Why Live In Care is More Cost Effective Than Ever

If you’re wondering what the cost of home care in the UK is currently, we can tell you that the Homecare Association recently announced that the average cost of an hour of domiciliary care has risen to £32.14. This price increase highlights the growing appeal of live in care, not only as a more personal and comfortable option but also as a significantly more cost effective solution.

If we break down the numbers, we can see that if a person requires 10 hours of domiciliary care daily, the weekly cost amounts to a staggering £2,249.80. By contrast, the cost of a live-in carer through Eximius Support is currently set at £1,675 per week. That’s a saving of over £570 per week!

Importantly, we have committed to maintaining this price even after April 2025, despite the anticipated increase in National Insurance Contributions outlined in the recent Budget.

The Benefits of Live In Care

Beyond the financial savings, live in care offers a range of unique advantages that can significantly enhance quality of life. For more details, visit our blog post here.

  • Consistency and Familiarity: Unlike rotating domiciliary carers, live-in care provides the reassurance of having the same dedicated person by your side every day. This consistency fosters trust and a strong personal bond.
  • Comfort of Home: Remaining in a familiar environment surrounded by personal belongings and memories can be incredibly comforting, particularly for those with dementia or other cognitive conditions.

  • Becoming Part of the Family: Over time, a live in carer often becomes more than just a care provider – they become a trusted companion and an integral part of the family.

With the rising costs of domiciliary care, live in care presents an increasingly compelling option for those seeking high quality care at home. Not only does it offer significant financial savings, but it also ensures continuity, comfort, and a personal touch that can transform the care experience.
