A Look at the Live-in Care Costs

At PrimeCarers, we understand that the financial aspects of this equation can be complex, and it's important to get a clear, straightforward view of what you can expect to pay. That's why we give you access to two key prices for live-in care: a basic rate and a complex rate.

In North East Lincolnshire, the average cost advertised for basic live-in care on the PrimeCarers platform is roughly £148.45 per day. This price is suitable for those requiring assistance with day-to-day tasks, personal hygiene, meals, errands and companionship.

On the other hand, the average price for complex live-in care services is around £177.07 per day. This higher cost is for those requiring advanced attention such as intensive nursing care, special professional expertise, or extensive night-time support.

Remember, these prices are averages and actual costs can vary, as all our carers are self-employed and set their own prices.

Factors Influencing the Cost of Live-In Care

It's important to keep in mind that the cost of live-in care may increase, depending upon certain factors related to your loved ones' individual circumstances.

Night-Time Attention: A carer might need to stay awake, attend to the person, or wake-up several times throughout the night. An increase in the cost of care is generally applicable in such cases.

Catering to Couples: When a carer is attending to two people rather than one, that can also influence the cost. However, there are ways to manage this increment in cost effectively. You can find an insightful article on this aspect here.

Advanced Nursing Care: This might be needed for dealing with complex medical conditions that require frequent medical attention, treatment administration, and specialised knowledge.

Unique Skills or Expertise: If your loved one prefers a carer who can speak a certain language, shares similar interests or possesses certain skills, these unique requirements often call for a premium.

Evaluating the Worth of Live-In Care

Live-in care costs may initially seem steep, but when we juxtapose these costs with the high-quality, personalised care that your loved ones receive, you can begin to appreciate the value of this kind of support. The emotional, physical, and psychological well-being that comes with staying at home in familiar surroundings, maintaining routines, and receiving round-the-clock care is unparalleled.

Compare the per-day cost with that of a residential care or nursing home, and live-in care can often prove to be a more economical option, particularly for couples.

Funding Your Loved One’s Live-In Care

We also understand that the cost of live-in care can be a concern for many families, but it's important to know that financial help is often available. Support can come from local councils, NHS, or even equity release schemes. Ensure you assess your eligibility and keep your options open.
