Up to seven quick questions.
No pressure. No hard sell.
Whether you're asking for yourself, a parent, or a partner, our short guide will help you understand what kind of support might fit: companionship, hands-on personal care, or something more specialist.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You worry about them when you're not there
- They're struggling with medication or daily tasks
- Personal care has become difficult or uncomfortable
- There's been a fall, or a near-miss
- You're exhausted from caring and need a break
- They want to stay at home, not move into a care facility
Straight answers
How much does home care cost in Staffordshire?
Home care in Staffordshire is usually charged by the hour, and the rate depends on the type of visit, the time of day and how much support is needed. At Honorable Care we agree a clear weekly cost with you before any care begins, with no hidden charges and no tie-in, so you always know where you stand. Some families pay for care themselves. Others qualify for help from Staffordshire County Council or Stoke-on-Trent City Council after a needs assessment and a financial assessment, and some people with a health condition can have care funded in full by the NHS through Continuing Healthcare. Attendance Allowance, which is not means tested, can also help towards the cost. The honest answer is that it varies from family to family, so the quickest way to know your figure is a free assessment. We will tell you exactly what care would cost and what funding you may be entitled to.
From your first call to care starting
Here is how it works.
Most families have care in place within 24 to 48 hours of their first assessment.
1
Call us
Tell us what's happening. We listen first. No forms, no pressure, no call centre. You speak to someone who actually runs the company.
2
Free home assessment
A senior member of our team comes to you. We meet the person who needs care in their own home and work out exactly what would help.
3
Agree the plan
We put together a care plan and go through it with you. Nothing starts until you are completely happy with it.
4
Care begins
Your carer is introduced before the first visit. From the day of your assessment, care can start within 24 to 48 hours if that's what you need.
For families who are unsure
You're not failing them by asking for help.
If you've been holding it together for a parent or partner, managing the appointments, the night-time turns, watching the calendar, and you're wondering whether it's time to ask for support: it probably is. Asking is not a failure. It is the most loving thing you can do for both of you.
We're a small, family-run team. We'll listen first. We'll come and meet you and your loved one in their own home. And we'll help you work out what kind of support, if any, would actually help.

Meet our Registered Manager
Registered Manager
Zoe Rafferty
I am passionate about Social Care and providing high quality domiciliary care to people who live in our communities, who wish to remain living independently in their own home where they feel safe and secure in their own familiar surroundings. I have worked in Social Care for the past eleven years. I started my career as a community care worker, and I progressed to Senior Care Worker. The role of Senior Care Worker was some of the best years of my life — being out in the community making sure that our service users were safe and well and that our care workers were providing the person-centred high quality of care that they deserved and with dignity and respect. This role really made me passionate and driven to provide high quality Social Care. I progressed quickly to a care coordinator, deputy manager and now a Registered Manager. We value equality and treat all our service users with compassion, and we are committed to delivering consistent quality care.

What our clients have said
Real families. Real care.
★★★★★
I cannot recommend this company enough. They go above and beyond. They don't just care for my mum, they actually care for the family and will support where they can. Management deals with any issues effectively and promptly. I can actually relax now this company is involved. If you are looking for care for a loved one, look no further.
★★★★★
After spending months trying to find care for my mother, Honorable Care answered my prayers and took on my mother's care needs knowing the challenging circumstances. They have been very supportive and professional throughout.
★★★★★
Excellent care given to my Aunty. The staff are extremely caring and respectful, allowing my Aunty to feel at ease and, in her words, "in good hands." Great communication, any issues dealt with efficiently and professionally, with management available at any time.
★★★★★
We are extremely happy with the care provided to my mum. The carers are kind, reliable, and always treat her with dignity and respect. Communication with the company is excellent, and it gives us real peace of mind knowing she is in safe hands. I would highly recommend this care company.
FAQ
Questions families ask us.
Which areas do you cover?
Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and across Staffordshire. If you are just outside that, call us anyway and we will tell you straight whether we can help.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. We visit you at home, talk through what is needed and give you a clear cost. No obligation, no pressure, and no charge for the visit.
How quickly can care start?
Often within a few days. In urgent situations, after a fall or a hospital discharge, we can start the same day in many cases.
Will it be the same carers each time?
As far as we can make it, yes. We keep the team around each person small on purpose, because consistency is what makes care feel safe.
Are your carers checked and trained?
Yes. Every carer is DBS checked and trained before they work with anyone, and the whole service is overseen by our Registered Manager, as the CQC requires.
Can I reach you outside office hours?
Yes. The office is open Mon to Fri 9am to 5pm on 01782 528087, and our 24-hour line on 07944 200990 is always answered.
Ready to take the next step?
Let's have a conversation.
No forms. No pressure. No commitment. Just a phone call, or a home visit, with the registered manager, to help you work out what would actually help.
