Never charged

What you are not billed for

  • The first assessment visit, however long it takes
  • The written care plan and every quarterly review
  • Introducing your named carer and their backup
  • The 24/7 on-call line, whether or not you use it
  • Rearranging visits with more than 24 hours’ notice

Cancelling a visit with less than 24 hours’ notice is charged at half the hourly rate, because the carer is already rostered. That is the only late fee we have.

Fees and insurance

How people usually pay

Private pay

Invoiced monthly in arrears against the visits actually delivered. Card, transfer or direct debit.

Insurance

We invoice most long-term care policies directly once you send us the policy number and the insurer confirms cover.

Local authority

If a needs assessment has awarded you a personal budget or direct payment, we can bill it and handle the paperwork.
