How much does live in care cost?

The cost of care is an important consideration and we believe in a straightforward, transparent relationship, right from the start.

The cost of live in care is determined by a range of factors. For example, the level of support required, varying from companionship to more complex care. This has the largest impact on the cost of care, as it determines the average number of hours the live in caregiver works across the day.

The cost of live in care will also depend on whether the care is for a single person or a couple. Care for couples can be highly cost effective, versus two places in residential care.
