Finding the right care for a loved one in Northampton can feel overwhelming — especially when you want to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and still living at home. Whether you’re exploring care for the first time or looking to switch from council-funded support, this guide explains everything you need to know about arranging private home care in Northampton.


🏡 What Is Private Home Care?


Private home care means you choose and pay for the care directly, rather than receiving it through local authority funding. This gives families more flexibility and control — from choosing the same carer each visit to deciding how many hours of support are provided each week.


At Homelium Care Northampton, we support people to stay at home with dignity and independence, offering tailored care packages that fit around each person’s life.

The cost of home care in Northampton can vary depending on the level of support needed.As a guide:


  • Hourly home care usually starts from around £25–£35 per hour

  • Live-in care starts from around £1,000 per week


At Homelium, we provide a free consultation and 2 hours of care completely free, so you can see how our service works before making any commitment.
