiple Sclerosis , Parkinson’s, dementia, cancer and more. If necessary, we can also arrange for a second Care Worker to help during your visit if you have more complex needs.

How much does a Home Carer cost per hour?

Home Care costs vary depending on many factors. Costs will be determined by the type of care needed, how often it’s needed and where you or your loved one live. Most of our Home Care services are charged on an hourly or part-hourly basis to ensure care remains fully flexible and changeable to suit your needs. However, if Overnight Care or Live-in Care is required, costs can be charged at a fixed rate. To learn more about how much Home Care costs, contact your local Alina Homecare Team for a more comprehensive cost assessment.

Why should I choose Home Care vs a care home?

Home Care is great for those who wish to remain in the comfort of their home but need extra support. Moving into a residential care facility can be daunting and many prefer to remain in a familiar environment surrounded by special memories. Home Care also provides personalised support that’s conducted in a manner to suit your needs and preferences. Unfortunately, care homes can’t provide the same level of dedicated and personalised care. In a care home, staff attention is shared between multiple residents. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what you think would work best for you. Read our guide comparing Home Care with care homes.

How does Alina Homecare compare to an introductory agency?

Introductory agencies are not regulated and quality cannot be guaranteed. We provide fully regulated services that are inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We also provide full and exclusive training for our Care Workers, whereas private Carer and agency Carers may not have comprehensive training. In addition to this, our services are also backed up with central support; this means you can count on us even if your Care Worker needs time off as our local Team can step in to ensure continuity of care.

Where can I read reviews?

You can hear first hand from many of our clients on our homecare.co.uk profile as well as Google Business. We’re proudly recommended by 97% of our clients!

When should I consider Home Care?

Everyone’s process of preparing for Home Care is different. We can help in any circumstance. You or your loved one may be feeling overwhelmed, there could be an emergency, your main caregiver may be away, or you may simply like some company. We tailor our Home Care to suit your individual needs, so you can receive as much or as little help as necessary.

How do I get home help?

Home help is just a phone call or email away! Shortly after contacting us, your nearest Alina Homecare Team will be in touch to better understand your needs and how we can help. After a free no obligation consultation held at your home, the Team will create a detailed and tailored Home Care plan for you and discuss costs. With your agreement, the care delivery can begin.

How quickly can care be arranged?

In most instances, we’re able to install care within 24 hours of initial contact, sometimes sooner if required. We operate a responsive service. Wherever possible, we work to your timings and work very hard to ensure your care is in place when it’s needed. If you need Emergency Care, please contact your local Alina Homecare Team.

What areas do you cover?

We provide care across the South of England. Find your local Team.

How is Home Care monitored?

Our branches are registered with the CQC, the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. Their ratings reflect our commitment to quality assured care and gives you added confidence that our services meet the highest quality standards. In addition to this, we are proud to partner with Birdie Care. Birdie’s innovative care technology enables us to digitally log and monitor the support we provide. The Birdie Family App, with your consent, also allows full visibility of care at any time for you and your loved ones. It’s a great way of providing added reassurance that you’re receiving the highest quality care.
