What is the Cost of a Live-in Carer?

Elderly care is a basic need for many families, and you need a comfortable and safe solution. If you are in the process of thinking through your options, you will find that there are other options beyond care homes. 

 

Look into the benefits of round-the-clock live-in care. It is a lot more affordable than most people realize and gives your elder a much higher quality of life.

 

Many people ask the question: What is the cost of a live-in carer? Read on to figure out how much it might cost you. 

 

Choosing Between a Care Home and Home Care

Getting a full-time carer for your loved one offers far more advantages than disadvantages. Your elder will have the opportunity to continue enjoying the comfort and familiarity of home while enjoying a higher degree of independence. Live-in carers offer the most suitable care by far. 

 

When it comes to residential care homes, there is no assurance of good quality care. As the years have gone by, we have witnessed increasingly poorer and poorer standards of care in these facilities.

 

They do not offer consistent care and their services are not necessarily suited for the individual needs of an elder. 

 

The high costs of care homes can be shocking for families. Care homes within the UK require anything from £800 each week or higher. Some of them also charge disturbed night allowances and other such fees.

 

The Cost of Live-in Carers in the UK

We are an agency that provides self-managed live-in care to our clients in the UK. Our cost-effective elder care solutions provide 24-hour care at a reasonable rate. Clients should bear in mind that the cost of full-time carers varies from one case to another. 

 

What factors affect the cost of live-in care?

 

• We make this decision in consideration of the specific care needs of your loved ones: shopping, personal care, mobility assistance, night duties, etc. These specifics determine the overall cost.
• Number of patients under care: The cost of caring for a couple will be higher than that for an individual because of more labor involved. We often provide support to elderly couples living at home. 
• Medical conditions - Patients who are living with certain medical conditions may need carers with more specific skills. Even though we train our staff to handle charges with various medical conditions, we do charge more for more specialized care. 

 

When do you Require Two Carers?

There is nothing more precious than getting to grow old with the one you love. Care homes, however, do not allow married couples to live together.

 

With live-in home care, you can have a couple living together in their own home while enjoying round-the-clock care in a familiar environment. 

 

Carers provide the couple with emotional support, help with medicine, mobility assistance, shopping, as well as cleaning, and other needs. 

 

We assess the requirements of the couple before we advise you on whether or not you may require two carers.

 

If you find that your elder is active during the night and needs constant support during the night, it may necessitate including a second carer because the night-time responsibilities will be as heavy as day-time responsibilities. 

 

Couples who need a greater deal of attention for example with mobility and who use hoist equipment among other equipment, help with toileting, dressing, washing, as well as domestic support.
