Cost of Home Care Services in Worcestershire
Home care service providers in Worcestershire is a great method of helping to maintain your elderly relative’s independence in their own home, whilst potentially allowing yourself some respite from your own caring role. The cost of home care services across the county will vary depending on the type of care your relative requires, as you’ll be able to find out by exploring Age Space’s Worcestershire home care directory above. You can filter this based on the type of care you need to find, as well as viewing each provider’s CQC rating, allowing you to verify the quality of each service before trying it out. Costs will also vary based on your relative’s location within the county, as you will often find it more expensive to get home care in more remote, rural areas of Worcestershire compared with the more densely populated towns and cities like Worcester or Redditch. With these factors taken into account, the average cost of home care in Worcestershire is charged at around £26 per hour, so you might expect to pay an average of £364 per week for a typical fourteen hours, or two hours per day.
If your elderly relatives home care needs are greater than this and you find yourself paying for more full time home care, it may be worth considering live-in care as a more cost effective option, whilst also giving you peace of mind that your loved one has support 24/7. The average cost of live-in care in Worcestershire is around £1,261, but this can again vary based on location and intensity of care required.
