This listing lets you see exactly which home care agencies in Berkshire are currently registered to deliver personal care in people's own homes, and in this instance the answer is a single agency. That one service has not yet been given a first published rating by the Care Quality Commission, which usually means it registered too recently to have been inspected rather than anything adverse about it. The limited number here reflects the current registration data held for this area and this type of care, not a limitation of the Care Assura directory, and it means a search confined to this page alone would be too narrow to serve anyone well. Reading Borough Council is the authority responsible for carrying out care needs assessments and for arranging funded support for people living in its area. Open the profile below to see what has been published so far, and treat neighbouring areas as part of the same search rather than a fallback.

SureCare Reading and East Berkshire is a home care agency supporting people in their own homes across Reading and the surrounding area. We work with older people, adults living with dementia, people with a learning disability or autism, those managing a mental health condition, people with a physical disability, and people living with a visual or hearing impairment. We also support younger adults. With that range of needs there is no standard package, and we do not pretend otherwise. Every arrangement starts with a proper conversation about how someone likes their life to run, what they manage well themselves and where support would genuinely help. From that we agree a plan in plain language, covering what we will do and when, and we revisit it as things change. Visits can be brief or extensive, covering personal care, medication, meals, housework, shopping, appointments and companionship. We keep the team around each person small so that people are not forever explaining themselves to somebody new, and our carers are trained for the particular needs they will meet rather than in generalities. Families matter in this work. We keep relatives informed, take their observations seriously and make sure someone can always be reached. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are weighing up care for yourself or for someone close to you, we are glad to talk it through without any pressure.

- Home Care
Caremark provides care at home across Reading and West Berkshire, supporting adults of all ages and a wide range of needs. We work with older adults and younger adults, people living with dementia, people with a learning disability and autistic adults, adults with mental health conditions, those with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment, people living with an eating disorder, and people in recovery from alcohol or drug misuse. Some of that is more specialised than home care is often assumed to be. Supporting somebody with an eating disorder means recognising that mealtimes may be the hardest part of their day and that the help around them has to be calm and free of pressure. Supporting somebody in recovery means staying steady through a difficult stretch rather than treating a setback as a failure. Staff working in those areas are prepared for them specifically. The wider job is the familiar substance of home care, and it stands or falls on reliability. Visits that happen when promised. The same person at the door. Medication handled properly. Privacy respected during personal care. Records that tell the truth. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are considering support at home in this area, get in touch and we will give you an honest view of whether we can help and, just as usefully, whether we cannot.

- Home Care
We are Enliva Homecare Reading and West Berkshire, and we support people in their own homes across Reading and the surrounding parts of West Berkshire. Our work happens in the places people already know best, their own kitchens, front rooms and gardens, and everything we do is shaped around keeping life there safe, comfortable and familiar. Much of our support is for older people who need a hand with washing and dressing, medication, meals or company through the day. We also visit younger adults, and we care for people living with dementia, mental health needs, a learning disability or autism, physical disability, and sight or hearing loss. Where someone is managing an eating disorder we work closely with them, their family and the health professionals involved so that mealtimes are handled calmly and consistently rather than becoming a daily battle. We try hard to keep the same faces coming through the door. Familiarity makes personal care easier to accept, and it means our carers notice quickly when something is not quite right, whether that is a change in appetite, a sore that needs attention or simply a low mood that has lasted too long. Care plans are written with the person rather than handed to them, and we revisit them when circumstances change instead of waiting for a review date. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are weighing up support at home for yourself or a relative, we are glad to talk it through and to be honest about what we can and cannot offer.

