We provide older adults in Hayes, Hillingdon, Northwood, Ruislip and Uxbridge with assistance around the home, and social, emotional and physical support.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive, cost effective alternative to placing your loved one into an assisted living facility, hourly home care (otherwise known as ‘in-home care’) is definitely worth considering. The emotional strain associated with moving away from the familiarity and comfort of home can sometimes lead to mental and physical decline, further loss of independence and diminished quality of life.
In contrast, hourly home care (where you pay for in-home care by the hour) allows your loved one to stay in the comfort of their own home whilst benefiting from social, emotional and physical support from an experienced carer.
What’s more, by utilising an hourly home care service or in-home care, the amount of care provided can be increased or reduced over time to suit evolving needs.
Our hourly home care service is reliable, flexible and highly-personalised, prioritising each client’s interests above all else. We treat service users as part of our extended family and aim to become an indispensable part of their support network.

We, as a family, would have no hesitation in recommending the owner and his team at LifeCare Plus to other care service users. Their professional approach and understanding of our requirements have exceeded expectations.
Daughter
My mum receives excellent care from LifeCare Plus. Carers arrive on time, professionally dressed and assist mum to go to the toilet and getting in bed.
They are always friendly and courteous and attentive to mum’s needs.

My friend has a LifeCare Plus carer every day for one hour to help with personal care. The carers are friendly, professional and my friend really enjoys their visits. LifeCare Plus has made a huge difference to my friend’s quality of life.

After contacting many local agencies, we decided to opt for LifeCare Plus. We found the main carer to be both experienced and kind natured. The care she has given has been of enormous benefit. She is also prompt and courteous at all times.
Hourly Home Care FAQs

According to this release, the minimum fee rate for the procurement of homecare by local authorities and the NHS has been set at £25.95 per hour. This rate ensures adherence to the National Living Wage of £10.42 per hour and facilitates the provision of sustainable, top-notch, regulated homecare services.
What is hourly care?

It is a highly adaptable and flexible form of professional care that can be beneficial for individuals in need of some assistance.
What is the difference between live in care and hourly care? ExpandLive-in care involves a caregiver residing in the person’s home to provide continuous assistance, while hourly care provides support on a scheduled basis for specific tasks without a caregiver residing in the home.
How much does home care cost per hour UK? ExpandThe cost of home care services, also referred to as domiciliary care and in-home care, is subject to variation based on geographical location. However, it is reasonable to anticipate an average hourly expense of £20 to £30 for in-home care.
