Live-in Care Costs

How Much Does Live-In Care Cost?

Live-in care costs in the UK typically start from around £1,350 per week, depending on the level of care required, the complexity of needs, and whether specialist support is needed.
Live-in care provides 24 hour care at home, allowing individuals to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving continuous, one-to-one support from a dedicated Care Professional.

What Affects the Cost of Live-In Care?

The cost of live-in care is shaped around the individual, not a fixed template. Factors that may affect the overall cost include:

  • The level of personal care required
  • Mobility support needs
  • Dementia or memory-related care
  • Specialist or complex medical needs
  • Whether care is for an individual or a couple
  • The level of supervision required overnight

Because every situation is different, live-in care costs are calculated following a personalised care assessment, ensuring costs reflect real needs rather than assumptions.

24 Hour Care at Home vs Care Home Costs

Many families ask whether 24 hour care at home is more expensive than residential care.

Care home fees often include accommodation, food and care, with costs commonly exceeding £60,000 per year, depending on location and care needs.

Live-in care allows you to:

  • Remain in your own home
  • Avoid care home accommodation fees
  • Receive one-to-one personalised care
  • Maintain routines, independence and lifestyle

For many people, live-in care can be a cost-effective alternative to residential care, particularly for couples or those who value remaining at home.

Is Live-In Care More Affordable Than You Might Think?

Live-in care is often perceived as expensive. However, when compared with care homes or multiple daily care visits, it can represent strong long-term value.

This is because live-in care is:

  • Fully personalised
  • Charged as a clear weekly service
  • Scaled to actual care needs

You only pay for the care you need, with no hidden charges or unnecessary extras.
