Costs & Funding
Introduction to home care costs
We know that understanding the costs of home care can feel overwhelming, so we strive to make it as simple as possible.
​
Home care costs will vary based on your needs. Visiting care is charged by the hour, while live-in or 24-hour care is quoted at a daily rate for short-term respite or a weekly rate for ongoing care. We’ll work with you to find the right level of care and ensure that the costs are manageable for you and your family.
The reason our clients trust us is because we're
Upfront about everything
Transparent Pricing:
We’re open about our costs – you’ll only pay what’s agreed in your care plan, with no hidden fees or long notice periods.
Not a care agency
Ali Gibson Support is a private care provider, not an agency. We always put our clients first.
Can accept direct payments
If you receive funding through social services and have opted for direct payments, we can accept top-ups to these payments.
Can I get financial support to pay for my care?
What We Do
In England, you will need to pay for your care in full if your assets, including most investments and savings, exceed £23,250.
​
If your assets are greater than this amount, your local authority will assess you as able to pay for your care independently.
However, it’s important to note that the value of your property is not considered when it comes to integrated care within your own home.
​
If you’re unsure about your financial situation, you can request a Financial Assessment from your local council. This assessment will evaluate your financial means and determine whether:
​
-
The council will pay for your care in full
-
The council will contribute towards your care costs
-
You will be responsible for paying the full cost of your care
Benefits to Assist with Care Costs
You may be eligible for benefits that can help cover the cost of your care.
​
When exploring your funding options for care, it’s essential to ensure that you’ve explored all available state benefits.
The benefits you qualify for will depend on your individual circumstances and needs, and can help contribute towards the support you require.
