Understanding Care Costs in 2025

At Excellent Care Support Ltd, we believe financial clarity is just as important.

Making care decisions for yourself or a loved one is complex. In a market with over 13,700 registered domiciliary care services across England (as of Jan 2025), identifying the right balance of quality and cost can be overwhelming. Whether you are planning for the future or managing an urgent crisis, our goal is to replace confusion with confidence.

The 2025 Pricing Landscape

Care costs are not one-size-fits-all. They fluctuate based on clinical complexity, frequency of visits, and geography. While the national average for domiciliary care sits at approximately £28.53 per hour (the minimum sustainable rate set by local authorities), rates vary significantly by service type:

Standard Personal Care: £20.00 – £35.00 per hour

Specialist/Clinical Care: £30.00 – £60.00 per hour (e.g., mental health or complex medical needs)

Live-in Care: Starts at £1,095/week for companionship, rising to £1,695+/week for advanced needs.

Note: Rates in urban hubs like Manchester and Bolton typically reflect the higher cost of living compared to rural areas or the North East.
