See live-in carers for MontroseWhat it costs
A typical live-in week is £1,047 around Angus, with our fee included, and the middle half of advertised rates run from £1,015 to £1,155. Here is where that sits against a care home.
Care home figures are averages for England; too few homes in Angus publish a fee for a local median. Fees vary widely between homes. At home you keep paying the household bills and the carer's food, so add those before you compare.
For a couple the gap is wide: one live-in carer for both of you is about £1,350 a week, and a care home charges two fees.
Past about 35 hours a week of visits, live-in care costs about the same and somebody is there all day.

The cost of live-in care in AngusMontrose in numbers
No live-in carer on PrimeCarers lives within 10 miles of Montrose, and 5 within 25 miles. The nearest is based about 11 miles away. Montrose is in the Angus council area, where 3,898 people are aged 85 or over: 3.4% of residents, more than the UK average of 2.6% (ONS, mid-2025).
A live-in carer moves into the home in Montrose and is there day and night: personal care, meals, medicines prompted at the right times, company, and someone in the house overnight. On PrimeCarers you choose the carer yourself from the profiles of those who can reach Montrose, agree the rate on their profile, and we set up the contract and the weekly payments. Families arrange it after an operation or a hospital stay, for dementia, for a couple, or when visits are no longer enough. How live-in care works goes through it step by step.
From carers' own profiles, October 2026. Distances are straight-line, from the centre of Montrose to where each carer says they live. Counts are the live-in carers with a photo and a live-in rate that our area searches return, at most 100 per area, so busy areas have more. Rates include our fee and are advertised day rates multiplied by seven; typical means the median. Availability for your dates needs confirming with each carer.
How to arrange it
Four steps, and the first two cost nothing. You choose the carer; we handle the checks, the contract and the payments.
A person, not a form

Lee-Ann
Account manager for families in Montrose
Someone to talk to first
Most families start with a call: what your relative needs, what it would cost, whether a live-in carer is the right answer or hourly visits would do, and what to ask a carer when you speak to them. Lee-Ann has those conversations every day and can tell you which of the carers in Montrose might suit, though the choice is always yours.
Help paying
Montrose is in the Angus council area. In Scotland, council-arranged personal care is free if your care needs assessment says you need it, regardless of age, income or savings. Other help, such as shopping or housework, can be charged for. Agree the assessment and support plan with the council before arranging privately funded care. Angus direct payments and council funding covers the authority at the town centre; check your home postcode if you live near a boundary.
Depending on needs, Pension Age Disability Payment and Personal and nursing care in Scotland can help too, and so can pensions, savings and the value in a home.
