We understand how stressful it can be organising home care for yourself or a loved one. That’s why we’ll aim to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible when it comes to costs.
Depending on your needs, home care costs will vary. Visiting care is charged at an hourly rate with live-in care, or “24-hour care”, quoted on either a daily rate for short-term respite or a weekly rate for ongoing care. We can discuss the level of care that is right for you and whether the cost of home care is financially sustainable for you and your family.
We’re fully upfront about our home care costs – you’ll only pay whatever is agreed in your care plan, so no hidden fees or long notice periods
Helping Hands are a private care provider rather than a care agency, which means you don’t have to worry about agency fees or retainers
If you’re receiving funding through social services and have opted for direct payments, we’re able to accept top-ups to these payments
Our visiting care provides you with bespoke care that enables you to receive the support you need, when you need it – because we know that your care requirements are unique to you
For care from as little as 30 minutes per week all the way up to regular calls every day, visiting care provides you with a flexible support package that gives you the support you need, when you need it
From the very start, we’ll give you a clear picture of how much your care will cost – and this will be confirmed once we put a comprehensive plan of care in place to suit your requirements
Live-in care could be the ideal solution if you require someone to assist you round-the-clock with your care needs but don’t wish to move to a residential nursing home or hospice
Your very own live-in carer will provide one-to-one support tailored to your exact requirements – for example if you have a type of dementia – giving you peace of mind that you’ll always be supported
Live-in care can either be for a sustained amount of time with no planned end date, or in the form of respite care, which is for short-term solutions lasting less than four weeks
If your assets, including most investments and savings, are greater than £23,250, your local authority will consider you able pay for your care yourself. It is worth noting that for integrated care within your own home, the value of your property will not be taken into account.
If you’re uncertain about your status, you can request a Financial Assessment from your local council to see if you qualify for help towards your care costs. Your assessment will be an evaluation of your financial means, and will calculate whether:
The majority of our families are paying for their care privately. We appreciate that this isn’t always straightforward for every customer, so we can sit down with you and your loved ones to work out a care plan and payment plan that allows you to receive the support you really need at the times when you’d find it most beneficial. And, of course, your care can always be adapted whenever your needs or preferences change.
When considering your best options for funding care, it’s important to ensure that all state benefit entitlements are explored. The benefits available to you will depend on your personal situation and needs, and can help you pay for the support you need.
