Understanding the Cost of Home Care

When considering the price points we are discussing today, bear in mind that carers on the platform can set their own rates. Therefore, the prices represent averages based on advertised rates for carers based in North Lanarkshire.

The kind of care required significantly affects the total cost. Factors such as having specific skills or experience, maintaining a driving license, possessing cooking talents and even being comfortable to provide care for a couple could influence the final rate.

Hourly Home Care

Hourly care is calculated simply by how much time a carer spends with a individual. With an average cost of £17.71 per hour in North Lanarkshire, it's mainly suitable for those needing assistance a few hours a day for tasks such as bathing, meal preparation, or medication reminders. The advantage here is the flexibility, as individuals can utilise this service as little or as much as they need.

Live-in Home Care

Live-in care, as the name suggests, involves a carer living in the home with a person. These carers provide round-the-clock support and companionship, ensuring that the individual's care needs are met throughout the day and night. The cost can be influenced by the level of care required, the individual's health condition, and any specialized assistance that may be required. Based on North Lanarkshire’s average, this service typically costs about £148.92 per day.

In situations where a live-in carer is taking care of a couple, the caregiver may need to dedicate an additional 2-4 hours per day, and this should be factored into the cost analyses.

Additional Costs to Consider

There are some additional factors that may increment the cost of care. Carers with a driving license, a personal car or specialised skills (such as stoma or catheter experience), demand higher fees. Moreover, the willingness to care for couples or having specialized cooking skills can boost the rates.

Care Vetting and Security

Ensuring that carers are professional, trustworthy, and genuinely caring is paramount for PrimeCarers. We hand-pick our carers through a thorough vetting process which includes an enhanced DBS check, ensuring the right to work in the UK, and a professional interview conducted by our team.
