What it costs

What live-in care costs in Ystalyfera, against the alternatives

A typical live-in week is £1,050 from carers within 25 miles of Ystalyfera, with our fee included, and the middle half of advertised rates run from £1,020 to £1,137. Here is where that sits against a care home.

A week of care in Neath Port Talbot, on one scaleWeekly cost, our fee included where it applies
  1. Live-in caretypical week on PrimeCarers£1,050
  2. A couple, one live-in carerabout a fifth more than for one£1,350
  3. Care home, England averageone resident, before extras£1,160

Care home figures are averages for England; too few homes in Neath Port Talbot 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.

From carers' own profiles, October 2026. Distances are straight-line, from the centre of Ystalyfera 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.
