The cost of live-in care in Manchester depends on the level of support you need. To give you an exact quote, we’ll first carry out a free, no-obligation care assessment, which you can book through our team of expert home-care advisors. 

At Agincare, we’re always upfront and transparent about pricing. What we agree after your assessment is exactly what you’ll pay—no hidden fees or long notice periods. 

Live-in care, which provides round-the-clock support, can cost from as little as £1,200 per week. While live-in care is typically more than home care, it can be more affordable than paying hourly or moving into a residential care home when 24-hour assistance is needed. Use our live-in care cost calculator to find out costs for the support you need. 

As a fully managed provider, you also won’t need to worry about paying your care workers’ holiday pay, agency fees, or retainers—whether you choose hourly home care or live-in care. If you are paying too much with your current care provider, our care cost savings tool can tell you how much you could save on care costs by switching to Agincare.
