About Home4Care

We at Home4Care are proud to offer compassionate home care across Oswestry and the surrounding Shropshire communities, supporting individuals to live safely, comfortably, and independently in the place they know best: their own home. Based in the SY postcode area, we are ideally positioned to reach families throughout Oswestry and the wider West Midlands region. Our team understands the rhythms of local life here, from the quiet villages on the Welsh border to the busy heart of the town itself. By delivering care within familiar surroundings, we help those we support to remain connected to their neighbourhoods, their routines, and the people and places that matter most to them. Our approach is thoughtfully tailored to each individual we visit. We provide older person care and dementia care for those who benefit from patient, reassuring support with daily living, whether that involves personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, or simply gentle companionship through the day. For families navigating the challenges of memory loss, we aim to bring calm, consistency, and understanding into the home, allowing loved ones to remain in their own environment for as long as possible. We also support younger adults and those living with learning disabilities or autism, helping them to build confidence, develop independence, and enjoy meaningful daily routines. Our mental health support is centred on dignity and empathy, walking alongside individuals through periods of difficulty with steadiness and respect. For people living with physical disabilities or with visual and hearing impairments, we adapt our care to remove barriers and enable participation in the activities that bring purpose and joy. In practice, this means our care is never one size fits all. We take the time to listen to each person and their family, understanding preferences, life histories, and personal goals before shaping a plan of support that feels genuinely theirs. Families can expect open communication, a reliable presence, and carers who treat every home they enter with warmth and respect. Home4Care is currently awaiting its first Care Quality Commission inspection and therefore does not yet hold a published CQC rating. Whilst we look forward to welcoming inspectors and demonstrating the standards we uphold, we remain fully committed to the principles the CQC promotes: safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well led support for every person we visit. Families are welcome to ask us about our policies, training, and quality assurance practices at any time. 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 Oswestry or the surrounding Shropshire area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. We would be delighted to answer your questions, listen to your circumstances, and explore together how we might support your family with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care.

Frequently asked questions

What is CareAssura?

CareAssura is a free online directory of every CQC registered care home, nursing home and home care agency in England. We bring CQC ratings, detailed provider profiles, fees guidance and independent information together in one place so families can search, compare and shortlist care with confidence. Whether you are planning ahead or arranging care urgently, you can explore options by location, care type and specialist need, then contact providers directly once you have found the right fit.

Is CareAssura free to use?

Yes. CareAssura is completely free for families and individuals looking for care. You can search, browse full profiles, compare settings side by side, read reviews and make enquiries at no cost. The service is funded by care providers who choose to enhance their own listings, so families never pay to use it.

Are all care homes on CareAssura CQC registered?

Yes. CareAssura only lists care settings registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. Every profile shows the provider's most recent overall CQC rating of Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement or Inadequate, along with the individual ratings for safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness and leadership where these are available. This lets you judge quality at a glance and explore the detail before you visit.

How do I find a care home near me?

Enter a town, city or postcode in the search bar on our homepage and we will show the care settings nearest to you. You can then filter by care type, by CQC rating, and by specialist needs such as dementia, respite or learning disability support. Each result links to a full profile with photos, facilities, fees guidance and contact details, so you can build a shortlist and reach out to the providers that suit your situation.

What is the difference between a care home and a nursing home?

A care home, sometimes called a residential care home, provides personal care such as help with washing, dressing, meals and daily living, alongside companionship and activities. A nursing home offers all of this plus qualified nurses on site around the clock, so it can support people with complex, ongoing or changing medical needs. If you are unsure which is right, the care types listed on each profile show exactly what that provider is registered to deliver.

When does someone need a nursing home rather than residential care?

A nursing home is usually the right choice when someone has medical needs that require regular attention from a qualified nurse, for example complex medication, wound care, PEG feeding, or conditions such as advanced dementia, Parkinson's or the later stages of a long term illness. Many people move from residential to nursing care as their needs increase. If a needs assessment identifies a primary health need, you may also be eligible for NHS funded nursing care or NHS Continuing Healthcare.

How much do nursing homes cost in England?

Nursing home fees vary by region and by the level of care required, and are typically higher than residential care because of the round the clock nursing provided. As a general guide, weekly fees often range from around £950 to £1,600 or more. Where a registered nurse is needed, the NHS may contribute a weekly Funded Nursing Care payment towards the nursing element. Our Funding Calculator and FNC Calculator can help you estimate likely costs and any support you may receive.

What is a home care agency?

A home care agency, also known as a domiciliary care agency, provides trained carers who visit a person in their own home to support daily life. This can range from a short daily visit helping with washing, dressing, medication and meals, through to several visits a day or live in care. Home care helps people stay independent in familiar surroundings for longer, and like care homes, agencies in England are registered with and inspected by the CQC.

Is home care cheaper than a care home?

It depends on how much support is needed. For a few hours of help a week, home care is usually more affordable than moving into a care home. As needs grow towards several visits a day or live in care, the cost can become similar to, or higher than, residential care. Home care also lets a person keep their own home, which many families prefer. We list CQC registered home care agencies so you can compare local options and their ratings.

How do I choose a good home care agency?

Start by checking the agency's CQC rating and reading its profile and reviews on CareAssura. Look at the range of support offered, whether they can provide consistent carers, how they handle medication and emergencies, and whether they cover your area. It helps to write down the specific tasks and times you need, then speak to two or three agencies to compare their approach, availability and fees before you decide.

Can I start with home care and move to a care home later?

Yes, and many families do exactly that. Home care is often the first step, increasing as needs change, with a move to a residential or nursing home later if round the clock support becomes necessary. Because CareAssura lists residential, nursing and home care providers together, you can plan the whole journey in one place and keep your shortlist updated as circumstances change.
