A typical live-in week is £1,120 from carers within 25 miles of Abergavenny, with our fee included, and the middle half of advertised rates run from £1,029 to £1,278. Here is where that sits against a care home.

Care home figures are averages for England; too few homes in Monmouthshire 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.

On PrimeCarers you choose the carer yourself from the profiles of those who can reach Abergavenny, 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 Abergavenny 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.
