Cost of Home Care Services in Kent

Across Kent, there are many organisations providing a wide range of home care services to help support elderly parents and relatives in their own homes.  Home care fees are usually priced by the hour, and will depend upon the type of care and support you need.  Where your loved one lives and how often they need someone to visit them will also impact on the cost of home care, for example, the more urban parts of the county, such as Maidstone and Canterbury, will have a greater number of home care options accessible and thus have more competitive pricing. Home care costs in Kent average at around £32 per hour and although this is higher than the UK’s average, you won’t have to expect to pay this amount depending on your circumstances and location. If you’re finding that home care fees are starting to mount up, it may be worth looking into Kent’s options for live-in care. The cost of live-in care averages at around £1,279 per week.
