Home Care in Reading

Cost depends on visit length, complexity of care and time of day, so we confirm an exact figure after a free, no-obligation home visit rather than quoting a generic rate. There are no hidden fees or call-out charges — see our full range of home care services.

As well as Reading itself, we cover Caversham, Tilehurst, Woodley, Earley and the surrounding area. See our full coverage map, or if you're not sure whether we cover your postcode, just get in touch and we'll let you know.

All Aquarius carers are Enhanced DBS-checked and reference-vetted before they're matched with a client, and the agency itself is CQC-registered. If you'd like the detail behind that, our about page covers how we recruit and train carers.

In many cases we can arrange an initial home visit within a few days, and begin care shortly after your personalised plan is agreed. For urgent needs, let us know when you get in touch and we'll do everything we can to move quickly.

We do — dementia care and complex health needs both require specialist training, which every carer completes before taking on that kind of case. Our dementia care at home guide explains what that looks like day to day, and plans are revisited as circumstances change.

With visiting care a carer calls at scheduled times, from a short daily visit to several hours a day, and you're independent the rest of the time. Live-in care means round-the-clock support from a carer based in the home. Most families in Reading start by reading our guide to choosing between the two before deciding.
