Home Help in Findon: Costs, Funding and 46 Local Agencies (Oct 2026)

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 Arun council what low-cost services exist.

How people pay for home help

Most people pay privately, by the hour. Arun 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.
