Vetted & approved carers
DBS checked & insured
Curam helps you find the right carer for elderly care at home, anywhere in the UK. Whether you need home help for an elderly parent a few hours a week, overnight support or full-time live-in care, you can search DBS-checked carers near you, message or video call them, and choose the carer who feels right.
Elderly care at home is practical and personal support from a carer, provided in the older person's own home rather than a care home. It helps people keep their independence, routines and connections while getting the help they need. Care can be a few hours a week or round the clock. It is one of the home care services you can arrange through Curam.
Support is agreed with your carer and tailored to your needs. It typically includes:
Every task is set out in a service agreement between you and your carer before care begins, so everyone is clear on what's expected. As needs change, the agreement can be updated. Support can start with a few hours a week and increase over time.
Care is arranged around the level of support needed now, and can change as needs change. You agree the type of care, the hours and the tasks with your chosen carer.
Regular visits for personal care, meals, medication or companionship.
A carer lives in the home to provide full-time, one-to-one support.
Sleeping or waking night support for safety and peace of mind.
Short-term cover so family carers or a regular carer can take a break.
Round-the-clock support from a team of carers.
Carers experienced with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke recovery and end-of-life care.
Care at home lets someone stay independent in familiar surroundings, keep their routines, and stay close to family, friends, community and pets. One-to-one support also suits people with complex or progressive conditions, such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
It depends on the level of care needed and the carer's rate, but home care is often more affordable. The average live-in rate charged by carers on Curam is £1,127 per week.

Average £20.50/hour
From £15/hour
Rates depend on sleeping or waking nights.
Private clients also pay a Curam client fee of 12%.
Most people pay for home care privately, but you may be entitled to help with the cost. Follow these three steps to check what support you can get:
Use a benefits calculator to see what you may be entitled to.
Find out if you are eligible for NHS continuing healthcare funding.
Ask your council about local authority funding, starting with a free needs assessment.
If you still have difficulty paying for care, you could consider other options such as equity release.
In England, the council may contribute if your savings and assets are below the upper capital limit, currently £23,250. How much it pays depends on your needs and what you can afford. The first step is a free needs assessment, which anyone can ask for.
People with long-term, complex health needs may qualify for NHS continuing healthcare, which is arranged and funded by the NHS. Eligibility is based on assessed needs, not a particular diagnosis.
Funding rules differ across the UK.
Your carer sends a service agreement and shift invoice to your Curam account for approval. Payment is held securely and released to the carer after the shift. Off-platform and cash payments are not accepted.
Every carer is interviewed, DBS checked, legally entitled to work in the UK, and their qualifications are verified.
Search, message and video call carers, then agree their responsibilities before you hire.
In-home care with Curam respects independence. It is tailored to each individual while allowing them to live in the comfort of their own home.
