At BluesKer, we receive many calls from residents and family members across East and Mid Sussex asking one key question: “How much does home care cost?” It’s an important and complex question, as the cost of care depends on various factors, such as the type of care you need, the length of each visit, and the frequency of support.
To help you better understand, we’ve prepared this quick guide to answer some of the basics, though care costs can vary widely depending on individual needs.
Funding Options
According to East Sussex County Council, home care costs differ based on your location and the services you require. On average:
- If you are self-funding your care, you can expect to pay around £30 per hour for home care services.
- If you have more than £23,250 in savings and assets, you will be expected to pay the full cost of your care and arrange your support independently. This arrangement is known as self-funding.
It’s worth noting that the exact cost can vary depending on the level of care you need. For example, someone needing personal care a few times a week may pay less than someone requiring live-in care or dementia support.
