Regulated Activities (CQC-Registered)

Regulated activities require providers to be registered with the CQC, as they involve personal care and health-related support that can impact an individual's well-being.

1. Personal Care (CQC-Regulated)

Personal care involves hands-on assistance with daily living tasks, often for individuals with reduced mobility, disabilities, or medical conditions. These include:

  • Washing and Bathing – Assistance with hygiene, including showering, bathing, and hair care.
  • Dressing and Grooming – Helping clients choose and put on clothes, including fastening buttons and zippers.
  • Toileting and Continence Care – Support with using the toilet, managing incontinence pads, or catheter/stoma care.
  • Eating and Drinking – Assistance with meal preparation, feeding, and monitoring fluid intake.
  • Medication Support – Administering prescribed medications, prompting clients to take medications, and managing medical equipment.
  • Mobility Assistance – Helping individuals move safely around their home, including using mobility aids.

Non-Regulated Activities (No CQC Registration Required)

These services do not involve personal or medical care but still play a vital role in supporting individuals to live independently at home.

1. Companionship & Emotional Support

  • Providing company and social interaction
  • Engaging in hobbies, games, and conversations
  • Accompanying clients on outings, appointments, or shopping trips

2. Household Support & Domestic Tasks

  • Light housekeeping, laundry, and changing bed linens
  • Meal preparation and grocery shopping
  • Assistance with organizing paperwork or paying bills

3. Assisted Technology Support

  • Supplying and monitoring innovative care technology through non evasive movement sensors and supporting you to remain independent
  • Setting up video calls for family communication
  • Assisting with smart home devices and emergency call systems

4. Lifestyle and Community Support

  • Supporting clients in attending social clubs, religious services, or community events
  • Encouraging engagement in activities that promote well-being and independence

Choosing the Right Support

While regulated activities require CQC registration and trained staff, non-regulated activities can be provided by home help services, volunteers, or informal carers. Many home care providers offer both regulated and non-regulated services to ensure a holistic approach to care.
