COSTS AND FUNDING

How much does live-in care cost?Do I qualify for funding?

We are always transparent on price and have an online cost calculator to help you determine what the cost of live-in care might be for you.

The cost of our live-in care services depends on the level of support you require.

If you have concerns or questions about the cost of live-in care and would like to know what funding options may be available to you, we can help.

You may qualify for some level of funding from your local authority or the NHS. State assistance for care is means-tested through a financial assessment by your local authority.

If your assets are less than the lower limit of £14,250 in England, then 100% of your care should be funded. However, you may be expected to make a contribution if you receive certain benefits or have any income.

If your assets are more than the upper limit of £23,250 in England, then you will normally be expected to pay for your own care in full.
