What it costs
A typical live-in week is £1,050 from carers within 25 miles of Tarleton, with our fee included, and the middle half of advertised rates run from £1,022 to £1,152. Here is where that sits against a care home.
Care home fees are the median weekly fee published by homes in Lancashire, before extras. Homes that do not publish a fee are not counted, and fees vary widely between homes.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.

A live-in carer moves into the home in Tarleton 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 Tarleton, 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 Tarleton 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.

Lee-Ann
Account manager for families in Tarleton
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 Tarleton might suit, though the choice is always yours.
Help paying
Tarleton is in the Lancashire council area. Ask your council for a care needs assessment and, where relevant, a financial assessment. Help with care costs depends on eligible needs, finances and the agreed care plan. Lancashire 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, Attendance Allowance and NHS Continuing Healthcare can help too, and so can pensions, savings and the value in a home.
