HomeCareDirect help people up and down the country to take control over their care at home, either through a personal budget, personal health budget, direct payment or for people who pay for their care themselves. Imagine being able to choose your own personal assistants to provide your care at home and then organising them around your own routine - with HomeCareDirect that's a reality! The service acts as a one stop shop for people looking to take control over their care at home and direct their own support, enabling people to focus on living their lives, in the way they want. One of the main barriers to self-directed support is that people are daunted by the responsibilities of employing their own personal assistant team. Therefore, HomeCareDirect act as a third party and employ your chosen personal assistants on your behalf. You'll still have all the same choice and control yet you won't have to take on the responsibility (and sometimes the hassles!) of being an employer. HomeCareDirect are a national service working with older people, children, people with learning disabilities, people with mental health issues and people with physical disabilities and/or sensory impairments.
