Locally managed home care, delivered by carers who live and work in your community.
Select Choice moved its offices to Harrogate in 2024, following increased demand in the area. Our office sits a few minutes from the town centre on Mayfield Grove. That means our home care in Harrogate is local to the people it supports.
Our care is delivered and managed by people who know the area, with carers who live nearby and can be with you reliably, professionally and on time. If you’ve been searching for support at home in Harrogate, domiciliary care is usually the right starting point.
Hourly home care across the Harrogate postcode area (HG1–HG5). Hourly care depends on carers being able to reach you reliably for each visit, so our coverage is more focused than live-in care. If you’re outside the HG postcodes, please call us — our live-in care service may suit better.
Our care is coordinated from our Harrogate office, not a regional call centre. When you call, you speak to someone who knows your carer, your area and your routine. It’s a small but impactful difference that you don’t find with large, national providers.
We match on personality and interests, not just availability. For hourly visits this matters even more than for live-in care — the same one or two familiar faces, week after week, rather than a rota of strangers through the front door.
Select Choice Community Support is registered with the Care Quality Commission and rated Good across all five areas of inspection. Our care, training and management processes are inspected independently, so families using our domiciliary care in Harrogate know the standards behind every visit.
An increase in care needs isn’t always expected. If you call us in the morning, we can usually visit the same week — and often within 24 hours for urgent situations following a hospital discharge or a sudden change at home. We work with you and your family to visit at a time convenient for you.
My brother has been cared for by Select Choice for quite some time and the care he receives is amazing — absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them. He is very confused at times but they treat him with respect and dignity at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of care.
Our hourly home care in Harrogate covers everything you’d expect from a high-quality domiciliary care service: personal care (washing, dressing, continence support), medication prompting and administration, meal preparation, light housework, laundry, shopping, and accompanied trips to appointments or social activities. Many of our clients also value the companionship side — a familiar carer who’ll sit with a cup of tea, share a crossword, or simply be a calm presence in the house.
“Domiciliary care” is the term local authorities and the NHS often use for what most families call home care. At Select Choice we use the terms interchangeably: both describe a trained carer visiting you at home for a scheduled period of support, anywhere from a 30-minute call to several hours a day. If a hospital discharge team, GP or social worker has recommended domiciliary care in Harrogate, our hourly home care service is what they’re referring to.
Hourly home care in Harrogate typically ranges from £29.40 – £36.00 per hour. The exact figure depends on visit length, frequency, and the type of support required — which is why we always provide a written, itemised quote after the free home assessment rather than a headline price.
