Trinity Homecare’s ‘Outstanding’ rated home care services help you stay safe in familiar and comfortable surroundings.
Understanding the live in care cost is one of the first questions families ask when considering full time support at home. While every situation is different, live-in care can often offer excellent value when compared to residential care, particularly when personalised one-to-one support is important.
Trinity Homecare’s ‘Outstanding’ rated live-in care
Trinity Homecare provides CQC ‘Outstanding’ rated live-in care that enables you to remain safe and supported in familiar surroundings.
Unlike residential care homes, live-in care allows you to stay in your own home with a dedicated carer providing continuous support.
This means:
- Personalised one-to-one care
- Familiar routines and surroundings
- Greater independence and control
- Close proximity to family and friends
- Reduced disruption and stress
For many families comparing the cost of live-in care for elderly relatives against care home fees, the benefits of staying at home make live-in care a compelling alternative.
Exploring the cost of live-in care and how much does dementia care cost
The live-in care cost per week depends on individual care needs, complexity and location.
Trinity Homecare will organise all aspects of the care you or your loved one receives. Our live-in care service assesses, organises and monitors your care closely, with specialist carers and care managers who are with you every step of the way.
With Trinity live-in care, your care management team will usually visit you or your loved one at home to discuss your requirements and wishes. Once complete, we conduct a risk assessment to ensure everyone can live safely in the property. As your needs and requirements may change, all bespoke personal care plans are regularly reviewed and amended where necessary.
Our Trinity live-in care is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) where we hold an ‘Outstanding’ rating with particular praise for organisation. You can trust us to have your best interests at heart in terms of safety and wellbeing, whilst also delivering the highest levels of trustworthy home care.
Case Study: Julia & Joan
Julia was struggling to look after her elderly parents. Her mother, Joan, was falling, spending time in hospital, and was then diagnosed with dementia. “I wanted mum to have one-on-one care at home and she was never going to get that in a rest home,” explains Julia. Live-in care made sense too, as a couple, their budget went a lot further than if they were to both pay for two rooms in a rest home.
The Solution: Trinity live-in carer Sally turned all their lives around. “It was such a horrible situation and within two weeks Mum was up, out of bed in a wheelchair, looking clean, beautiful and happy,” says Julia. Sally supported Joan and her husband with all aspects of daily life, from personal care, to medication, to companionship. “Knowing she was there for mum and dad, meant I could live again.”
What affects the price of live-in care?
Several factors influence the live-in care cost, and understanding these helps families plan with clarity.
Care needs
The level of support required is the primary cost factor.
Companionship and light assistance with daily routines will cost less than complex care involving:
- Advanced dementia
- Mobility support or hoisting
- Clinical needs such as catheter or PEG care
- Behavioural or specialist support
More complex needs require experienced carers and may increase the weekly cost.
Location
Where you live can affect pricing. Care in London and the South East may be higher than in other regions due to living costs and carer availability.
Carer experience
Some situations require carers with advanced specialist training or significant experience. This can influence the overall cost.
Whether two carers are required
In some cases, two carers may be needed for safe transfers or more intensive support. This will increase the weekly fee.
Additional considerations
While live-in care is typically quoted as an all inclusive weekly rate, families should consider:
- Food for the carer
- Travel expenses in some cases
- Short term cover arrangements
- Holiday or respite arrangements
At Trinity, transparency is important. We provide clear, detailed pricing so you understand exactly what is included.
