Care at Home Services (Domiciliary Care)

Providing care and support on your own home

How much will it cost?

Care at Home Services vary depending on what you want and the level of skill that your care worker may need. Standards and regulations have recently been introduced to ensure that people working in Care at Home services are selected, trained and supervised to make sure that you are looked after by someone who is competent, trustworthy and reliable. The cost of these safeguards is included in the fees charged by Care at Home providers.

In general, personal care is likely to cost between £19.50£29.00 per hour and live-in care from around £1000 - £1200 per week.

If you are purchasing care privately you should contact the various providers to get precise information about their charges. It is quite possible that fees vary across Berkshire depending on the availability of good carers and other factors.
