Home help: the usual tasks

  • Cleaning, laundry, ironing and changing beds
  • Shopping and collecting prescriptions
  • Preparing meals
  • Post, bills and appointments
  • Company and trips out

Washing, dressing and medication are personal care, which must come from a CQC-registered home care agency.

Who provides home help

Choose a home care agency if personal care may be needed later, because the same carers can take it on. For housework alone, a cleaner or a local help-at-home scheme may cost less, though these are not CQC-regulated. Ask local charities and Kirklees council what low-cost services exist. Getting assessed by Kirklees council.

How people pay for home help

Most people pay privately, by the hour. Kirklees council can fund practical help only where it is part of meeting eligible needs after an assessment, which housework alone rarely is. Many older people use Attendance Allowance to cover it. More: home help for the elderly and the difference between home help and home care.

Home help in Mirfield: common questions

Who provides home help in Mirfield?

CQC does not record which agencies provide home help. 72 CQC-registered home care agencies have an office within 7 miles of Mirfield; 42 are rated Good or Outstanding. Ask each whether it provides home help.

How much is a home help per hour in Mirfield?

Expect an hourly charge close to the local visiting care rate, sometimes slightly less for housework only. Check the minimum visit length and weekend rates before you book.

Does the council pay for home help?

Only as part of meeting eligible needs after an assessment by Kirklees council; housework on its own rarely qualifies. Attendance Allowance, which ignores savings, is often used to pay for home help.

Is home help the same as home care?

No. Home help is practical help with housework, shopping and errands. Home care, or personal care, includes help with washing, dressing, eating and medication, and must be provided by an agency registered with the Care Quality Commission.

How good are home care agencies around Mirfield?

79% Good or Outstanding (42 of 53 rated). 25 were inspected or rated within two years, and 61 are registered for dementia.
