Description

HomeCareDirect offer a third party service 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 caters for anyone who needs care, including older people, children and young people, people with learning disabilities, people with mental health issues and people with physical disabilities and/or sensory impairments. The service from HomeCareDirect can include all specialist services to meet the needs of all individuals.

Alongside help and advice on securing funding, assessment support and support planning, setting up individualised care packages and a dedicated care support officer to help manage packages on a day-to-day basis, HomeCareDirect also provide a 24/7 telephone service and a local support manager, all to ensure everything runs smoothly.  HomeCareDirect is a national service and we are proud to be helping hundreds of people nationwide to live independently in their own home.

We employ a staff team to work specifically with one individual.  Therefore due to the nature of our unique service we have a minimum service level of 10 hours a week.  However we would be happy to discuss this further and in more details with anyone who might require our services.

With our Local Independent Living Nurse and our Local Communities Officer Gary Smelt, we have a truly local approach and cover the whole of Kirklees - Colne Valley, Hulme Valley, Huddersfield North and South, Denby Dale and Kirkburton, Dewsbury and Mirfield, Spen, Batley, Birstall and Birkenshaw.
