Calculating Live-in Care Costs
Using our cost calculator, it takes just a few minutes to calculate the estimated cost of live-in care tailored to your individual needs. This quick and easy step gives you a clearer idea of what to expect and helps you plan effectively.
It’s important to understand the cost of care early on, along with any funding options that may be available. Having this information upfront means you can make informed choices and avoid unexpected expenses later. Whether you’re arranging care for yourself or a loved one, knowing the financial side in advance is a key part of the process.
The cost of live-in care can vary depending on the complexity and type of care required. Weekly costs typically range from £1,200 to £1,600, reflecting different levels of need. For those requiring companionship or help with everyday tasks, costs are likely to be at the lower end of the range. However, if more specialist care is needed, for example, advanced dementia or palliative care, the cost will be higher to reflect the added expertise and support.
Agincare can help you understand care funding, including options like local authority support and NHS Continuing Healthcare. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for full or partial funding to help cover the cost of care. We’ll guide you through what’s available, how to apply, and how funding differs between live-in care and residential care homes. Unlike care homes, live-in care can be more flexible and personalised, often offering better value by allowing you to remain in the comfort of your own home while receiving one-to-one support.
Taking the time to calculate and understand live-in care costs now can help you make the right decision, both financially and in terms of the care you receive. Find more information on live-in care costs and funding here.
