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 West Sussex council what low-cost services exist. How to ask West Sussex council for an assessment.

How people pay for home help

Most people pay privately, by the hour. West Sussex 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.

Which home care agencies offer home help in Yapton?

40 agencies on the CQC register have an office within 7 miles of Yapton, and 30 hold a Good or Outstanding rating. Which of them provide home help is not recorded by CQC: ask them.

What does home help cost in Yapton?

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.

Will the council fund help with housework?
