Top 20 home care awards
Demand for home care has risen over recent years. An increasing number of people are choosing to receive care and support in their own homes, so they can stay living independently in familiar surroundings where they have many happy memories and a network of friends and family.
Over a million disabled and older people in the UK receive home care and get support and assistance with washing and dressing, taking medication and preparing drinks and meals.
In England, around a quarter of people pay for their own home care while the rest receive home care that is funded by their local authority. Personal care is free in Scotland and in Wales home care costs are capped at £100 a week, regardless of the cost of the care package.
With an ageing population, the number of people receiving home care is set to increase.
By 2072, the number of people aged 65+ in the UK could rise to 22.1 million, making up 27% of the population, according to the ONS’s population projections.
This is why homecare.co.uk’s Top 20 awards are so important. They help people find high-quality care based on reviews from people receiving home care, plus their friends and relatives.
There are over 13,000 home care providers in Britain offering this vital service which is why selecting the right home care for someone’s needs can be very time consuming. This is why the leading home care reviews site, homecare.co.uk, runs the Top 20 home care awards, which helps people find a care provider they can trust which is right for their budget and their needs.
‘Good quality home care is vital’
Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk, said: “Top quality home care is vital as it supports people so they can continue living in their own homes and retain their independence.
People who are less mobile due to illness, a disability or age can become hidden away from society. When this happens their home care worker often plays a crucial role in keeping them both mentally and physically well.
“Our reviews and Top 20 awards are a vital source of information for people looking for good quality home care and provide a crucial insight into the standard of care given by providers.“
Top 20 awards are based on thousands of reviews
The awards are decided by sifting through thousands of reviews of home care providers looking at elements such as their overall standard, staff and quality of management as well as whether they are value for money and the quality of care and support.
homecare.co.uk is a reviews site, that lists all registered UK home care providers, which helps people search for the right home care provider.
