Lottie's Guide to Home Care in Reading

Our Care Experts are here to make the process of finding home care in Reading simpler, starting with quality-checking all the above listings. Every provider we partner with is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), with some rated 'Outstanding' (the highest rating available), such as Caremark - West Berkshire, Reading and South Oxfordshire.

Visiting home care in Reading typically costs between £20 and £30 per hour. Hourly visits are ideal for flexible day-to-day support, which could include personal care, meal prep, other household tasks, or simply catching up over a hot drink and a biscuit.

People often choose live-in care for more complex needs, and this averages £200-£250 per day. Overnight care is ideal for those needing assistance during the night, while live-in care provides round-the-clock support for those with higher care needs, such as reduced mobility or dementia.

Wherever you are in the Reading area - Tilehurst, Caversham, Woodley, or elsewhere - we’re here to help you take the next step with confidence. If you’re unsure where to start, our Care Experts can send you a free, carefully curated shortlist of home care providers in Reading, with options to suit your key requirements.