- Home Care
We at Health Support Berkshire are proud to offer compassionate home care across Reading and the surrounding Berkshire communities, bringing professional support directly into the place people love most: their own home. Serving families throughout the RG postcode area, our team is dedicated to helping individuals live safely, comfortably, and with dignity in familiar surroundings. As a home care agency rather than a residential setting, our environment is quite simply your environment. We come to you, whether that is a family house in a quiet Reading suburb, a flat in the town centre, or a bungalow on the outskirts. This means there is no upheaval, no unfamiliar corridors to navigate, and no need to leave behind the neighbours, gardens, and routines that make a house feel like home. Instead, our carers become a trusted, respectful presence within your existing space, working around your lifestyle, your preferences, and the rhythms of your household. Our care is shaped around a broad range of needs, allowing us to support people at many different stages of life. For older people, we provide the kind of thoughtful, patient assistance that helps daily living feel manageable again, whether that involves help with personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, or simply the reassurance of a friendly face checking in. For those living with dementia, our approach is calm, consistent, and person centred, focusing on preserving independence, honouring life history, and reducing the anxiety that unfamiliarity can cause. Consistency of carers, gentle routine, and clear communication with families all play an important part in this. We also support adults living with physical disabilities, working closely with each person to understand exactly how they wish to be assisted, whether that means help with mobility, personal care, or enabling participation in hobbies, appointments, and social life. Our support for younger adults is equally tailored, recognising that care at a younger age is often about empowerment, choice, and building the confidence to pursue goals, education, work, or community involvement. Whatever the age or diagnosis, our aim is the same: to enable, not to take over. For families, choosing home care can feel like a significant decision, and we understand the weight of that choice. Many of the people who contact us are adult children worried about a parent managing alone, spouses seeking a little respite, or individuals planning ahead after a change in health. We take the time to listen properly, to understand the whole person rather than just a list of tasks, and to build a plan of support that genuinely reflects what matters most to each household. As a newer or recently registered provider, Health Support Berkshire has not yet received a formal CQC rating. Whilst we look forward to our first inspection, families can be reassured that we operate under the same robust regulatory framework as every home care provider in England, meeting the Care Quality Commission's fundamental standards on safety, effectiveness, caring approach, responsiveness, and leadership. We welcome open conversations about our policies, our recruitment and training, and the way we quality assure the care we deliver, and we encourage prospective clients and their loved ones to ask us anything at all. If you are exploring home care in Reading for yourself or someone dear to you, we would be genuinely glad to hear from you. A gentle conversation costs nothing, and it may bring welcome clarity at a time when things can feel uncertain. Reach out to Health Support Berkshire when you are ready, and let us walk alongside you as you find the right support for the road ahead.

- Home Care
We at Creative Support Berkshire and Oxfordshire are a dedicated home care provider supporting people across Reading and the surrounding areas. As a specialist domiciliary care team, we bring compassionate, person centred support directly into the homes of adults living throughout the RG postcode area and beyond. Because our care is delivered in the place you know best, your own home, there is no clinical setting to adjust to. Instead, our team travels to you, weaving support around your daily routines, familiar surroundings, and the community you love. Reading offers a wonderful backdrop for independent living, with green spaces, local amenities, and strong transport links, and we work hard to help the people we support remain active participants in the town they call home. Our specialisms lie in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism, individuals with physical disabilities, and younger adults navigating the transition to greater independence. In practice, this means our support workers are experienced in tailoring care to each person's unique communication style, sensory needs, and personal goals. Whether that involves help with personal care, medication support, community access, developing life skills, or simply having a trusted companion for daily activities, we shape our approach around the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a fixed model. For families, this person led ethos brings genuine reassurance. We understand that entrusting someone with the care of a loved one, particularly a family member with complex needs, is a significant decision. That is why we prioritise clear communication, consistency of staff wherever possible, and a collaborative relationship with relatives, advocates, and other professionals involved in a person's life. Our aim is always to promote choice, dignity, and meaningful opportunities, whilst offering the practical support that makes independent living possible. We are proud to be rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, with Good ratings across all five inspection domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This independent endorsement reflects our ongoing commitment to safe practice, effective outcomes, genuine warmth in our caring relationships, responsiveness to changing needs, and strong leadership across the team. If you are exploring home care options in Reading for yourself or someone you love, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch to arrange a conversation about how we might support your family. Whatever the next step looks like, we are here to listen, to answer your questions, and to help you feel confident about the choices ahead.

- Home Care
We provide support at home across Berkshire, working from Reading. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairments. Much of our work is supported living, which means the house or flat belongs to the person rather than to us. We come in to help with whatever makes living there possible, and the aim is always that somebody runs their own life as far as they are able to. In practice that means the unglamorous things that make independence real: managing a tenancy, dealing with letters and bills, handling money, shopping and cooking, keeping appointments, getting to work or college, and having staff alongside when something feels beyond facing alone. We ask what a person wants their life to look like before we suggest anything, and we expect to revise what we do as things change. Consistency of staff counts for a great deal, particularly for autistic people, so we keep our teams as settled as we can and try not to change arrangements without warning and explanation. Our staff are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and have senior colleagues they can reach. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking for support of this kind, please get in touch.

