Cost of Home Care in Bournemouth

The average costs of home carers in Bournemouth, as advertised on PrimeCarers, are approximately £20.04 per hour for basic hourly care and around £154.70 per day for basic live-in care.

Understanding Home Care Costs

When you begin to explore the prospect of home care for yourself or a loved one, the cost is often one of the first things you will consider. It can be a daunting prospect, as home care has many variables that can impact the cost.

Before diving into comparing costs, it is necessary to note that the prices of home care services vary from one carer to another, largely because home carers on PrimeCarers platform are self-employed. This means that they have the freedom to set their own prices. However, for the purpose of this article, we will focus on the average costs of basic hourly and live-in care offered by our carers in Bournemouth.

Hourly Care in Bournemouth

Hourly care is precisely what it sounds like — a professional carer providing a certain amount of hours of assistance each day. The average cost of basic hourly care in Bournemouth is approximately £20.04 per hour.

Do keep in mind that certain factors can influence this rate, including special requirements. For example, the rate can be higher if a carer has specific skills or experiences, such as:

• Having a driving license.
• Owning a car.
• Experience with stomas or catheters.
• Cooking skills.
• Capable of taking care of couples.

With hourly care, carers are always compensated for their working hours. It's transparent and straightforward, which many clients find advantageous.

Live-in Care in Bournemouth

Live-in care is an excellent choice for those in need of round-the-clock support in the comfort of their own homes. The live-in care service means having a professional carer reside in the same household, ensuring that assistance is available day and night.

The average cost of basic live-in care in Bournemouth, according to our data, is approximately £154.70 per day. However, the cost can vary significantly depending on the nature of the work. For instance, thanks to the personalised nature of live-in care, a carer who is looking after a couple would expect to work an additional 2-4 hours per day compared to a carer who is looking after just one individual.
