Costs to consider
We appreciate that cost is one of the main factors to consider, when evaluating different care options.

Choice Homecare we support different payment methods and can accomodate
payments from different sources. We work in conjunction with several
local authorities and welcome clients on the Direct Payment or
Individual Budget schemes. Contact us for

How it all works
Care-workers will invoice a nominated
person every week for the services they provide.
As an agency we submit monthly invoices to a nominated person.
After considering all the costs, we hope that you agree, Each person is unique and each circumstance is different. Please call us today, to share your personal situation, ask any questions you may have, or share your thoughts. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Average weekly costs & how this affects you.
In June 2013, we conducted market research, reviewing the
costs
of different types of care in London.
This allowed us to again evaluate our pricing
structure, confirming that we offer an excellent, professional and
supportive service at market competitive rates.
Our research identified the following average weekly costs for services:
| Live-in Care (Self
–employed)
|
Live-in Care (Employed) | Residential Care | Nursing Care |
| £700 | £850 | £825 | £920 |
All care-workers are self-employed
and are personally responsible for tax and National Insurance
Contributions.
The amount you pay the care-worker is based on a single
daily rate. We believe this is essential, because it gives you choice
and control over your care.
Please contact us to find out more.
Other costs to consider.
Live-in care-workers should be provided with a room of their own, a comfortable bed, 3 meals a day and materials needed to complete the tasks requested of them. e.g. cleaning materials, aprons and gloves.
Travelling costs are also charged for from central London.
