What home care looks like in Nottinghamshire
Home care — sometimes called domiciliary care — covers a wide range of support delivered to someone in their own home. In Nottinghamshire, the CQC has 205 registered home-care providers. Of those, 100 are rated Good or Outstanding. The average family arranges between 7 and 28 hours of care a week, depending on whether the recipient needs companionship, hands-on personal care, or live-in support.
Cost varies by region and service type. As a rule of thumb, hourly rates in east midlands sit between £20 and £35 in 2026, with a small premium for evenings, weekends, and specialist care like dementia or palliative support.

Who pays for home care in the UK? A 2026 funding guide
Home care in the UK is funded through four main routes: NHS Continuing Healthcare (for those with a primary health need), local authority social care (means-tested), fully self-funded arrangements, and state benefits like Attendance Allowance that can help offset costs. Understanding which applies — and in what combination — can mean the difference between thousands of pounds a year in funded support and paying for everything yourself. This guide explains each route, the eligibility thresholds, and the questions worth asking now.

20 questions to ask before picking a home-care agency
Choosing a home care agency is a significant decision, and most families make it under time pressure, without a clear framework for what to ask. These 20 questions — grouped by care quality, carer training, visit logistics, cost, communication, and safeguarding — are drawn from the CQC's own assessment framework and from what families most often say they wish they had asked. For each question, we explain what a strong answer sounds like and what should give you pause.
- comparison
Live-in care, visiting care, or a care home? How to choose
The three main care models for older people in England — visiting home care, live-in care, and residential care homes — differ significantly in cost, daily experience, and what level of need they suit. Visiting care starts from around £24 per hour; live-in care typically costs £900–£1,500 per week; care homes range from £900 to £1,800 per week. But the right choice is rarely just about cost. This guide lays out what daily life looks like under each model, who each suits, what nobody tells you about the downsides, and a decision framework to help.
