The cost of home care in Bradford, and how to pay

The cost of home care in Bradford with us starts from £25 an hour for people paying privately. There are no travel or call-out charges. Rates may differ at evenings, weekends and bank holidays, and are confirmed before care starts. Below we explain what changes the cost and the ways you can pay.

NU Healthcare Provisions is a CQC-registered home care provider based in Shipley. We set out the full cost in writing after a free home assessment, so you know where you stand before anything is agreed.

How much does home care cost in Bradford?

• From £25 an hour (self-funder rate).
• Rates may differ at evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
• No travel or call-out charges.
• Overnight and live-in care are priced differently from visits. We'll explain the cost at your free assessment.
• We set out the full cost in writing before care begins.

What changes the cost

The total depends on how many visits you need, how long each one lasts, the time of day, and the level of support needed. A short morning visit to help with washing and dressing costs less each week than several visits a day. We'll talk this through with you and suggest a pattern that fits the help needed, not the other way round.

You can read what a visit includes on our page about home care visits, and about respite care at home, live-in care and home help and cleaning.

Ways to pay the cost of home care in Bradford

Paying privately

You can arrange care directly with us. No council assessment is needed.

Help from Bradford Council

Anyone can ask for a care needs assessment. If the council agrees you're eligible, it will also look at income and savings in a financial assessment to work out what you pay. The council lists its Independence Advice Hub on 01274 435400. See the council's guide to staying in your own home.

Direct Payments

If you get a Direct Payment, you may be able to use it to pay a CQC-registered agency such as ours, by agreement with the council. Read about using Direct Payments for home care, or the council's Direct Payments page.

Attendance Allowance

Attendance Allowance is for people over State Pension age and isn't means-tested. Attendance Allowance is paid to the person who needs care and they decide how to spend it. The DWP decides every claim. We can help with the form, free and with no obligation, at your assessment. See Attendance Allowance help in Bradford or Attendance Allowance on GOV.UK.

PIP

Personal Independence Payment is for people under State Pension age, and the DWP decides who gets it. See PIP on GOV.UK.

NHS Continuing Healthcare

NHS Continuing Healthcare is fully NHS-funded care for people whose main need is a health need, decided by the NHS after an assessment. See NHS Continuing Healthcare on the NHS website.

We can't give financial advice, but we're happy to explain how our care works alongside each of these options. For a step-by-step guide to setting up care, read how to arrange home care in Bradford.
