Transparent, honest pricing with no hidden fees – just straightforward care costs based on your personal needs and the support that’s right for you.
Clear, flexible pricing tailored to your level of support.
We know care costs can feel overwhelming. At Optimum Care, we offer clear, upfront pricing that reflects the type of care you need – from occasional visits to complex or live-in support.
Your care plan is fully personalised, and so is your pricing. Costs vary depending on visit length, frequency, level of need, and any specialist care required. All quotes are honest and obligation-free.
24/7 support from a dedicated carer. Price includes personal care, housekeeping, companionship, and full-time presence in your home. Ideal for high needs or ongoing support at home.
Flexible care from 30 minutes. Pay only for the time and type of support needed – whether that’s help with personal care, meals, mobility, or household tasks.
Short-term support when your usual carer takes a break or during recovery. Priced per day or per week depending on duration, complexity, and time of booking.
Specialist care for young people with physical, behavioural, or medical needs. Tailored pricing based on complexity and duration, with flexible support available mornings, evenings, or overnight.
Support that includes clinical or high-dependency needs such as PEG feeding or medication management. Prices reflect required skill level, training, and time commitment of your carer.
Some care during unsocial hours may include an enhanced hourly rate. We’ll always discuss this in advance so there are no surprises or hidden charges.
Care can be funded privately, through local authority support, or a combination of both. We’ll guide you through your options and help you find the most cost-effective and appropriate solution for your situation.
Many clients choose to fund care themselves. You maintain full control over your support and receive flexible, personalised care without needing assessments or approval.
Depending on your financial situation, your local council may contribute to your care. We’ll help you navigate assessments, eligibility, and care plan reviews.
If you’re eligible for local authority support, you may receive funds directly to manage your own care arrangements – giving you choice and flexibility in how and who provides care.
For individuals with significant health needs, full funding may be available through the NHS. We can help you apply and deliver care under NHS Continuing Healthcare if approved.
