Our rate is clear and our care is genuinely one-to-one, at £28 per hour.
What is private home care?
Private home care is care you arrange and pay for yourself, rather than through a Health and Social Care Trust. It is sometimes called self-funded care. Because it does not depend on a Trust assessment or eligibility criteria, private care can usually be put in place quickly and shaped entirely around what you want.
Some people choose private care because they are not eligible for Trust-funded support, or would prefer not to wait. Others already receive a care package and use private care to top it up with extra visits, companionship or help at the weekend. Either way, you decide what your care looks like.

Clear, honest pricing
We believe care pricing should be easy to understand, with no surprises. Our private home care is charged at £28 per hour for genuine one-to-one support. There are no long contracts and no confusing tie-ins, just dependable care that fits around your life and can be adjusted whenever your needs change.
If you would like a clear idea of costs for a particular pattern of care, whether that is a few hours a week or full live-in support, we are always happy to talk it through plainly before you decide anything.
What private care can include
Your care is built around you, so it can be as light or as involved as you need. That might include personal care, help with meals and medication, companionship, trips to appointments, or a sitting service to give a family carer a break.
You can see the full range of support on our Domiciliary Care Services page, and for round-the-clock support at home, see our Live-in Care page.
Who chooses private care?
Private home care suits a wide range of situations, including people who:
- want care arranged quickly, for example after a hospital stay
- are not eligible for Trust-funded care but still need support
- would like to top up an existing care package with extra help
- value being able to choose their carer and set their own routine
- need respite care so a family member can take a well-earned break
Help with the cost of care
Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to support that helps towards the cost of care at home, such as Attendance Allowance. We are not financial advisers, but we are happy to point you towards the right places to check what you may be eligible for, so you can make an informed decision.
