Funding & Pricing
Fair, Transparent Care You Can Trust
Clear, Fair, and Local
At WeCare, we keep our pricing simple and transparent. Our standard rate is £25 per hour, set to ensure high-quality care while paying our carers a fair, real living wage.
Across South Manchester, home care typically ranges between £25–£35 per hour. Our commitment is to keep costs fair without compromising on dignity, safety, or comfort.
💡 Did you know?
Social care in the UK isn’t free. Local councils carry out a means test to see what you can afford to contribute. You’ll usually have around seven weeks to complete the financial assessment, and sometimes—depending on your circumstances—your contribution could be nothing at all.
Personal Budgets: Making Your Funding Work
WeCare works closely with Manchester, Trafford, and Stockport Councils to help clients use their personal budgets effectively. Whether you receive direct payments, a managed budget, or an Individual Service Fund (ISF), we’ll make sure your funding stretches further—tailored to your care needs.
- ✔ Support in setting up your budget
- ✔ Guidance on what your council contributes
- ✔ Flexible services shaped around your package
Live-In Care: Comfort Around the Clock
For those who want peace of mind 24 hours a day, WeCare offers live-in care. In Manchester, the average is £152 per day, with packages tailored from £120–£200 per day depending on needs.
Live-in care provides:
- ✔ Companionship and reassurance at all times
- ✔ Help with meals, personal care, and household tasks
- ✔ Specialist support for complex needs (e.g. dementia)
