What is home care?
A trained carer visits at agreed times to help with daily tasks: getting up and dressed, preparing meals, taking medication, personal care, and companionship. For people who need more intensive support, a live-in carer can be present around the clock.
The goal is simple: to help people live safely and independently at home for as long as possible — rather than moving into a care facility before they need to, or before they want to.
Home care — sometimes called domiciliary care — is professional support provided in your own home, rather than in a residential or nursing facility.
For many Sheffield families, home care is the alternative to a care home that keeps a loved one in the place they know best.
Care that fits yourSituation
Hourly Home Care
Support with daily routines — mornings, evenings, or anything in between — so your loved one stays independent at home.
Live-in Care
A carer who lives with your loved one full-time — all the support of a care home, in the home they know.
Dementia Care
Specialist support for people living with dementia — familiar faces, consistent routines, and a calm, safe environment at home.
Respite Care
Short-term cover so family carers can rest, recover, or simply take a break — without worrying about who's looking after their loved one.
Learning Disability Support
Practical, respectful support for adults with learning disabilities — built around independence, routine, and what matters most to them.
Autism Support
Carefully matched carer who understands the importance of consistency, trust and a environment for autistic adults.
How home care works in practice
One of the most common concerns families have is not knowing what to expect. Here's how it actually works when you arrange home care with Delight.
Free home assessment
We visit you at home, free of charge, to understand your loved one's routine, needs, and what matters most. The assessment usually takes an hour.
A care plan built around them
We create a personalised care plan tailored to your loved one — including visit times, daily support, and a carer who suits their needs and routine.
The same carer, consistently
We carefully match your loved one with a carer who suits them, providing familiar, consistent support from someone who understands their routine and preferences.
Regular reviews
We review the care plan with you at least every three months — or sooner if needs change. If something isn't working, we adjust. Nothing is locked in.

Why Sheffield families choose us
over the bigger names
Not because we say the right things.
Because we do them.
The same carer team.Every single visit.
Most agencies rotate carers based on availability. We don't. From day one, your loved one has a consistent carer team who learns their routine, their preferences, and - yes - the way they take their tea.
Familiarity isn't a luxury in care. For someone with dementia, anxiety, or a learning disability, it's everything.
We're Sheffield.Not a Sheffield branch.
We're not a distant call centre or a faceless national operation. We're a Sheffield-based care provider, with a team that lives and works locally.
We're based on Carlisle Street, S4 is at the heart of everything we do, allowing us to stay connected to the city and focused on delivering exceptional care where it matters most, in people's homes.

After your free assessment, some families need a day to think. Some need a week. Some decide it's not the right time.
That's completely fine. We don't follow up with sales calls. We don't send reminder emails. When you're ready — if you're ready — we're here.
How much does home care cost in Sheffield?
This is one of the first questions families ask — and one that most care agencies avoid answering. We'll be straightforward with you.
Home care costs in Sheffield typically start from £30 per hour, depending on the level of care required, the number of visits per week, and the time of day. Live-in care is costed differently — usually as a weekly rate rather than hourly.
Factors that affect the cost:
- Visit duration and frequency
- Type of care required
- Time of visits (evenings and weekends may differ)
- Whether specialist care is needed
