Home support (home care)

Return to Market Overview | Return to the MPS home page 

Home Support (also known as home care) is the delivery of a range of personal care, domestic and community support services to individuals in their own homes.

In March 2023 Bradford Council and the ICB commissioned nearly 39,000 hours of home support across the District. On average each person receives 14.9 hours of support per week and approximately 42% of all Home Support provision requires 2 carers per visit.

A large scale review of Home Support has recently been undertaken in Bradford and we are now implementing new approaches which will significantly change the shape of the home support market in the District. New contracts start in October 2023.

Innovation sites across the District are testing models around: outcome-based support, technology enabled care, delegated healthcare tasks.

Through the innovation sites, we are aiming to improve the care and outcomes for people who use services and improve opportunities for care staff through better training and career development, more guaranteed hours, and better recognition of the value of their work.
