The cost of home care
Practical guidance on home care costs and funding in Croydon and across the UK — so you can understand your options, compare care at home with residential care, and find support that fits your family's needs.
What does home care involve?
Home care (sometimes called domiciliary care) means care received in someone's own home instead of in a hospital, clinic, care home, or elsewhere. This could mean help with daily activities like cooking or getting dressed, or more intensive support when needed.
Is home care more affordable than a care home?
For many families, home care can be a more cost-effective alternative to residential care, particularly when only a few hours of support are needed each day.
According to recent UK care sector data, the average cost of a residential care home can exceed £1,300 per week, while nursing homes often cost £1,500 per week or more. In contrast, home care allows individuals to pay only for the support they require, whether that's a few visits per week, daily assistance, or specialist care.
Beyond financial considerations, home care offers the added benefits of remaining in familiar surroundings, maintaining independence, and receiving one-to-one support tailored to individual needs.
How much does home care cost?
The cost of home care varies depending on several factors, including:
- The type of care required
- The number of care hours needed each week
- Whether specialist support is required
- Your location
- The complexity of care needs
Industry sources suggest that home care costs across the UK can vary significantly depending on the level of support required. Because every situation is unique, the most accurate way to understand the likely cost of care is through a personalised assessment.
