Cost of care in Christchurch

Understanding your home care costs

At Helping Hands, we have been providing private care at home for more than 30 years. This means we directly recruit our carers. Plus, we make sure you are not subjected to any hidden costs, referral fees or unpleasant charges.

We understand how complicated it can get in terms of costs. That’s why we believe in transparency and being upfront about our costs. We like to be straightforward with you from the beginning, in other words, what you see is what you get. If you are still unsure, our Christchurch care team will be able to address any questions you may have.

It is best to contact your local authority and they can see if you are entitled to any funding via a Financial Assessment.
