Costs & Funding

Clear, transparent information to help you plan care with confidence.

We understand that the cost of care is one of the most important considerations when arranging support.
Our approach is open and transparent, helping you understand your options clearly and make informed decisions with confidence.

Understanding Care Costs

How much does home care cost?

The cost of home care depends on the type and level of support required.
This may include:

  • Hourly home care
  • Multiple daily visits
  • Double-handed care
  • Live-in care
  • Specialist support
  • Hospital-to-home care

Because everyone’s needs are different, we provide a clear personalised quote following your free assessment.

What influences pricing

What affects the cost of care?

Care costs vary depending on:

  • Type of care required
  • Frequency and length of visits
  • Whether one or two carers are needed
  • Time of day care is provided
  • Complexity of needs
  • Whether care is short-term or ongoing
Our commitment

Clear pricing with no hidden charges

With AliceCare@Home:

  • Costs are explained clearly during your assessment
  • Care plans reflect the agreed support
  • Changes to care are discussed in advance
  • Families are kept informed if needs change

There are no hidden charges.

Funding care

Private funding and Direct Payments

Many families arrange care privately. This allows flexibility and greater control.
Some people may also use Direct Payments from their local authority to arrange care. This can sometimes be combined with private funding depending on the assessment outcome.

Short-term care

Hospital-to-home support

After a hospital stay, some people need short-term care while recovering.
This support may:

  • Be temporary
  • Reduce as independence improves
  • Transition into longer-term care if needed
Planning care

Thinking ahead can make decisions easier

Many families contact us before care is urgently needed.
Planning ahead can reduce stress, allow time to explore options, and help families make confident decisions.
