Locally managed home care, delivered by carers who live and work in your community.
Select Choice was founded in Leeds in 2020. We’ve been supporting families across the city ever since, with a team that lives and works locally and knows the difference between a postcode and a neighbourhood.
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 Leeds, domiciliary care is usually the right starting point.
Hourly home care across north and west Leeds. 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 postcodes listed below, please call us — our live-in care service may suit better.
Our service is managed by a friendly team with over 50 years experience in the sector. Our Registered Manager, October Smyth-Parker, will ensure that your support package is meeting your expectations.
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 Leeds 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.
We needed someone to pop in to see Mum for an hour every evening for a period of seven days whilst we were on holiday. It was to make sure Mum had eaten, had her medication and was generally alright. One member of staff initially came out to see Mum and introduce herself to us and was actually one of the carers who visited Mum whilst we were away. Apparently, she had lovely chats with Mum (who is actually a very quiet person). We had already completed a little questionnaire about Mum’s interests which was a very thoughtful gesture and meant that Mum could be engaged in conversations that had meaning for her. The main carer very kindly sent me a text message each evening after she (or another carer) had visited to let us know that Mum was ok. This meant a lot to us as it gave us peace of mind. Would definitely use Select Choice again and cannot recommend it highly enough, especially the main carer, who was professional, very friendly and caring.
Our hourly home care in Leeds 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 Leeds, our hourly home care service is what they’re referring to.
Hourly home care in Leeds 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.
Whether you're just starting to explore options or ready to book a free assessment, our team is here to help — no obligation, no pressure.
