We provide a wide range of senior care services to support your loved one with the activities of daily living.

How much does Live-in Dementia Care cost?
If your loved one requires round the clock support, you may be considering Live-in Care or a care home. The cost of these options is often a key deciding factor.
Live-in Care for dementia is often considered a suitable and cost effective alternative to a care home, enabling your loved one to stay in familiar surroundings. This can sometimes be more suitable for someone with dementia as the upheaval of moving and living in an unfamiliar place can cause additional distress. Live-in Care for couples is particularly cost effective when compared with the cost of paying for two sets of care home fees.
In addition, choosing Live-in Dementia Care means that the value of the home will be disregarded in assessing your loved one’s eligibility for financial help from the local authority. This allows your loved one to keep their home as an asset

Because of this, more people are choosing to pay for the cost of in home Dementia Care. When caring for someone with dementia at home seems overwhelming, professional support can make it manageable while keeping your loved one in familiar surroundings.
If your loved one’s dementia is severe and requires skilled nursing care, a care or nursing home may be a more suitable option. However, there are many advantages to choosing Dementia Home Care, if it’s safe to do so.
