Home Care Advice

In this category you can find articles relating to home care advice. Many people prefer to receive care at home when they get older, or for health reasons at any age. Our articles have information on how to find the right type of care at home for you, how much you can expect to pay for your care, how it may affect your state pension, and what help you can get with home care services costs for your local council or social services department.

We understand that finding care for yourself or your loved one can be incredibly stressful; particularly if you don’t know anything about the care available in your area, how it works or what it costs. It can be very confusing, but we’re here to help. We offer a care needs assessment as a starting point and go from there.

Great Park Homecare offer a variety of domiciliary care and support options including personal care, care for older people, care for people with dementia, long term or short term care, live-in care, care for those that need a little companionship day to day and much more.

You can also find details of our latest reports from the Care Quality Commission in our home care advice. The CQC are the independent regulator of all health and social care services across England. Their job is to ensure that the care provided in our clients’ homes meets the National Standards of quality and safety.
