Pricing and funding
Understanding how care is paid for
A plain-English guide to the ways families fund home care.
Self-funding
You arrange and pay for care directly. You decide the support, and we set out in writing what is included before anything starts.
- Agree visit times and carer preferences, subject to availability
- Written care plan and agreement
- Free assessment and personal quote
Local authority funding
Some people qualify for help from their council after a needs assessment. We can talk through how this works and what to ask for.
- Ask your council for a needs assessment
- Funding rules differ by area and circumstance
- We can explain how we may fit in
Direct payments
If your council offers direct payments, you may choose to use them to arrange your own care with a provider like us.
- You stay in control of how support is arranged
- Speak to us about whether we can support this
- We are happy to explain the paperwork we need
Good to know
What affects the cost
- How many visits each week and how long they last
- Time of day, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays
- The level of support needed, such as live-in care
- How quickly care needs to start
