Live-in care in Colchester
Could you benefit from support with finding live-in care in Colchester?
Colchester is a historic town in Essex and the former capital of Roman Britain. The town is just minutes away from the coast and also boasts attractions, Colchester Zoo and Colchester Castle.
The thought of having a live-in carer can be a daunting prospect for many, but there are many benefits. These include being able to remain in the comfort of your own home, receiving consistent care & having a companion to keep you company. To have a live-in carer, you must have a spare room in your house for them to stay in. It is also worth noting that live-in carers are entitled to a 2-hour break per day.
TrustedCare is an online directory of care services in the UK. All of the live-in care services listed in Colchester are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC regulates care services to ensure that they are running safely, effectively, responsively and are caring and well-led. Each service is provided with a rating that can range from outstanding to inadequate. You can view a service's latest rating via their TrustedCare profile.
The cost of live-in care averages at £1,049 in the Colchester area but will depend upon the individual care needs of the person and the care provider. Some people may be eligible for funding support from their local council if their assets are assessed as being below £23,250. If you think you may fit the eligibility, we recommend that you contact your council to arrange a Financial Assessment as soon as possible.
If you would like the help of TrustedCare’s Care Adviser team with finding live-in care in Colchester, please do get in touch with us. We would be delighted to help you with your search.
