Understanding home care costs
We know cost is one of the most important questions families have. Here's a clear overview of your options:
Self-Funded Care
Many families pay privately for home care. Typical hourly rates in the UK range from £18–£30/hr depending on care type. We will give you a fully transparent breakdown after your free assessment.
Local Authority Funding
You may be eligible for care funded wholly or in part by your local council, following a needs and financial assessment. We can guide you through this process.
NHS Continuing Healthcare
Where care needs are primarily health-related, the NHS may fund all care costs through Continuing Healthcare (CHC). We can advise on eligibility.
Attendance Allowance
Many people over state pension age qualify for Attendance Allowance — a benefit that can contribute towards care costs. We can point you to guidance on how to apply.
