The Clear and Transparent Costs of Live-In Care

Caremark keeps pricing straightforward and fair. From the start, you’ll receive an itemised quotation for live in care that explains exactly what’s included. We outline core fees for 24-hour live-in care and any additional services, such as waking nights or complex care. There are no hidden extras – just clear information that helps you plan with confidence.

We offer flexible payment options and can align invoices with funding cycles. Our team can also guide you through local authority funding assessments, NHS Continuing Healthcare and Attendance Allowance. Many families find that live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to residential care, especially when you value one-to-one attention, continuity and the comfort of home.
