Understanding the Costs of Home Care

As carers, we’re often asked about the costs involved in private home care, and rightly so – it's a significant investment for families. But what drives those costs, exactly?

At Right at Home Stockport, our team has years of experience providing top-notch care to families across the region. From hourly visits to live-in support, every package is tailored to meet unique needs. But behind every bill lies a host of dedicated carers working tirelessly to ensure loved ones receive the best possible support.

Although costs can vary depending on the type of care and volume required, we can tell you about the other side of that care and what it entails.

Breaking Down the Bills

So, you want to know what makes up the cost of home care? Let's break it down.

At Right at Home Stockport, our rates cover a range of services, from personal care to light housekeeping. But it's not just about ticking boxes – our carers take the time to understand unique needs and build relationships with clients that truly matter.

We factor in travel costs, training, and ongoing support for our team to ensure they deliver exceptional care. Of course, there are overheads to consider – from staff wages to administrative costs – which contribute to our overall rates. At Right at Home Stockport, we strive to strike a fair balance between providing competitive pricing and ensuring our carers receive the pay they deserve.

After all, our team members invest their hearts and souls into caring for others - and that deserves recognition.

The Cost of Care: Separating Fact From Fiction

One of the biggest misconceptions about home care is that it's only for the elderly or those with severe disabilities. Not true!

Many people need help with everyday tasks, whether due to illness, injury, or simply needing extra support. Our care provision is designed to be flexible, accommodating diverse needs and lifestyles. We've seen firsthand how home care can transform lives, giving people the confidence to live independently and pursue their passions.

By separating fact from fiction, we hope to dispel common myths surrounding home care and show families that support is within reach in the Stockport area. Whether you're looking for respite care, companionship, or more intensive support, we're here to guide you every step of the way.
