When it comes to setting up care for your loved one or yourself, we understand that finances play a huge part in making your decision. That’s why at Helping Hands, we make sure we are upfront with our costs from the very beginning. We also ensure you are not faced with any hidden fees or unpleasant charges.
Since 1989, we have been providing care at home for thousands of families across England and Wales. Our Enfield home care team is just one of our amazing branches that specialises in different types of care including dementia care, palliative care and elderly care. No matter what condition you are living with, we will promise to provide you with the exceptional care, you deserve.
We like to keep things simple when it comes to costs, which is why all our care plans are provided on a visiting and live-in care basis.
Visiting care costs
Visiting care is ideal for those who need care little and often. So, whether you need support getting ready in the morning, help to prepare tea or a companion to accompany you to your medical appointments, our care team will be able to assist you, whenever you need support. Visits start from 30 minutes a week and can last up to 60 minutes. Prices start from £22.29 per hour with a call-out fee of £4.25 per visit to cover travel. Please note, prices will vary due to your location and requirements. Overnight care, care on weekends and bank holidays is also available.
Live-in care costs
Having a live-in carer allows you to have constant support at home, so you can live comfortably and independently in a place you love. Plus, you won’t be restricted to any set mealtimes or visiting hours as you’ll have full control over your care plan. Prices for our live-in care packages start from £1,460 per week for a single person and £1,700 per week for a couple.
Before calculating your costs for your care, it’s worth researching to see whether you qualify for any additional funding. You may be entitled to funding from your local authority or the NHS. If you need more information, you can visit our FAQs page on costs and funding or if you prefer to talk to someone, then you can call our customer care team.
As well as funding, you may be entitled to certain benefits that will help towards the cost of your care. If you are 65 years or over you can have access to Attendance Allowance and Pensions Credit. There are also benefits to help towards your heating and energy bills in the winter. So, get in touch with our Enfield care team and we will be happy to advise you.
