Home help in Hyde

Help with housework, shopping, meals and errands, often alongside a chat and a cup of tea: that is home help, and it keeps many older people independent for longer. None has confirmed it to us yet, so ask the 204 CQC-registered agencies covering Hyde directly.

Key points

  • 204 home care agencies registered with CQC have an office within 7 miles of Hyde, and 94 of them hold a Good or Outstanding rating.
  • Ask Tameside council for a care needs assessment, which is free.
  • Which agencies provide home help is not on the CQC register, so ask each one.
  • Home help is usually charged by the hour; visiting care here typically costs around £32–£34 an hour, and housework-only help can cost a little less.

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 Tameside council what low-cost services exist. Getting assessed by Tameside council.

How people pay for home help

Most people pay privately, by the hour. Tameside 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 Hyde: common questions

Who provides home help in Hyde?

204 agencies on the CQC register have an office within 7 miles of Hyde, and 94 hold a Good or Outstanding rating. Which of them provide home help is not recorded by CQC: ask them.

How much does home help cost in Hyde?

Home help is usually charged by the hour, at or a little below the local rate for visiting care. Ask each agency for its hourly rate, minimum visit length and any weekend charges in writing.

Can I get home help from the council?

Sometimes, if Tameside council's care needs assessment finds eligible needs and practical help is part of meeting them. Help with housework alone often does not qualify, so many people use Attendance Allowance, which is not means-tested, to pay privately.

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 Hyde?

89% Good or Outstanding (94 of 106 rated). 17 were inspected or rated within two years, and 157 are registered for dementia.
