Common Questions from Suffolk Families
How quickly can live-in care start?
Most families start within 7 days. In urgent cases (hospital discharge from West Suffolk Hospital, Ipswich Hospital and Newmarket Community Hospital), we’ve started care within 48 hours.
What happens when my carer needs a break?
Live-in carers work in rotations — typically 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.
How does pricing work?
Weekly price covers carer time, training, supervision, monthly coordinator visits. Family provides accommodation and food. No agency fees.
Do you do trial periods?
Yes. Most families start with a 4-week placement. If it isn’t the right fit, we’ll match a different carer at no penalty.
Can we get help paying?
Possibly. Suffolk County Council Direct Payments, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance (£300–£480/month), and Section 117 funding can all contribute.
