It's important to note that the prices we reference in this article are not set in stone - instead, they're the average of the advertised rates for self-employed carers in Nottinghamshire. After all, the carers on PrimeCarers set their own prices, bringing us to a range from basic care to specialised care, all based on the carer's knowledge, skills, and experience.

The Variables: How Specialist Skills Impact Cost

With personalised home care services, several factors are considered to determine the exact cost of the care you require. The involvement of particular skills or experience may enhance the cost of care. These variables might include:

• Having a driving license
• Owning a car
• Experience with stomas or catheters
• Being comfortable with caring for couples
• Possessing cooking skills

Live-in Care: The Investment and What It Encompasses

Live-in care is comprehensive, around-the-clock assistance provided at home. The term 'live-in' means that your carer resides with you in your home, providing care and support as required. The higher variability in live-in care rates reflects that the number of hours worked per day will considerably vary depending on the nature of the work and specific care needs. A live-in carer can expect to work an additional 2-4 hours daily when offering care for a couple. You can learn more about this in our article, Can Live-in Carers Look After Couples?

Hourly Care: Paying for What You Need

With hourly care, the carer is paid for each hour of work they complete. This method provides flexibility, allowing you to tailor the schedule to your specific needs. You pay for what you need – no more, no less. For those requiring intermittent assistance, perhaps a couple of hours a day, the hourly care option can be appealing.

Professional Vetting, Your Peace of Mind

When entrusting someone with your care or the care of a loved one, trust and integrity are paramount. Carers on the PrimeCarers platform have undergone rigorous vetting including Enhanced DBS checks, ID verification, Right to Work checks, and professional interviews conducted by our team.
