Curam makes live-in care transparent and affordable, hire trusted, self-employed carers directly and agree rates that suit your needs — with no hidden charges or agency mark-ups. Get quality 24-hour home care at a fair, upfront price.
The cost of live-in care in the UK with Curam typically ranges between £950 and £1,400 per week, depending on your location and the level of support needed. You agree the exact live-in carer rates directly with your chosen professional — so you only pay for the experience, hours and duties that suit your situation.
There are no agency mark-ups, hidden fees or exit charges, meaning you get truly affordable live-in care with complete transparency. Families stay in control of their budget while receiving the reassurance of 24-hour home care from qualified, self-employed carers across the UK.
The weekly rate covers your carer’s time, rest breaks, household contribution, Curam insurance and safeguarding support — making it one of the most cost-effective live-in care options available in the UK.
These guide prices are based on carers currently supporting Curam clients nationwide. Final live-in care costs may vary depending on experience, duties, location and complexity of needs.
£950 – £1,100 / week
Personalised one-to-one support including companionship, personal care and household help for clients who need daytime prompts and reassurance. This type of live-in home care helps older adults remain independent and safe at home instead of moving into residential care.
£1,100 – £1,350 / week
Experienced carers with specialist training in dementia, mobility, PEG feeding, stoma or catheter management. These specialist live-in carers provide tailored support for complex conditions at home — often at a lower cost than care homes offering similar levels of care.
£1,250 – £1,400 / week
Continuous 24-hour live-in care includes daytime assistance and scheduled overnight checks for those needing round-the-clock monitoring. This option is ideal for clients requiring 24-hour carer support at home for medical or dementia-related needs.
£1,350 – £1,600 / week
One carer supports two people in the same household, often making this the most cost-effective live-in care for couples in the UK. Instead of paying for two residential care placements, couples share one trusted carer and enjoy staying together at home with full 24-hour assistance.
Several key factors affect the cost of live-in care in the UK, and understanding them helps you balance the right level of support with your budget. At Curam, pricing is always transparent, with no agency mark-ups or hidden extras — you agree your rate directly with a self-employed caregiver who suits your needs.
The biggest factor in live-in care prices is the type of help required. Specialist or complex care such as dementia support, PEG feeding, mobility assistance, or waking nights requires additional skills, experience, and time. These cases attract slightly higher weekly live-in care costs, as carers provide continuous, personalised one-to-one care tailored to medical and emotional needs.
Your location in the UK also influences the cost of live-in care. Carers may adjust rates based on travel distance and local cost of living — areas such as London and the South East generally command higher fees than rural regions. Curam makes it easy to find experienced local carers near you, ensuring fair and competitive home care costs across the country.
Carers with extensive training, qualifications, or nursing backgrounds often charge more, reflecting their professional expertise. Highly skilled carers provide enhanced reassurance for families needing complex or dementia care at home. Curam’s platform features profiles with verified experience, references, and insurance — ensuring you can choose a trusted, qualified carer confidently.
The duration of your care arrangement also affects weekly rates. Long-term, stable bookings can attract more competitive pricing than short-term respite care or urgent placements. Many families choose to start with a trial period before confirming ongoing support, helping to build trust and consistency with their live-in carer.
There are several ways to help manage the cost of live-in care. A Curam care adviser can guide you through the options and signpost to independent financial advice.
If your assets fall below the threshold, you may receive a personal budget after a care needs and financial assessment.
Fully funded care for people with complex health needs. Curam carers can deliver packages commissioned by the NHS.
Receive money directly from your local authority or the NHS to arrange live-in care yourself through Curam.
Attendance Allowance, Pension Credit and Council Tax reductions can contribute towards weekly care costs.
Some families release property equity or use savings to stay at home rather than funding two care home places.
Relatives can add to a personal budget to increase hours or add specialist skills that make life easier day to day.
Comparing the cost of live-in care vs residential care helps families understand which option offers better value, comfort and independence. While both provide essential support, live-in care at home often proves more cost-effective, especially for couples, and delivers a higher level of personalised one-to-one care in familiar surroundings.
