If you’re already receiving care at home or in a care or nursing home, you may not realise just how much extra you are paying for care.
Many care providers add hidden fees to your standard weekly rate such as administration fees, additional surcharges at weekends and even padding for shareholder returns; all of which drive up your cost with no corresponding benefit to your quality of care.
The worst part? You might not even be aware of these costs.
That’s why we’re proud to introduce Agincare’s Cost Savings Calculator; a simple, transparent tool to show you how much you should be paying, and how much you could save by switching to us.
Real-World Savings: What Our Calculator Can Reveal
While we don’t share individual client names out of respect for confidentiality, we’ve used our internal data to build a unique care cost savings tool that tells you how much you could be saving instantly.
By analysing thousands of care packages across our range of care services, including home care, live-in care and care and nursing homes, all over the country, we found:
- Many families were overpaying by £100–£300+ per week when compared against what a fully managed, efficient provider could charge.
- A handful of individuals receiving home care were being charged rates close to or above what a care home costs, yet without the consistency, oversight or quality you’d expect from a residential home.
These kinds of mismatches are exactly what the calculator is designed to uncover. It doesn’t just provide a benchmark; it tailors a comparison based on your existing cost and the service you currently receive.
Why Switching to Agincare Is Easier (and More Beneficial) Than You Think
If you’re considering switching care providers, you might assume it’s a complicated or time-consuming process. Moving to Agincare is simple, transparent, and often far more rewarding than you expect. Here’s how we make it easy from start to finish.
1. Get a personalised estimate in seconds
Our Care Cost Savings Calculator walks you through a few quick questions about your needs — such as personal care, mobility, frequency of night support, and specialist requirements like medication management. Once you’ve entered your details, you’ll see an instant, tailored estimate.
2. No fuss, no long-term lock-ins
You won’t be tied into restrictive contracts, exit fees, or lengthy notice periods. If your needs change, we adapt with you. We handle all the logistics of reassessing your care and matching the right care worker, so you don’t have to.
3. A complete range of care services under one roof
We don’t focus on just one type of care. Agincare provides home care, live-in care, extra care, supported living, care homes, and nursing services — all managed by the same trusted provider. That means if your needs evolve, you can continue your journey with us, without switching providers or renegotiating terms.
4. Fully managed, never agency-based
Unlike introductory agencies that simply connect you with self-employed carers, every care worker at Agincare is directly employed, trained, supervised, and supported by our in-house team. We take responsibility for training, cover, replacements, and quality assurance, so you enjoy consistent, reliable care without the added costs or risks.
5. Transparent and fair pricing
Because Agincare is family owned, with no external shareholders or corporate debt, there’s no need to inflate care rates to cover investor returns. Every pound you spend goes directly into providing high-quality care, not shareholder dividends.
6. Stability, reliability, and long-term commitment
We’ve been rooted in local communities for decades, committed to providing person-centred care with long-term stability. You can rely on us to be here for the future.

Why We’re Different — and Why It Matters
Many care providers today are part of large corporate chains or private equity-backed groups. These models often prioritise investor returns over people’s care, leading to rising costs and inconsistent quality.
Agincare is different:
- We are family owned, with no shareholders or external financiers taking profits.
- Our model is built on trust, reputation, and long-term sustainability, not short-term margins.
- Our full spectrum of services means you can stay with one provider, even if your needs change.
- We reinvest continuously in our people, training, and innovation to maintain exceptional standards of care.
When people switch to Agincare, they often tell us things like:
“We didn’t believe we could get the same level of service at a lower price.”
“Switching was simpler than we ever imagined.”
“The transparency and integrity shown by Agincare was a breath of fresh air.”
We want you to experience that same peace of mind.
