HomeCareDirect

At HomeCareDirect we are passionate about the personalisation of care, and for over 20 years we’ve been supporting people and families to take control over their support at home. We provide a Nurse led national service and are proud to be helping hundreds of people and their families nationwide to live independently in their own home. 

• Do you want more choice and control over your care at home?
• Do you want to choose and organise your own personal assistants?
• Do you want your personal assistants to be a friend, neighbour or relative?
• Do you want to choose who comes into your home and when?
• Do you want your personal assistants trained to meet your specific needs?
• Do you want to choose your own personal assistants without the responsibilities and risks of being their employer?

If you answered yes to any of the above then we can help!

We're a national service who recognise that personal budgets, direct payments,personal health budgets and Individual Service Funds give people the chance to choose, employ and organise their own personal assistants – an opportunity to have full choice and control over their support at home.

HomeCareDirect offer a third party legal employer service meaning we will employ your chosen personal assistants on your behalf to CQC standards (Care Quality Commission) . You’ll still have all the same choice and control yet you won’t have to take on the responsibility (and sometimes the hassles!) of being an employer.

We support people with health and social care support needs including -: complex physical conditions, learning disability and or autism, mental health and challenging behaviour  

We think that there’s no better way to get an insight into the benefits of directing your own support than by hearing from those who are already doing it, so please see our website here for some of our success stories.

See our website for lots more details on HomeCareDirect and how we can help you direct your own support www.homecaredirect.co.uk

We recognised that people want the choice and control of self directed support but are daunted by all the responsibilities. Therefore, we’ve designed a service to make choosing and employing your own personal assistant team as easy as possible.

We’ll ensure your personal assistants are employed in a legal manner, taking on the payroll on your behalf, including all employers national insurance, holiday and bank holiday pay, maternity/paternity and sickness pay. Your support will be managed by one of our clinical nurses and your support team will be trained and supported to meet competence of your care  We will 

Due to the personalised nature of our services we do have a minimum service level of 30 hours of support per week.
