Is home care in Basingstoke free?

What is domiciliary care and how is it different from a care home?
Domiciliary care (also called home care) means a carer visits your loved one at their own home — helping with personal care, medication, meals and companionship. Unlike a care home, your loved one stays in familiar surroundings. All agencies on CareAH provide domiciliary care only — we do not list care homes or residential settings.
Are all home care agencies in Basingstoke CQC registered?
Every agency listed on CareAH is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). By law, any organisation providing regulated home care in England must be CQC registered. We show CQC-registered agencies only — unregistered or non-compliant agencies are never shown on our platform.
