We understand how stressful it can be organising care for yourself or a loved one. That’s why we’ll aim to keep things as simple and straight-forward as possible when it comes to costs.

Depending on your needs, home care costs will vary. Visiting care is charged at an hourly rate while live-in care is quoted on either a daily rate (for short-term respite) or weekly rate for ongoing care. We can discuss the level of care that is right for you and whether the cost of home care is financially sustainable for you or your loved one.
Although the majority of families are paying for their care privately, it may be possible for you to access funding from your Local Authority (Social Services) or Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). In these cases, we work closely with the funding body to ensure you get the right support to give you a better quality of life at home.
For care from as little as 30 minutes per day all the way up to four calls throughout the day, visiting care enables you to receive support that suits you. And with care that’s flexible that can adapt to your changing needs, you can rest assured that you will always have a carer there when you need them.
From the start, we’ll give you a clear picture of how much care will cost which will be confirmed once a plan of care has been agreed.
Our visiting care fees vary across the country but start from as little as £25.00 per hour.

For more intensive support, live-in care could be the ideal solution if you require someone to assist you round-the-clock with your care needs. Living with you in your home, your very own live-in carer will provide one-to-one support tailored to your exact requirements, for example if you have a type of dementia – giving you peace of mind that you always have help available should you need it.
Live-in care can either be ongoing or in the form of respite care, which is for short-term solutions usually lasting less than four weeks.

When organising care for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to understand how local authorities sometimes manage care for those who are self-funding.
If you contact your local authority for help with arranging care, they may act as a broker, managing the process for you. While this might seem convenient, what many people don’t realise is that:
This system limits your access to many high-quality independent providers because only the framework providers are used, and you may not even be told about other options. Framework providers are often under significant financial pressure, leaving little room to invest in training, quality improvements, or personalised support.
At Blue Ribbon, we work directly with you—without local authority brokerage—so you can:
If you’re considering care, whether privately or through direct payments, it’s worth exploring independent providers to ensure you get the best quality care for your investment.
