Make your care budget go further
How at AtHome helps you:
You can be confident our carers, companions, and personal assistants have been screened as recommended by the UK government, so you can be sure who you are welcoming into your home.
With our ultra-low fee, a client ultimately pays less for care. Our clients can save large amounts on their care, giving them more options and ensuring they have more money for care in the future.
AtHome allows clients to choose their carer. We can help clients find, match, choose, and directly connect our clients with vetted self-employed carers to suit specific needs. Families can work together on the portal to view and select the best carer options, so the whole family can easily be involved in care for their loved ones.
Care at home allows our clients to stay in a familiar environment and receive care on their terms and to their budget. Couples can stay together, clients can enjoy 1:1 care, and be encouraged to live a fulfilling life.
The AtHome team is always on hand, helping with care needs as long as you need us.
Our Clients can manage different care locations and needs all in one place and stay in control 24 hrs a day 7 days a week - Download the app from the app store to view all rotas and manage care in your pocket.
We help match our carers with similar interests and hobbies to clients to make sure your care is as personalised as possible.
We work hard to ensure our clients have an outstanding experience of finding Care
From September 2024 AtHome will offer insurance cover for all carers providing care through AtHome to AtHome clients. The insurance policy with trusted care insurance specialists MARK BATES will provide clients with peace of mind their carer is covered. PLUS we will offer access to FREE accredited training so carers can keep up to date with the latest carer certifications. In addition, and (subject to status) we will also offer our working carers a private GP service to ensure their well-being. We want to ensure our carers are ready to provide great care and we strive to look after them so they can provide the care you need.
We know your priority is great care but within the right budget
Our software provides detailed search matches that are flexible to allow you to book a carer, companion or personal assistant according to your specific requirements and budget 24/7.
There is no registration fee, and no obligation to engage any of the carers you view or are introduced to.
Find the right carers, companions & personal assistants in the most cost-effective way.
What sort of care can I find with AtHome?
Everyone’s needs are different, everyone’s budgets are different and everyone’s circumstances are different.
As a person seeking or needing care or support, you understand what your require, when you want it and what your budget is. With AtHome, clients are 100% in control and can choose the level of care & support required. Choose from approved companions, and carers who can help with everyday tasks, from basic day-to-day support, loneliness, and supporting a young person, or an elderly person with Dementia, to end-of-life care.
We are an introduction agency, so what does that mean?
We introduce self-employed carers, companions & PA’s to clients looking for care.
Why are our costs different?
We want to make accessing care & support a fair and reasonable price.
Many agencies charge a ‘‘registration fee’’. We don’t - It is FREE to register with us for everyone.
Agencies can charge up to 60% in fees to place your carer, we do not. We want to ensure all workers earn and keep more of their pay, so our fees are ultra-low, which enables us to operate efficiently as well as develop and improve our website, software, and business offering everyone the chance to find reasonably priced, reliable care.
Why does this matter?
The percentage that an agency can charge is important. The more the agency charges, the less your worker will keep and the more you have to pay to attract the right person. Large agencies will often receive the whole payment fee and keep up to 60% whist paying the carer minimum wage - this is simply not fair to you or the carer!
To forge and maintain happy and productive relationships between carers, companions and PA’s with clients and their families, we believe higher carer pay is essential for the great work they do, but we don’t expect the client to pay more - we just ensure we can offer the service for less.
The vast majority of individuals join caring as a passion, but ensuring your chosen worker is getting the best pay, means you are likely to attract a highly committed individual who is loyal and reliable.
How do you manage to reduce your costs so much?
We have streamlined compared to the rest of the UK care industry. With carefully developed technology we have taken out the labour-intensive processes of manually searching and calling through endless lists of individuals for matching. We have minimized the unnecessary paperwork for rota planning among many other cost savings, which are then passed on to you, the client.
Our methods save time and costs and we pass this directly to clients and workers. It also means a quicker, more accessible workforce is available to our clients at the point of need.
AtHome is revolutionary, with our bespoke software we can really make a difference for people needing access to care in the UK.
