Cotswold Community Care aims to make understanding care costs straightforward. They offer a free Needs Assessment with a professional and empathetic Assessor who will outline a personalised care plan and discuss the associated costs.

 

The cost of care varies based on the service:

• Hourly Care: Charged at an hourly rate, with shorter calls being a percentage of that rate.

• Live-in Care: Charged at a daily rate for short-term "Respite Assignments" or a weekly rate for "ongoing Care Assignments."

 

The company emphasises transparency in its pricing, with no hidden fees or long notice periods. They are a private provider, not an agency, so Clients do not have to worry about agency fees. They also accept "Direct Payments," which are top-ups to social services funding.

Financial Support for Care in England
The company provides information on state funding for care in England. The threshold for paying for care in full is £23,250. If your assets, including most savings and investments, exceed this amount, you are considered able to pay for your own care.

It's important to note that when assessing your finances for in-home care, the value of your property is not taken into account. If you are unsure about your eligibility for state support, you can request a Financial Assessment from your local council to see if you qualify for full, partial, or no financial assistance. The company is able to advise you on this process.
