Cost of Home Care
Cost of Home Care
At Elite at Home, we believe in transparency when it comes to the cost of care. Just like every individual is unique, so are the factors that influence the cost of our services.
How much does home care cost?
We take a personalised approach to determining the cost of home care, which can vary based on factors such as the type and level of care needed, whether your care is funded by the local authority or health services, and the specific requirements of your care plan. Rest assured, we will explain our charges to you personally, ensuring complete clarity on how this is assessed. Our written agreement will comprehensively detail all aspects of our fees, including payment arrangements and any necessary revisions if you’re funding the care yourself.
Your peace of mind is our priority, and we are here to provide you with the highest level of care while keeping you fully informed about the financial aspects of our services.
