Care home fees are the median weekly fee published by homes in Wiltshire, 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 Homes that do not publish a fee are not counted, and fees vary widely between homes.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.

Live-in care in Tidworth: the local picture

No live-in carer on PrimeCarers lives within 10 miles of Tidworth, and 25 within 25 miles. The nearest is based about 17 miles away. Their advertised rates put a typical week at £1,050, with our fee included, and the middle half of them between £1,036 and £1,120.

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