Quarry Homecare provides CQC-registered home care across Toxteth and the L8 area of Liverpool, supporting adults of all ages to remain safely and independently at home. We are based in Garston and have been delivering domiciliary care across the city for over 16 years. Whether care is arranged privately, funded through a Direct Payment from Liverpool City Council, or put in place following a hospital discharge, our team provides a thorough assessment and a care plan built entirely around the individual. Their needs, their routines, and what matters most to them.
For many Toxteth residents, the most relevant route to accessing quality home care is through a Direct Payment, a cash allocation from Liverpool City Council that allows individuals assessed as eligible for care support to choose and manage their own provider, rather than having a service arranged on their behalf. Quarry Homecare accepts Direct Payment arrangements and is experienced in working within Liverpool City Council’s framework. We deliver the same standard of care regardless of how that care is funded, and our fees are benchmarked against Liverpool City Council’s published rates. There are no hidden costs and no top-ups.
Toxteth’s care landscape is also shaped by its health profile. The area experiences higher rates of long-term illness and health deprivation than many parts of Liverpool, and residents of all ages are more likely to require regular, consistent support at home as a result. Royal Liverpool University Hospital, one of the city’s main acute hospitals, is accessible in minutes from most of Toxteth, and many residents return home from treatment there needing a care package in place from day one. Quarry Homecare can mobilise a package within 24 to 48 hours of referral. Primary care is provided locally through Brownlow Health at Princes Park Health Centre on Bentley Road, which serves much of the L8 community.
Liverpool City Council’s means-test threshold under the Care Act 2014 currently sits at £23,250 in assets. Many Toxteth residents will fall below this threshold and be eligible for local authority support. For those who do arrange care privately, our fees reflect council-benchmarked rates.