- Home Care
Here at Chiron Care, we provide home care support to people in Reading and across Berkshire, helping individuals live comfortably and independently in their own homes. We work with younger adults, including those living with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health conditions, and we tailor our support around each person's needs, routines, and goals rather than fitting people into a rigid structure. We understand that inviting a care provider into your home is a significant decision, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our focus is on building genuine, consistent relationships between our care workers and the people they support. When someone feels at ease with the people around them, everything else tends to follow, and that consistency matters enormously, particularly for individuals with autism or mental health needs where familiarity and reliability can make a real difference to daily life. Our approach to learning disability and autism support is person centred in the truest sense. We take time to understand how someone communicates, what environments they find comfortable, and what their version of a good day looks like. That understanding shapes how we show up and how we work alongside each individual and their families or circles of support. For those living with mental health conditions, we aim to offer steady, non judgemental support that helps people manage day to day life without feeling watched or managed. We want the people we support to feel respected and in control of their own choices. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission, and we remain committed to open, honest communication with the people we support, their families, and the professionals involved in their care. If you would like to find out whether Chiron Care could be the right fit for you or someone you care about, we would be very glad to have that conversation.

GoodOaks Homecare Reading and West Berkshire supports people in their own homes across Wokingham, Reading and the surrounding area. We work with older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental ill health, adults with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Home care should fit around a life that already exists rather than rearrange it. We begin by asking how the day usually runs, what has become difficult and what somebody can still do perfectly well and would rather keep doing. People are often very specific about that, and getting it right at the start is what makes support feel like help rather than an intrusion. Visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals, help around the house and getting out to appointments or into town. For some people we also provide longer periods of company, which matters more than it is sometimes given credit for. Continuity of carer is central to how we work rather than a nice extra. A familiar face who knows the house, the routine and the person makes a visit work in a way nobody new can, and that is most true where dementia is involved. We keep families informed where the person wants that, and we raise concerns early rather than waiting for a review. Please get in touch to talk things through.

- Home Care
We are a home care agency supporting people in Crowthorne and across Bracknell Forest. Our carers visit people at home, at times agreed with them, and help with the parts of daily life that have become difficult to manage alone. What that looks like varies a great deal. It might be help with washing and dressing, support with medication, preparing meals, keeping the house in order, or getting out to appointments and back again. For some of the people we visit, the greatest value in a call is that somebody has arrived, sat down and taken an interest. We support older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Each of those asks something slightly different from us, and we would rather adapt than offer everybody the same package. Plans are agreed with the person receiving care and, if they wish, with their family. We review them as circumstances change, and we raise concerns promptly with the people who need to know. We aim to keep the same carers visiting the same households, because trust takes time to build and is worth protecting once it exists. If you would like to discuss support in this area, we are glad to talk it through with no obligation.

Operating throughout North Hampshire and West Berkshire, our team covers a broad area from our Newbury base, reaching families across town and in the villages nearby. Because care is delivered in your own home, the environment is always familiar, comforting, and shaped around the routines, memories, and personal touches that make a house feel like home. We simply add the support that helps daily life flow more easily. Our care is built around the individual, and we offer a breadth of specialisms designed to meet a wide range of needs. We provide Older Person Care for those who value their independence but appreciate a helping hand with daily tasks, alongside dedicated Dementia Care delivered by carers trained to offer patience, reassurance, and gentle structure. For adults living with a Learning Disability or Autism, we focus on enabling choice, confidence, and meaningful daily routines. We also support people with a Physical Disability, those with Visual or Hearing Impairment, and Younger Adults whose needs may differ from traditional care pathways. In practice, this means families can expect a tailored plan of support — whether that is assistance with personal care, medication, mobility, companionship, meal preparation, or simply a friendly, familiar face at the door — all delivered with dignity and respect. We are proud that the Care Quality Commission has rated us Good overall, with ratings of Good across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains, and an Outstanding rating for being Well led. For families, this independent assessment offers genuine reassurance: it reflects strong leadership, a culture of continuous improvement, and a team committed to delivering safe, effective, and kind care. The Outstanding recognition for leadership is particularly meaningful, as it shapes everything from how carers are trained and supported to how we listen and respond to the people we serve. Choosing care for someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that responsibility. If you are exploring home care options in Newbury, North Hampshire, or West Berkshire, we warmly invite you to get in touch.

