What is the Help at HomeService? Our Help at Home Service is designed to help support older clients with general household tasks, thus enabling them to maintain their independence in a home of their own choosing.

If there is anything else that a client needs help with, we would be prepared to discuss it with them, but we are unable to provide help with personal care or transport. Who provides the actual service? Our team of Home Workers are in fact self employed but Age UK Bromsgrove recruits them to the team, asks them to provide references and to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau check, offers them training and provides then with insurance cover and basic health and safety equipment. Clients are then matched to a suitable Home Worker from our team. Once a Home Worker has been matched with one or more Clients a member of staff from Age UK Bromsgrove keeps in touch with both Client and Home Worker and offers support as required. How often can Home Workers call? The length of time each Home Worker spends with each client is negotiable as is the day of the week on which they visit the Client. How much does the service cost?

Clients do not receive any assistance from Social Services Department with these payments. Who can use the Help at Home Service? You can take advantage of this service if:
