No VAT is added
Our assessed care and welfare services are normally VAT exempt when delivered as CQC-regulated personal care. We do not add VAT to the prices on this page where the service qualifies as VAT exempt.
Assessment first, then your quote.
Call us
Tell us about the person, their needs, and your timescales. Straight answers from the first call.
Care assessment
A care needs assessment in the person's home, usually within 48 hours, at no charge and with no obligation.
Your quote
We put the price in writing, based on what the assessment found. It's held for 30 days, so there's no pressure to decide on the day.
All packages are confirmed by a care needs assessment before care begins, so the plan fits the person, not the brochure.
