How We Can Help
Everyone’s circumstances are different.
You may be looking for a few hours of companionship, help with everyday routines, personal care, regular respite for a family carer or more continuous support at home.
Hub Care Support can introduce you to independent, QCAS-approved Personal Assistants in your local area. You choose who feels right and agree the support directly with them.

Care and support built around you
Support can be arranged around the individual’s needs, preferences and routines.
Depending on the Personal Assistant you choose, support may include companionship, household help, personal care, getting out and about, respite or longer-term arrangements.
Some people need one type of support. Others combine several kinds of help within the same arrangement.
Companionship
Companionship may include conversation, shared activities, going for walks, attending social groups or simply spending regular time with someone familiar.
It can help people remain connected, active and involved in the things they enjoy.
Home Support
Home support covers practical help with everyday routines.
This may include shopping, meal preparation, appointments, errands, communication, getting out and about or support with activities at home.
Domestic Home Support
Domestic support is focused on keeping the home comfortable and manageable.
It may include cleaning, laundry, ironing, changing bedding, washing up and other agreed household tasks.
Personal Care
Personal care may include support with washing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating and drinking or morning and evening routines.
Because personal care involves trust and privacy, you can choose someone you feel comfortable with and discuss your preferences directly.
Respite Support
Respite support gives family members and unpaid carers time to rest, attend appointments or manage other responsibilities.
It may be arranged occasionally or as part of a regular routine.
Live-in Care
Live-in care may be suitable for someone who wants more continuous support while remaining in their own home.
The exact responsibilities, working pattern, rate and living arrangements must be discussed and agreed directly with the Personal Assistant.
Support can be flexible
The support you need may not fit neatly into one category.
For example, someone may want companionship alongside shopping and meal preparation, or personal care together with help getting out and attending appointments.
Your local Hub can listen to what you are looking for and introduce QCAS-approved Personal Assistants whose profiles may be relevant.
Not every Personal Assistant offers every type of support, and availability varies locally.
You choose who supports you
Hub does not simply allocate someone to you. You can review suitable profiles, speak with the Personal Assistants you are interested in and decide who you would like to meet.
