One dedicated carer, living in your loved one's home, 24 hours a day. Sleeping nights included. No hidden extras, no "call us for a quote" games: the price is right here.
Every live-in price on one page, no quote form needed.
Families phoning at a difficult moment deserve better than a sales process. So here is ours, in full, held for 30 days from your quotation: what it costs, what's included, and the only extras that could ever apply.
One dedicated carer, resident 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sleeping nights included. The carer's daily two-hour rest break is covered within the household routine, as most families choose.
One live-in carer supporting both partners, subject to each person's own assessment.
All packages are confirmed by a care needs assessment before care begins, so the plan fits the person, not the brochure. The household provides the carer with a private room and meals, as is standard for live-in care.
Send it to us. Within 24 hours we'll tell you, honestly and free of charge, whether it's fair, what's missing from it, and what the same care would cost with us. If their quote is good, we'll tell you to take it. Families remember honesty longer than brochures.

Yes. One dedicated carer resident 24 hours a day, sleeping nights included, personal care, medication support, meals, housekeeping and companionship, with recruitment, training, insurance and holiday cover handled by SAL. The only possible extras are listed openly on this page: an optional relief carer, the hours a carer is awake if they are woken more than twice in a night, waking-night cover if needs change, a food allowance option, and mileage for outings. There are no other charges.
Because families deserve the number before the sales call. We publish ours and hold them for 30 days from your quotation.

Our assessed care and welfare services are normally VAT exempt when delivered as CQC-regulated personal care. We do not add VAT to the listed prices where the service qualifies as VAT exempt.
We can usually carry out the care assessment within 48 hours of your call, and care typically begins within days of the assessment, subject to carer availability and the person's needs.
A private room and three meals a day, as is standard for live-in care. If you would rather we handle food, a £45 per week food allowance can be added to the invoice.
The carer sleeps at night and is on hand if needed, included in the weekly rate. If the carer is woken more than twice in a night, that night is charged for the hours they are awake at our standard visiting rate of £38 per hour (£40 at weekends). If broken nights become the norm, we move to a dedicated waking-night arrangement at £360 per night (10 hours) and review the care plan, so the person stays safe overnight.
Yes. Alongside live-in care we provide hourly visiting care across Dorset, from £38 an hour on weekdays (£40 at weekends), with a one hour minimum. Every price is on our prices page, and we confirm what you need at your care assessment.