For many families, this continuity is the greatest gift of all. Our specialisms reflect the diverse needs of the community we serve. We support older people, including those living with dementia, helping them to maintain independence whilst offering reassurance to relatives who may live further afield.

We additionally extend support to those affected by alcohol or drug misuse, offering steady, non judgemental care during what can be a vulnerable chapter. In practice, this means listening carefully before we act. It means agreeing visit times that suit the household, building trusted relationships with the same familiar faces wherever possible, and adapting as needs evolve. Whether that involves help with personal care, medication prompts, support around the home, companionship, or simply a reassuring presence during the day, our aim is to lighten the load for the whole family.

Operating throughout the Newbury area and wider RG postcode region, our team brings care directly to the people who need it. Rather than asking individuals to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, we step into the rhythm of each person's daily life, working within the comfort of their own surroundings, neighbourhood, and community. For many of the people we support, this continuity is everything. Familiar walls, treasured belongings, local shops, and nearby family all play an important role in wellbeing, and our role is to enhance that life rather than disrupt it. Our specialism in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism shapes everything we do. We understand that good support in this area is never one size fits all. It requires patience, consistency, careful communication, and a genuine willingness to learn how each person experiences the world. In practice, this means our team takes time to understand individual routines, sensory preferences, communication styles, and personal goals. Whether someone needs help with daily living tasks, support to access the community, encouragement to develop independence, or simply a reliable companion through the week, we shape our approach around the person rather than the other way around. For families, this person centred approach offers real reassurance. Choosing care for a loved one with a learning disability or autism often comes with deep concerns about trust, consistency, and whether their family member will truly be understood. We work hard to build relationships not only with the people we support but also with the families who love them, keeping communication open and honest so that everyone feels confident in the care being provided. We know that small details matter enormously, and we treat every routine, preference, and personal milestone with the respect it deserves. The Care Quality Commission has rated our service Good across all five inspection areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This consistent rating reflects the standards we hold ourselves to every day. It tells families that our care is delivered safely, that it achieves good outcomes, that our team is warm and respectful, that we adapt to changing needs, and that our leadership culture supports staff to do their best work. For anyone weighing up options, an across the board Good rating offers meaningful peace of mind. If you are exploring home care for a family member in Newbury or the wider West Berkshire area, particularly someone living with a learning disability or autism, we would be glad to talk with you. Choosing support is a significant decision, and we are here to listen, answer your questions, and explore together whether our approach is the right fit for your loved one.

Adjoy Healthcare Berkshire provides home care to adults in Newbury and the surrounding part of Berkshire. We support older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autism, people with physical disabilities, and people who have sight or hearing loss. Everything begins with what the person wants their day to look like. From there the support might include help with washing and dressing, medicines, meals, the household and shopping, or it might be about getting out to work, college, appointments and the places somebody likes to go. For younger adults it is frequently about building the practical skills independent living demands, and there we count it a success when we are needed less as time goes on. We put real effort into continuity. Being helped with personal care by somebody you have never met is a genuinely difficult thing to accept, so we keep the team around each person small and let you know in advance when it has to change. Where somebody communicates in their own way, or has sight or hearing loss, we learn how they prefer to be approached rather than expecting them to adapt to us. We write plans in the person's own words rather than as a list of tasks that suits our rota, and we revisit them whenever circumstances change.

- Home Care
We at Visiting Angels Home Care Berkshire are proud to offer compassionate home care across Slough and the surrounding Berkshire communities, supporting people to live well and safely in the place they know best: their own home. Based in the SL postcode area, our team works throughout Slough and the wider local authority, bringing personalised care directly to the doorsteps of those who need it. Because our support is delivered in your own familiar surroundings, there is no need to adjust to a new environment or leave behind the comforts, memories, and routines that make a house a home. Whether you live in a family property, a bungalow, or a flat, our carers come to you, fitting gently into the rhythm of daily life. Our specialisms reflect the breadth of need within the community we serve. We provide dedicated older person care for those who wish to maintain their independence with a little extra support, and thoughtful dementia care designed around consistency, patience, and genuine understanding of each individual's story. For adults living with mental health challenges, physical disabilities, or visual and hearing impairments, we adapt our approach so that communication, dignity, and comfort remain at the heart of every visit. We also support younger adults, recognising that care is not defined by age but by the desire to live life fully, on one's own terms. In practice, this means our carers do far more than assist with the tasks of daily living. Yes, we help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility, and household routines, but we also offer companionship, a listening ear, and the reassurance that someone reliable is walking alongside you. For families, this often brings the greatest relief of all: knowing that a loved one is not only safe but genuinely seen and valued. We work closely with relatives, keeping communication open so that everyone involved feels informed, included, and confident in the care being provided. As a newer presence within the Care Quality Commission's inspection framework, Visiting Angels Home Care Berkshire has not yet received a formal CQC rating. Whilst this means there is no published inspection outcome to share at present, we remain fully registered and committed to meeting and exceeding the standards expected of a regulated home care provider. We welcome open conversations about our approach, our carers, and the values that guide our everyday practice, and we encourage families to ask questions so they can feel completely at ease with their choice. Choosing care for yourself or someone you love is one of the most personal decisions a family can make. If you are exploring home care options in Slough and would like to talk with a team that listens first and cares deeply, we would be delighted to hear from you. Reach out at your own pace, share what matters most, and let us help you take the next step with warmth, honesty, and reassurance.

