How did you choose the best home carers in Hampshire?

By what their clients said first, then by their record. We start from every carer who offers visits and is based within about 45 minutes of Hampshire, and keep those with a studio portrait and a profile that says enough about them to be useful. They are ordered by their client rating and how many reviews they have, then by whether a client wrote a review we can quote, then by their record with PrimeCarers, their years of experience and the care they have given through us. All 6 carers profiled here have client reviews, averaging 5.0 out of 5.

Are the carers on this page checked?

Yes. Before a carer appears on PrimeCarers they have passed an enhanced DBS check, an identity check and a right-to-work check, and recorded an online interview. That DBS must have been issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years. Their skills, qualifications and training are for you to check with them. How we check carers sets out each step.

Can we meet a carer before booking?

Yes, and it is worth doing. Message the carers you like through PrimeCarers with the visits you need and anything that has been difficult, then arrange a video call or a visit. Talking to a carer is free and nothing is booked until you say so. Most families speak to two or three carers before choosing.

How much do the best home carers in Hampshire charge?

The carers profiled on this page charge £18.80 to £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Hampshire carers charge £19 to £22 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Hampshire works through what a week of visits comes to.

Are there carers in Hampshire with dementia experience?

All 12 carers on this page list dementia on their profile. A tick on a profile is the carer's own description, so ask each one about the people with dementia they have cared for and what they found hardest. Dementia care at home covers what good support looks like at each stage.

Do any of the carers in Hampshire speak a language other than English?

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Afrikaans, Arabic, Chichewa, Dutch, Flemish, Romanian, Sign Language, Southern Sotho, Tswana, Yoruba and Zulu as well as English, and the search can filter by language. For someone whose first language has come back to them with age or dementia, a carer who shares it can make visits much easier.

What if the first carer is not right?

Then you choose another, and the same search shows who else is available. For visits, notice under the contract is 48 hours, and PrimeCarers makes no charge to stop or change carer. It helps to agree at the start that the first couple of weeks are a trial for both of you. Our team can help you find someone else in the meantime.

Can one of these carers stay overnight or live in?

Some can, and their profile says so. Of the carers profiled here, 4 also offer overnight care and 3 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Hampshire is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.

Prisca S.

Client rating: 5.0from 2 reviews
Hourly rate: £20 an hour, our fee included
Also offers: Overnight care and live-in care

In Prisca’s words

“Music and dancing keep me going. So do card games and a good puzzle when I want to slow down. I bring that same energy into my work, based in Southampton, where I offer hourly, live-in and overnight care. Fourteen years in care have taught me that company matters as much as any task. I like to sit and talk, share a meal, or get out for a walk together.”

Nina R.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £25 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 178 hours of care

In Nina’s words

“Early in my career I chose not to pursue nursing qualifications, because what I really wanted was more time with patients rather than paperwork. That decision has shaped the last 12 years, working as a hands-on carer across general hospitals, neuro hospitals, care homes and the community, and it is still the part of the job I find most rewarding.”

Nina looked after my aunt at very short notice on a weekend. Nina was patient, focussed on my aunt's physical well-being, and unfazed by what at the time was a new and uncertain situation for my aunt who was trying to settle in back at home after a nasty fall followed by a long hospital stay. She was of great help in a time of crisis.

Client rating: 5.0from 4 reviews
Hourly rate: £22 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 184 hours of care

In Olabode’s words

“I came into care five years ago without any nursing background, and I built my skills the practical way, learning on the job and adapting to whatever each client needed. Based in Eastleigh, I offer hourly and overnight care, and over the years I've supported people with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy, Down's syndrome and several other conditions.”

Samuel is an incredibly kind;conscientious and effective carer. My husband looks forward to his visits and we enjoy his company as well as being grateful for the respectful and expert care he provides. He also provides a lightness when appropriate and shares our sense of humour and we all manage to have a laugh at times which I think is invaluable to my husbands wellbeing. He is invaluable to us Jill
