Making the decision to arrange live in care can feel like a big step, and we’re here to help explain the process and the many benefits for your family. Not only does it mean that your loved one can continue to live in their own home, with the comfort of familiar memories and surroundings, but it gives you peace of mind in knowing they are safe and comfortable, and as well looked after as if you were there yourself. Our live in carers are highly trained, dedicated to their roles, and respectful of the unique position they hold in supporting someone around the clock.
Is live in care cheaper than a residential care home?
There are numerous factors to take into consideration when it comes to estimating the potential cost of live in care vs residential care, though typically, live in care almost always ends up more cost effective.
The average cost of residential care rose by 9.6% between 2016 and 2017, and with the number of people over 65 requiring 24 hour-care expected to increase by a third over the next 20 years, there’s a high likelihood that residential care home prices will only continue to rise as demands for a space increase.
Live in care costs are unaffected by many of the overhead factors that determine the price of residential care, making it more affordable overall. Our live in care service enables you or your loved one to remain in the comfort of their own home and receive the best possible care.