- Home Care
Heritage Healthcare Berkshire provides support at home to adults in Windsor, Maidenhead and the surrounding area. The people we work with include older people who need help to stay in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults who need support to live independently. Those are different kinds of support and we do not issue everybody the same package. For older people and people living with dementia, the priority is usually continuity and reliability: the same carers, arriving when they said they would, allowed enough time to do things properly rather than against the clock. For younger adults and people with a learning disability, it is more often about independence, whether that means cooking, handling money, getting to work or college, or keeping up with friends. For people with sight or hearing loss we adapt how we announce ourselves and explain what we are doing, because being unable to follow what is happening around you is isolating in a way that is easy to underestimate. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk about what would help.

- Home Care
We are County Care Berkshire, a home care agency based in Windsor. We support people in their own homes across the area, including people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and people with a physical disability. Care at home is not care delivered in a smaller building. It happens in somebody else's space, on their terms, and we are there by invitation. That shapes the practical side of how we work: asking before we move anything, putting things back where they belong, fitting the visit around the household rather than expecting the household to work around us. For people living with dementia, continuity is not a preference but a condition of the work. A familiar carer makes a visit possible where an unfamiliar one, however skilled, may not. We build our rotas around that and accept the extra difficulty it creates for us. For autistic people and adults with learning disabilities, predictability matters just as much. Saying what will happen and when, and then being right about it, does more than any amount of reassurance. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.

- Home Care
We at Advance Bedfordshire and Berkshire are proud to offer compassionate home care across Luton and the surrounding areas, bringing professional support directly into the places our clients know and love best: their own homes. As a home care agency serving the LU postcode area and wider Luton community, we understand that remaining in familiar surroundings can make an enormous difference to a person's wellbeing, confidence and quality of life. Our team travels to clients across the town, delivering tailored support that fits seamlessly into daily routines, whether that means a short morning visit or more comprehensive assistance throughout the day. Our care covers a broad spectrum of needs, reflecting the diverse community we support. We provide dedicated older person care for those who wish to continue living independently at home, alongside specialist support for adults living with learning disabilities or autism. We also work with individuals experiencing mental health challenges, those with physical disabilities, and younger adults who require personalised assistance to live the lives they choose. For families, this breadth means one trusted provider can often meet evolving needs over time, offering continuity and peace of mind during what can feel like an uncertain journey. In practice, our support is shaped around each person as an individual. That might mean helping a client with personal care and medication in the morning, supporting someone with autism to engage confidently with their community, or providing reassurance and companionship to a person managing their mental health. We recognise that trust is earned through consistency, kindness and truly listening, and these values guide every visit we make. Our CQC rating is currently listed as Not Yet Rated, which simply means the Care Quality Commission has not yet completed a formal inspection of this location. We would warmly encourage families to get in touch directly so we can share more about our approach, our team and the standards we hold ourselves to every day. Choosing care for a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make. If you are exploring home care options in Luton for yourself or someone dear to you, we would be delighted to have a conversation, answer your questions and help you understand how we might support your family. Please reach out whenever you feel ready; we are here to listen.

