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.

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.
