The precise cost is always tailored to the individual, depending on their specific care needs and the level of support required. For a personalised and accurate pricing plan, please speak with our dedicated care advisors.
An Elder live-in carer performs a wide range of daily tasks tailored to your loved one's needs, including:
Please note, our carers do not provide complex medical procedures (e.g. Stoma care, PEG care and wound care) that require a registered nurse.
Yes, absolutely! Elder's live-in care is a quality and often cheaper alternative to a care home. Residential care frequently involves extra fees beyond the headline price, and can become especially costly for couples who typically need to pay for two separate rooms.
Your loved one remains in their familiar home, preserving their routine and freedom. With dedicated one-to-one support, they gain better value and greater peace of mind compared to the less individualised approach of residential care.
Starting Elder's live-in care can happen very rapidly. Thanks to our nationwide pool of self-employed carers, it's often possible to commence support within 24 hours. For urgent cases, we've proudly facilitated matches and begun care on the very same day.
Elder offers a comprehensive range of home care support, including live-in, respite and visiting care.
Ultimately, all our services are uniquely shaped to perfectly fit your loved one's individual needs.
