Paying for Live-In Care
Answering all your questions about the costs involved with live-in care.
Paying for Your
Live-In Care
Services
Finances can be a huge barrier that prevents people from receiving the type of care that best suits them. At Guardian Live-In Care, we believe that services like ours shouldn’t only be an option for those who can pay one specific way.
If care from the familiarity of home is what works best for your loved one, we want to help you find a way to make that a reality. Our range of payment options hopefully achieve this – ensuring you have a variety of ways you can employ our services.
Common Payment Options
Healthcare Funding
Finding the funds to afford the care you’re looking for isn’t always easy. Whether you’re looking to privately fund a live-in care companion or whether you’re looking to find support funds, it’s important to do some research into all payment options available. Many families may find that they are eligible for funding through the NHS or their local authorities.
Choosing Care
When researching care providers for the first time, it can be difficult to know what you should be looking for. Getting the best quality service is important, but with so many variables and inclusions on offer it isn’t easy to know what you should be choosing. Everything comes down to what you and your loved one need the most from a care companion, and it is essential that you look into any provider before enlisting their services to ensure they’re experienced and qualified.

Self-Directed Support
The Scottish Government believes everyone should be in control of their life. Some people need support to lead an independent life and advocacy to be empowered make important decisions about their life.
To achieve this the Scottish Government introduced The Social Care (Self-directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013. The Act came into force on 01 April 2014 and places a duty on local authority social work departments to offer people who are eligible for social care a range of choices over how they receive their social care and support.
Self-directed Support allows people, their carers and their families to make informed choices on what their support looks like and how it is delivered, making it possible to meet agreed personal outcomes.
Self-Directed Support (SDS), enables you to have more choice and control over the support you receive. In the past, your local council may have arranged your support package for you, but now Self-Directed Support gives you freedom of choice and allows you to choose how your support is provided, giving you and your family greater flexibility, choice and control over your support.

Why Choose
Live-In Care?
As you research into care options, you may wonder why you should choose live-in care over other forms of care. For some families, a care home or a nursing home works best, however for many this uprooting of a person’s life can be overwhelming.
Live-in care, for a similar price, allows somebody to receive care entirely personalised to their needs all while allowing them to remain in the independence of living in their own home. Remaining in the comfort of your own familiar space can make a world of difference to many people, and it can make the transition into a new chapter of life much easier.
