Live-in care costs vary depending on your specific needs, the complexity of care required, and the duration of care. Typically, live-in care is charged on a weekly basis, covering 24-hour support from a dedicated carer who lives with you in your home. The overall cost can depend on factors such as the level of personal care, medical needs, and any specialised services that might be required, such as dementia care.

At Nurseplus Care at Home, we ensure that our pricing remains competitive while providing high-quality, compassionate care. We offer a transparent fee structure with no hidden costs, making it easier for you to plan your finances.

Factors Affecting Live-In Care Costs

Several factors can affect the overall cost of live-in care, including:

  • Level of Care Required: The more support needed with daily tasks, personal care, and medical needs, the higher the cost may be.

  • Specialist Care Services: If you require specialised care, such as dementia care or palliative care, this can increase the cost.

  • Duration of Care: Whether you need care for a few weeks (short-term) or long-term ongoing support will influence the pricing.

  • Carer Qualifications and Experience: The level of experience and training of the carer assigned can affect the overall cost of care.

We work with you to develop a bespoke care plan that not only meets your needs but also aligns with your financial expectations.

Factors Affecting Live-In Care Costs

Is Live-In Care More Affordable Than a Care Home?

While live-in care may initially seem more costly than hourly home care or day services, it can often be more cost-effective than moving into a residential care home. Live-in care allows you to remain in your own home, avoiding the fees associated with care home accommodation and meals, while benefiting from one-to-one support.

The cost of live-in care becomes especially competitive for couples who wish to continue living together while receiving care, as care home fees are charged per individual, whereas live-in care covers both people in the same household.

How to Make Live-In Care More Affordable

There are several ways to help reduce the cost of live-in care:

  • Government Funding: Depending on your financial situation, you may qualify for local authority funding or NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding.

  • Benefits and Allowances: You may be eligible for benefits like Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), or Carer’s Allowance, which can help offset care costs.

  • Tax Relief: In some cases, live-in care expenses may be tax-deductible, providing further savings.

  • Plan Ahead: Planning your care early can help you budget effectively and explore all funding options available.

We work with you to find cost-saving opportunities wherever possible, ensuring that you receive the care you need without financial stress.
