When your loved one needs care, you want the best for them—someone who will be there to support them day and night, to help with everything from personal care to companionship. For many, live-in care meets all those requirements.
With live-in care, a highly trained, professional care worker moves into your loved one’s home to provide 24-hour care and support whenever they need it. Across the country, thousands are seeing the benefits of this unique service; continuing to live at home with a personal companion selected for them based on their likes, dislikes and interests.
The cost of live-in care
But when the time comes to look at the cost of live-in care, many find themselves facing an uncomfortable reality: live-in care can be expensive.
At Agincare, we ask why. Why should this personal approach to care cost you more? Why should you have to choose between the best care and being able to afford it. That’s why we have ensured you don’t have to.
Since our founding in 1986, Agincare has maintained one core principle: to offer high-quality care at an affordable price for all.
Quality Care Shouldn’t Be a Luxury
Agincare doesn’t believe that live-in care should be sold to you as a premium service. That’s why we offer the same high-quality, Care Quality Commission (CQC)-regulated live-in care as other leading live-in care providers but at a much lower cost. While other companies charge as much as £1542 per week for live-in care, Agincare provides the same fully managed service for just £1045 per week.
That’s a difference of nearly £500 every single week—a saving that makes an enormous difference for families trying to manage care without the financial strain.
How Agincare Keeps Costs Down Without Compromising on Care
If you’ve been comparing prices for live-in care, it’s natural to be sceptical about why one provider is more affordable than another. How can Agincare offer the same fully managed, regulated care for nearly £500 less per week than other providers?
The answer is simple. As a family-owned company, we remain committed to the values that founded our services over 35 years ago. We don’t follow the seasonal trends or increase our rates to only slightly undercut our competitors.
We don’t believe in selling live-in care to you as a premium service reserved for the wealthy, nor do we overcharge families who are already facing emotional and financial pressures. Instead, our focus remains on delivering exceptional care efficiently, without the unnecessary overhead costs that many competitors pass on to their clients.
What makes Agincare’s live-in care service different?
Agincare is one of the largest independent care providers in the country, trusted by thousands of families to care for their loved ones every year. As well as live-in care, we offer a full pathway of care services, including home care, care and nursing homes and supported living.
– Fully managed care
Each of our care options are fully managed by a professional team local to you. Unlike an agency, which will merely put you in touch with a self-employed care worker, our teams oversee and manage the package of care for your loved one.
This includes a dedicated care manager who will support you from the initial care planning to ongoing adjustments based on your loved one’s needs. This added service means you can be rest assured that someone is working behind the scenes to ensure the care you are paying for is working for you.
– Highly trained care teams
As part of our fully managed service, we also guarantee the ongoing training and supervision of our care teams. All of our live-in care workers are selected based on their experience, skills and passion for caregiving. They go through a complex vetting and training process to ensure they can meet your loved one’s needs, whatever the level of care they require.
Our care workers are trained to support a wide variety of needs including dementia care, mobility support or help with daily activities.
– Regulated by the Care Quality commission
Just like other leading providers of live-in care, all of our care services are regulated, and rated Good, by the Care Quality Commission. The CQC is the regulating body for health and social care in England and ensures that our care services meet their high standards of care.
In addition to this, we are rated Excellent on Trustpilot.

– Nationwide availability
As a nationwide care provider, our live-in care service is available no matter where you live in England. Whether your loved one lives in a small rural village or a busy urban area, Agincare will travel to you and ensure there is a care team on hand nearby to oversee their care and support.
The advantage of live-in care is that, as your loved one’s care worker will live with them, care can be delivered no matter where your loved one is living. This could include on family visits or even trips abroad. With live-in care, the support is entirely adaptive to wherever your loved one happens to be.
– 24/7 service
With live-in care, we really are by your side anywhere, anytime. We are one of the few care providers in the country to offer a 24/7 call service. Should you find yourself in need of emergency support, or need advice on the care options available, our local teams are always available to talk to you, no matter the day of the week or the time of the day.
From the moment you enquire into live-in care with us, you will be connected to a dedicated care advisor who will be available to guide you through the process of arranging care. They help you determine the best type of care for your loved one and can advise on what levels of care funding may be available to you.
Should you be happy to proceed, your care advisor will book in a free, no-obligation care assessment. This will enable us to determine the level of support required and put together a bespoke quote.
Why pay more when you don’t have to?
The reality is, families shouldn’t be forced into a situation where they feel like they have to choose between the quality of care their loved one receives and what they can afford. You deserve both. And with Agincare, you can have both.
By choosing Agincare, you’re saving nearly £500 every single week. That’s a massive £26,000 a year. Imagine what that could mean for your family’s financial security or for other ways you could improve your loved one’s wellbeing, like home adaptations, additional therapy, or simply easing the financial burden that care can place on families.
Agincare understands that caring for a loved one is not just about providing the essentials—it’s about helping them live a full, dignified life in their own home, without adding unnecessary stress to the family. With Agincare, you’re choosing a provider that values affordability and high-quality care equally. The two should go hand in hand, and with Agincare, they do.
