No Hidden Fees

Our pricing is designed to be straightforward.

  • Bank holiday uplifts are included where they apply
  • Mileage charged only for long-distance packages, agreed upfront
  • No call-out fees, no admin fees, no surprises
  • All carers DBS-checked and trained to Skills for Care standards

How Care Can Be Funded

Whether you’re paying privately or accessing council support, we can help you understand your options.

  • Self-funded (private) care
  • Direct payments and personal budgets accepted
  • NHS Continuing Healthcare (where applicable)
  • Combination packages (private top-up of council-funded care)

We work with local authority care managers and can support you through financial assessments. Packages must align with assessed care needs and agreed funding levels.
