Understanding the Costs of Live-in Care

The range of prices for live-in care can vary due to several factors, including the level of care required by the individual, the frequency of care, or specific unique skills and qualifications the carer might need.

Basic Live-in Care and Complex Live-in Care

We generally categorise care into two types; basic live-in care and complex live-in care.

1. Basic Live-in Care: This typically includes general support with daily tasks such as meal preparation, medication management, companionship, and contributing to maintaining a safe and secure environment for your loved one to live. At present, the cost of basic live-in care in Perthshire and Kinross averages £149.80.

2. Complex Live-in Care: This involves a more extensive range of support, such as specialised personal care, supervising medication, helping with mobility, and managing complex health conditions that require more intricate care or nursing-level care. The current average cost of complex care is £183.11.

Factors That May Increase the Costs

While these average values provide a point of reference, the actual costs you might experience could change based on several factors. For instance, the overall cost for live-in care in Perthshire and Kinross can increase if your loved one:

1. Frequently wakes at night: Users with distressing conditions often need attention at irregular hours, including at night, which may demand constant vigilance from the carer;

2. Is part of a couple: If both partners require care, the responsibilities of the carer will naturally increase and so will the overall cost for live-in care. Our article on Can Live-in Carers Look After Couples? provides an in-depth analysis of this topic;

3. Requires intensive nursing care: When a user requires extensive medical attention, the live-in carer will need to have appropriate nursing qualifications and skills, which will likely raise the price;

4. Needs a carer with unique skills: If the user has unique needs, e.g., requires a carer fluent in a particular language, this uniqueness factor may affect the cost of the care provided.
