The NHS is the primary provider of complex healthcare services in . Whilst much of this care is provided in hospital, services are also provided in other ways:
- In the person’s own home, where the NHS will either provide or fund a third-party partner or organisation to provide care services based on an assessment of needs.
- In a nursing home, where the individual is cared for in either a local authority funded home or a privately run nursing home.
- In a third-party partner’s facility where care is paid for by the NHS.

Live-in care costs & paying for care
24-hour live-in care costs are typically in line with a care home and sometimes less. The cost of a care home can vary significantly depending on the standards of care. If nursing care, specialist care of conditions or for those requiring stroke, cancer or palliative care, then the weekly fee can be considerably higher. When considering a care home, it is important to ask them what is included in the weekly fee as there are generally optional extras which can add up over the course of a year.
The cost of live-in care for couples
Live-in care for couples is fast becoming the preferred choice when one or both of you require long term care instead of moving into a care home. If you both have different needs you could find yourselves being split up within the home, which many will find very distressing. With live-in care there is one inclusive weekly fee for providing care at the same address, with a nominal charge to provide couples care. In a care home costs can be double for two separate packages of care and accommodation, making the choice to move into a care home not as cost effective for couples.
Local care management & teams
Our approach to live-in care ensures you have a dedicated regional care manager who is accountable for the service we provide, with a dedicated care manager who will be available to you and your family, on a day to day basis to ensure the live-in care we provide is to the very highest standards.
