Payments & Funding
Not only do we strive to deliver the best quality care, we also strive to offer a pricing structure that is extremely competitive, fair and affordable. Visit prices:
Daily (every day) care cost: £26.99 for 50 minutes, or £18.99 for 20 minutes.
Non-daily care cost: £29.99 for 50 minutes, or £21.99 for 20 minutes.
We have no hidden fees. PPE is paid for and covered for by MoralCare. Travelling costs are accounted for, and the visits do not include travel to and from the visit. The 50 minutes or 20 minutes is for the visit time itself. Longer visits are available as needed (i.e. 2 hours, 3 hour, 4 hour blocks.)
Can the council fund your care?
You might be eligible for the local council to pay towards the cost of your social care if you have less than £23,250 in savings (called the upper capital limit, or UCL).
You are not forced to go with any company you do not want to. You are in charge of your own budget and you can choose the company yourself. We highly recommend that you instruct the council to load your budget to a direct payment card, this gives you the ultimate freedom to spend your funding on any provider you wish. It also prevents you from losing your slot within the company, should you go to the hospital. (If the council sources your care for you, you will be forced to forfeit your place after a 3+ day hospital stay.)
