COSTS OF CARE

Home Care – What Are The Costs?

The way we live our lives has changed rapidly over the years. Where once friends and family were close by, for many, this is no longer the case.
Nowadays our neighbours can often be strangers to us.

This means when it comes to care, many people turn to residential or nursing homes. However, we believe receiving
care in the comfort of your own home is often the best option.

Care Packages and Costs

There are many benefits to staying in familiar surroundings, not only because your home comforts surround you, but it means your house won’t be sold to pay for care costs and you may be eligible for funding benefits you wouldn’t get were you to move into residential care.

Here’s a rundown of our care packages and costs:

Hourly Care Costs

In Home Care offer a number of care services which range between 30-minute visits to hourly, occasional, respite and daily ongoing care.

You’ll receive care in the privacy of your own home and our services include:

Through to specialist care including end of life care.

Our visits start from a minimum of half an hour to an hour or more. Our rates are priced ‘per hour’ with the price changing depending on your requirements, time and day of visit and the length of time needed per visit from our care team.

Half-hour Visits

From £24 per half hour

One Hour+ Visit

From £32 per hour

Location Specific Hourly Care Cost

Hourly and half-hourly care visits offer you reassurance and support as and when you need it, which means the rest of the time, you’ll be able to carry on living the life you love in comfortable surroundings.

Before deciding on what’s best for you, we’ll discuss your needs and arrange a meeting, draw up a care plan and set a date to start.

Our care services include, but are not limited to:

Tele Care Calls

We understand a daily phone call can make all the difference to a person’s life – especially if they’re lonely, isolated or suffer from confusion.
It’s not only a difficult time for those it affects, but it’s also a worrying time for their loved ones too. That’s why we offer a telephone service to everyone – whether they receive one of our care packages or not.

Tele Care Price

£5

For the first 10 minutes

One of our lovely team members will call, not only for general ‘chit-chat,’ but also to double check medications have been taken or remind clients to remember an event or cook and eat their meal.
Companionship and a friendly voice are things we take for granted, that’s why In Home Care want to make sure nobody has to live their life alone with nobody to talk to.

Additional service: We’re happy to offer a double up service alongside our Tele Care Call should it turn out the person we’re calling needs us to visit them for any reason. Our carers will attend to the person for an additional charge
*see emergency call outs.

Knowing we can be there quickly to sort out any problems not only gives our clients peace of mind, but it relieves the worry from the shoulders of their loved ones too.
