Best Hourly Care and Live-in Care Services in Berkshire
Berkshire carries a character that is hard to miss. Windsor Castle has defined the county's identity for nearly 1,000 years, and the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading has served the region's residents since 1839. Older adults living near Wokefield Park, Shaw House in Newbury, or the quieter stretches of West Berkshire understand that staying at home matters more as care needs grow. Families near Reading, where Liquid Leisure draws crowds to the Colne Valley, and those in villages close to Combe Gibbet in Lambourn face the same reality: home care in Berkshire becomes essential when independence at home starts to require daily support.
Home care in Berkshire covers both hourly visiting care and live-in care, depending on the level of support needed. HTR Care provides both services across Berkshire, with each care plan built around individual routines and matched with a consistent carer. Support starts within 24 to 48 hours of the first enquiry.

Why Choose HTR Care in Berkshire
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
Every home care service Berkshire families receive from HTR Care is rated Good across all 5 CQC inspection domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-Led.
Fully Trained and DBS-Checked Carers
Our carers hold qualifications in Health and Social Care at Level 2 or Level 3. We also provide ongoing training in dementia care, medication administration, manual handling, and safeguarding.
Personal Care Plan for Every Client
Before care begins, a senior member of our team visits the home to carry out a full assessment. From this, we build a written care plan that is personal to that individual and reviewed on a regular basis.
Care Starts in Just 24 to 48 Hours
When families need help quickly, we act fast. In most cases, we can carry out a home assessment and begin care within 24 to 48 hours of your first contact with us.
Carer Introduction Before Care Starts
We always introduce the caregiver to the client and their family before the first official visit. The first visit is never with a stranger. We match carers based on skills, experience, and how well they will get along with the client, so care feels comfortable from day one.
Home Care Services We Offer in Berkshire
Live-In Care
Live-in care provides continuous support at home from a dedicated carer who stays throughout the day and night. It is ideal for older adults and individuals living with dementia, disability, or long-term health conditions who need full-time assistance. This allows people to remain safe, comfortable, and independent in familiar surroundings.
Visiting Care (Hourly Care)
Visiting care, also called hourly care, provides flexible support through scheduled home visits based on the level of help needed each day or week. It is suitable for adults who need assistance with daily activities such as personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, mobility support, and companionship. This service helps maintain independence while receiving reliable care at home.
Night Care (Overnight Care)
Night care, also known as overnight care, provides support for individuals who need assistance, supervision, or reassurance during the night. Our carers provide waking night care or sleeping night care depending on individual needs, especially for those living with dementia, mobility issues, or health conditions. This ensures safety, comfort, and peace of mind throughout the night.
Companionship Care (Social and Emotional Support)
Companionship care provides meaningful social interaction and emotional support for individuals who may feel isolated or lonely at home. Our carers spend quality time through conversation, hobbies, walks, and daily activities that support mental wellbeing. This service helps improve confidence, mood, and overall quality of life.
Respite Care (Short-Term Care)
Respite care, also known as short-term care, provides temporary support so family carers can take a break while their loved one continues receiving professional care. It is suitable for planned breaks, emergencies, or when extra support is needed for a short period. This ensures continuity of care while giving families time to rest and recharge.
