Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland is a local, independent charity working to improve the quality of life for older people within Leicestershire & Rutland. Their headquarters are in Leicester, but we operate and offer services throughout the region.

At times you may need a little help because of age, illness or disability to remain comfortable and safe at home.
Our team of award-winning workers can provide all the support and assistance you need, tailoring the package of care to support you or your loved one.

Tasks we can help you with include:

• Domestic Tasks - including cleaning, laundry, shopping and meal preparation.
• Personal Care - including washing, toileting and medication prompting. 
• Respite Care - to give carers a break.
• Out and About Care - getting to appointments, cafes and places of your choice.
• Personal Assistants - providing support with bill paying and correspondence, pension collection, shopping and organising your home. 

We offer around-the-clock care, every day of the year and can provide male, female and multi-lingual Home Care workers.

We provide a quality service which is CQC registered as Good and our friendly Home Care workers have undergone enhanced DBS checks and full training.

Prices start from £21.80 per hour.

You may be eligible for financial assistance to pay for care. Please speak to our Information & Advice service for a free benefits check or contact your local benefits advice service for details.
