Funding & Fees

We pride ourselves on providing excellent quality Home Care at competitive prices.


The cost of Home Care will vary depending on the type of care you need, how often you need it, and where you live. We offer everything from 30 minute visits to 24 hour Live-in Care. If you have more complex needs, you may need two Home Carers per visit, so we can provide a cost for this too.


Live-in Care is generally considered to be a cost effective alternative to living in a care home, whilst still providing a level of independence. Everyone’s needs are different so the costs of Live-in Care can vary depending on the level of care required. Unlike other Home Care options, the costs of our Live-in Care remains the same wherever you live across the South of England.


We adapt our Home Care services to suit your specific requirements. Our Home Care costs include a personalised care plan, ensuring your care suits your needs, wishes and budget.


We want to make arranging Home Care as simple and easy as possible. When you contact your local Team, we’ll work with you to design a customised care plan. Once you choose our service, your care plan is kept under constant review so that it continues to suit you.


Your home. Your care. Your choice.

Review from Sarah C (Daughter of Client) published on 16 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff from Alina have been caring for my mother in her home for the past few years. She is now 95 with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. As my mother's health deteriorated, they needed to be more patient and give her more support. They did so, and the managers were very helpful in identifying different
ways in which they (and I) could do this. Latterly the social worker asked for morning and evening visits to help with personal care and medication. My mother was often reluctant for their help which limited what they were able to do, but they did as much as they could, handled her very well and kept me well informed. As the relationship evolved, they supported both my mother and me, and I cannot speak highly enough about them. The managers are experienced and helpful, and staff I had contact with were lovely, I am happy to recommend them to anyone needing personal care for an elderly person on their own.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found all the carers extremely friendly and helpful. Their visit timings are very accurate and they are willing to stay on longer if needed. All of them leave the shower and bathroom very clean and tidy.

Review from Andrew Y (Son of Client) published on 20 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is my pleasure to provide a review for Alina Homecare, Hatfield, who are currently looking after my father by providing three visits daily since Nov 2018. His medical condition is such that he struggles with short term memory together with other issues associated with an 87-year-old.
In my experience,
the team at Alina provide a quality of service that is of an extremely high standard that instils peace of mind for both client and relatives.
The team are always approachable and where necessary receptive to implementing change if required. Alina adopts a telephone check in and out policy and provides legible daily record keeping, essential for traceability.
Without hesitation, I highly recommend Alina Homecare and would suggest that they are the benchmark to follow.