Arranging and funding home care in Berkshire
With a single registered agency showing for this area and care type, the useful work lies less in comparing options than in knowing what to ask of any agency you approach, here or nearby. Home care is bought in visits, and its quality shows up in small cumulative things: whether the carer arrives when they said, whether they know the person's routine without being reminded, and whether anyone notices when something changes. Those are the things to test.
Where an Agency Has No Published Rating
An agency without a rating has generally registered too recently to have been inspected, which is quite different from having been judged poorly. Where that is the case, the questions do the work the rating cannot. Ask how long the service has been operating, who the registered manager is and how long they have held the post, how many people it currently supports, and what its own monitoring of late or missed calls shows. Ask whether it can put you in touch with families already using it. An agency comfortable answering all of that is telling you something useful about how it is run.
Continuity and Reliability
Ask how many different carers a person would ordinarily see across a fortnight. A small rota of familiar faces works; a large one rarely does, particularly where memory problems mean someone must explain themselves at every visit. Ask how sickness and annual leave are covered, how late a call must run before the office telephones to warn you, and what happens when a visit is missed altogether. Ask how calls are logged and whether relatives can see those records.
Widening the Search
Because only one agency is registered against this area and care type, it is sensible to look at adjoining areas from the outset rather than treating them as a second option. Agencies frequently cover a wider radius than the area they are listed under, so ask directly whether a service can reach the address in question, and at what times of day. That single question often opens up a far longer list than a page like this one suggests.
Choosing between home care agencies in Berkshire
The Care Needs Assessment
Anyone who appears to need support at home can ask for a free care needs assessment, whatever their savings, because this stage is not means tested. Where the person lives in its area, the assessment is arranged through Reading Borough Council adult social care, the authority responsible for assessing what support a person needs and for arranging funded care where they are eligible. The assessment records how many visits are required and what each should achieve, and agencies quote against that document.
Paying for Visits
A financial assessment then examines income and capital to decide whether the council contributes, meets the cost in full, or whether the family arranges care privately. People whose care is funded often take a direct payment and buy their own, which allows a choice of agency rather than an allocation. Rates are charged by the hour or the visit and typically rise at weekends, on bank holidays and where two carers are needed, so ask for that in writing before agreeing anything.
Frequently asked questions about home care in Berkshire
Which providers in Berkshire offer home care?
One agency is currently registered against this area and care type to deliver personal care in people's own homes, and it appears on this page. It has not yet received a first published inspection rating, which normally reflects recent registration rather than any concern. Because the list is so short, it is worth approaching agencies registered in adjoining areas as well, since many cover a wider radius than the area they are listed under. The listing opens into a profile showing what has been published so far.
What is the difference between home care and a care home?
Home care brings support to someone in their own home through scheduled visits, so their routine and surroundings stay their own between calls. A residential care home provides accommodation with personal care available throughout the day and night, which suits people no longer safe alone for long periods. A nursing home goes further still, keeping qualified nurses on site for clinical needs such as wound care or injections. The provider listed on this page delivers care in people's own homes rather than in a residential setting.
What should I ask when choosing a home care agency in Berkshire?
Ask how many different carers would visit over a typical fortnight, because continuity matters more to most people than anything else. Find out the minimum visit length, how sickness and leave are covered, and what happens when a call is missed entirely. Where an agency has no published rating, ask how long it has operated, who the registered manager is and what its own monitoring of late calls shows. Ask for the full rate card including weekends, bank holidays and calls needing two carers.
How do I arrange a care needs assessment in Berkshire?
Contact the adult social care team at the council for the area where the person lives and ask for a care needs assessment; for residents of its area that is Reading Borough Council. The assessment is free and is not means tested, so savings and income do not affect the right to have one. Anyone providing regular unpaid care can also request a separate carer assessment of their own. Ask for the outcome in writing, since agencies quote against the visits it records.
Can Reading Borough Council fund home care?
It can, for people living in its area who have been assessed as needing support at home and whose financial assessment shows they qualify for help with the cost. Reading Borough Council carries out both stages, agreeing the support required and then reviewing income and capital to work out any contribution. Some people receive fully funded care, some pay a share of the hourly rate, and many arrange and pay for care privately. Those who are funded can often take a direct payment and choose their own agency.
How far ahead should I start arranging home care in Berkshire?
Home care can usually begin more quickly than a move into residential care, but two to four weeks allows time for the assessment, for meeting an agency and for agreeing a care plan properly. Where the local list is as short as this one, start earlier still and contact agencies in neighbouring areas at the same time. If a hospital discharge is driving the timing, say so, because those referrals are handled differently. Beginning early also leaves room to change agency if the first arrangement does not suit.
