How much does home care cost?

We know that you are looking for the highest quality of home care, and we understand that whilst you are looking at your options that you may also want to understand more about home care costs.

We always provide a full care assessment, in person at the home of the person we will be supporting to fully understand their needs and wishes. Following an assessment, we are in a better position to provide you with the actual cost of the care delivery.

An introduction to home care funding

When you find that you need care and support for yourself or a loved one it can be a worrying time. It’s the type of service that we don’t really think about until we need it.

Understanding what your options are for home care funding is important, so we’ve provided information here for your convenience. If you would prefer to have a chat with a member of our team then please get in touch as we’ll be more than happy to help at this difficult time.

Our staff are experienced and knowledgeable about every stage of the journey in home care and support, it may be of help to discuss your options.

Local Authority support with home care funding

The first port of call needs to be Adult Social Services, they can be contacted from your local council website. www.essex.gov.uk tel: 0345 743 0430.  Social Services will assess whether funding for social care will be granted, this is means tested.

You may already know that you or your loved one will not qualify for social care funding, however there are also non-means tested allowances that you could be entitled to anyway.

Paying for care privately

You might purchase care privately for the following reasons;

  • You do not qualify for the means-tested social care funding.
  • The Local Authority is not providing all the funding that you would like so you may wish to ‘top up’ your care with private payments.
  • You might wish to buy care to help a loved one in addition to the support they already receive or to enhance their quality of life.

If you would like a chat, or have  more information about home care funding and costs, please call us now on 01702 426692 to discuss your requirements at a time that suits you.

Why choose Premier Care

Everyone is so helpful from the carers who treat my relation with such care and compassion, to the backroom team who have always made things as simple and easy as possible for us.

It makes things easier for me and I don’t worry so much.

Relative of Service User, Basildon

Thank you all for your kindest and support in looking after my wife, SM. She looked forward to chatting to you in the morning and she always tried to put on her make up before you arrived. It really helped her keep going, many thanks

S.M Benfleet

Thank you so much for your help in arranging things for JL. In particular when you managed to arrange someone on the day I was meant to be going to London. I couldn’t manage without you. God Bless You.

P.R Basildon

We wanted to say a huge thank you for all the love, care and support of our dear mum DP. All the team at Premier Care were a huge part of mum’s life in her final years and it is thanks to you all that I had support from all of you while I was having treatment for breast cancer and mum received the wonderful care from all of you. This meant she was able to remain at home in her own environment where her friends and family could still be around he and not having to go into a nursing home and it helped me so much. All of you helped enormously to keep her cheerful and happy and she loved you all

M.P Rayleigh

I wanted to thank you for the help I have had over the last few weeks from your ladies. It’s been a pleasure to see them each morning and I felt at ease with all of them. So thank you very much for your service.

Mrs L.M Canvey

To all the lovely carers at Premier Care.  Thank you so much for the lovely manner in which you care for dad.  Always with a smile, making sure dad had his dignity at all time and the support you showed C.H and I at this difficult time was amazing and will never be forgotten.

N.H and C.H Haleigh

I am so pleased with the care Premier Care are giving my mum; all the carers have been kind and caring to mum and keep her comfortable.  They are so patient with her.  She was worried because you hear unpleasant stories about some care companies but we are so pleased with you and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.

S.M Benfleet

My carers are very flexible and I need this as I am pretty much bed bound. I feel very safe with them. I feel comfortable with communication between myself and Premier Care.

C.A Basildon

The carers are fantastic, very caring. Thank you for looking after mum so well, that’s why she is now 101 years old

B.G Canvey Island

If I was asked to change, I would say that I wanted to stay with Premier Car, They are all good and know what they are doing.

LP

We just wanted to thank everyone at Premier Care for the care they gave to L.B on his recent release from hospital.

The whole team were so kind and treated dad with dignity, compassion and respect.
They became part of the family and were so supportive of us all.

They made him comfortable in his final days and for that we are truly grateful.

L.B

I would like to thank you all for the support and care you gave I.N. You made life more comfortable for her and reassuring for me and the rest of the family.
