Live-in care starts from £1,100 a week. We'll give you a clear, fixed weekly price after a free assessment, and that's what you pay - no hidden fees.
Care homes in Birmingham are generally cheaper than in London or the South East, so for one person live-in care is often a similar cost rather than a big saving. The difference is what you get: one-to-one care at home instead of shared staff in a new setting. For couples, live-in care is usually much better value.
| Type of care | Typical weekly cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Live-in care (Birmingham Angels) | From £1,100 | One carer, one-to-one, in your own home |
| Residential care home, Birmingham | About £1,250-£1,450 | Shared staff in a care home |
| Nursing home, Birmingham | About £1,370 and up | Shared nursing and care staff |
| Two care home places for a couple | About £2,500-£2,900+ | Two places, shared staff |
Care home figures are typical private fees from 2026 data and vary widely between homes. Specialist dementia and nursing placements usually cost more.
Attendance Allowance (£76.70 or £114.60 a week in 2026/27) isn't means-tested and can go towards care. Your council - such as Birmingham City Council or Solihull Council - can assess needs for free, and when care is at home the value of your house isn't counted. NHS Continuing Healthcare may fund care in full where needs are mainly health needs. Read our funding guide.
