Through our person centred planning of care, we work with our clients to offer customised, flexible and affordable care that meets their needs.
When you choose care at home, it provides the comfort of receiving care in your own home, promoting a sense of security and well-being, whilst carers visit you in your home when you need them. In order to ensure you get the support you need, personalised care plans are tailored to meet specific needs, allowing individuals to maintain their independence and daily routines. Additionally, caregivers offer companionship, reducing feelings of loneliness, and fostering social interaction. With flexible scheduling, home care, with Firstpoint Homecare, can easily adapt to varying needs, enabling family members to remain actively involved in their loved one’s care. Moreover, it can be more cost-effective than other care options. Overall, home care enhances quality of life, offering peace of mind for both clients and their families.
If independence and remaining in your own home is important to you, then deciding to have home care as opposed to going into residential care will be the best option for you. Home care is extremely flexible and allows you to have as much or as little help as you feel you need. Homecare is ideal for individuals who need assistance with daily activities. If you or your loved ones requires help with personal care, mobility, or companionship, our services here at Firstpoint Homecare may be a good fit.

It is often interpreted that remaining in your own home is more expensive, when in fact this is not usually the case. With Firstpoint Homecare, you decide the level of support and care you need – meaning that you only pay for the one-to-one care you receive, rather than paying a care home provider to fund care which is shared across many individuals and not optional.
All Firstpoint Homecare caregivers, undergo thorough background checks, reference verification, and training to ensure they meet our high standards of care. We prioritise hiring compassionate and qualified professionals to provide the best care to you or a loved one.
Here at Firstpoint Homecare, we understand that needs can evolve and changes to your care at home may be required. We are here to adjust your care plan as necessary, whether that means increasing hours, changing services, or adding specialised care.

Becoming a Care Assistant or Healthcare Assistant is an extremely important and rewarding job. Often when looking for roles, both the terms Healthcare Assistant (HCA) and Care Assistant are used, but knowing the difference between the two can be helpful when job hunting. The terms are commonly used by people to describe the same role, and although there is nothing wrong with this, since the nature of the roles are similar and overlap, it’s good to be able to differentiate.
Healthcare Assistant
A healthcare assistant is often associated with a role within hospitals, GP surgeries and NHS Trusts. Healthcare assistants support clinical staff in the provision of treatment, preventative care, health promotion and patient education.
Care Assistant
Care assistant is a term more commonly associated to community, care homes or home care settings. A care assistant’s role commonly includes helping clients with their immediate needs such as maintaining hygiene, dressing washing and day-to-day tasks.
