Funding & Fees

We pride ourselves on providing excellent quality Home Care at competitive prices.
The costs 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 short 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 Ros W (Daughter of Client) published on 30 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am delighted to write such a positive review! My Mum started receiving home support on 1st April and the transition from family help to professional carers has been seamless. The briefing meeting was thorough and covered all her needs. Each morning every carer arrives promptly & cheerfully, and Mum
is delighted to see and chat with each and every one of them. They are very willing to undertake any task that she needs and then enjoy a friendly chat in the kitchen, with is so important to her well-being.
The App is wonderfully reassuring, especially when I am away and unable to visit, as it informs me of how Mum is and everything that has been completed.
I am very impressed with Alina Homecare and would recommend them to anyone seeking support for an elderly parent or relative.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been so impressed with the service and care my mum has received so far since introducing her to Alina Homecare.
The initial face to face meeting with the manager was extremely informative and not rushed so everything was mutually discussed and explained in detail. This reassured me that all
my mum's individual needs would be professionally and sensitively met and this has been the case on every daily visit she has had since 12th March.
The App is such a valuable tool allowing me access to everything actioned, administered and noted regarding her health and well-being on a daily basis.
Mum has had different carers coming in but each one has shown they are aware of her personal needs before arriving and carry out the requested tasks efficiently, professionally and consistently to each other but most importantly in a friendly manner. This has enabled mum to feel comfortable with each carer and allowed her to ease into a very new concept extremely quickly.

I could not have been happier with the service Mum and Dad have received from the Alina Home Care Potters Bar team. The carers who visited did everything I asked for and more. They are very caring, respectful, and professional. I am pleased with how good they were at communicating with Mum and Dad and
how interested they are in what they have to say. I would recommend them to anyone looking for carers who visit during the day to help with tasks that allow a loved one to remain in their own home.

I cannot recommend the Potters Bar Alina care more. Not only were they professional and incredibly kind, the carers went out of their way to make my Mum feel cared for by doing things for her that she didn't need to ask. They all showed a thoughtfulness towards her that was very much appreciated by
me. I must also praise the team coordinating the carers time tables as Mum's care became more. A staff member in particular was so accommodating and helpful. Thank you Alina, I would definitely use your services again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alina Homecare have been looking after my mother-in-law since the end of 2022. The staff are amazing, always helpful, kind and caring. Over recent weeks, my mother-in-law's health has deteriorated and the staff have gone over and above to ensure she has been safe and well cared for.
Changes to medication
have been administered quickly and contact with the office is easy and always actioned.
Special mention to the carer who alerted us to some issues with feet/legs and allowed us to act quickly to prevent discomfort.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Alina Homecare, they ensured peace of mind to us with the care of my mother-in-law.

Review from Leigh S (Nephew of Client) published on 15 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alina Homecare has been looking after my Aunt, who has dementia, for over 3 years. Initially they took care of her needs on a part time basis, but as her condition and health declined we had no hesitation in engaging their services privately. As my aunt's needs increased we were able to increase the
level of care and hours to suit and eventually on a 24/7 basis.
I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Alina Homecare. All the carers that looked after my aunt were professional, respectful and most importantly caring.
A special mention to the care manager who went above and beyond to assist not only my aunt but myself who had absolutely no experience in dealing with anything like this. Her professionalism, organizing and communication skills are amazing.
Inviting strangers into your house or in this case my aunt's is never an easy thing these days, but I have no hesitation in recommending Alina Homecare to look after your nearest and dearest. They truly are the angels among us.

Thank you for your lovely comments about the care your aunt received from our Potters Bar team. It has been a pleasure to provide you with care and support and we will pass on your comments to all the staff, who will be pleased to know that their care had such a positive impact.

Having been put in contact with Alina after my mum's diagnosis of dementia, and using the service for over a year now, I have been greatly impressed by the care, knowledge, and skill of its staff over that period.

I would like to thank Alina Homecare for their exemplary care provided to my mum. We were understandably worried about carers coming in to look after her needs but I must say I was immediately put at ease with their caring approach. She is the most important person in our life and her care and wellbeing
are so important to us so thank you all so very much for making our worries disappear. You have an amazing team.

My elderly mother, who has dementia, has received daily visits from the ladies at Alina Homecare since she broke her hip some months ago. The service has been excellent throughout, from receiving weekly spreadsheets confirming visiting times to the carers themselves. Mum and dad have thoroughly enjoyed
the daily visits and feel they have been given a reason to get up and organised. Many thanks to all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been cared for by Alina for approximately 2 years now. The service we receive from them is second to none, everybody that attends to look after my husband treats him (myself and our daughter) with the greatest respect, they are all always polite, friendly, and very respectful of our home.
After attending to my husband and making sure he is comfortable in his chair, or in the evening in his bed, they make sure everything is put away. They always ask if there is anything else they can do for us before they leave. Alina Homecare provide us with a rota, and if any changes need to be made they inform us. I would highly recommend this company.

Both my Mother and Mother in Law used this service from July 2011 until January 2021. My Mother in Law from July 2011 until August 2018 and my Mother from April 2013 until January 2021. During this time both received excellent care on a daily basis and built up an excellent friendship with all the different
carers. A routine between client and carers was quickly established with the carers willing to help with any problems that may arise. Should any problems arise the manager was always on hand to solve them. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future if I so required.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Alina team that looked after my mum from December 2019 until July 2019 were highly professional, courteous, caring and compassionate. All were very friendly and took pride in their care of Mum. Despite several adversities because of Mum’s advanced dementia, they never lost their rag or compassion.
They always ensured that she was left comfortable, the room in a clean state and kept me appraised at all times.
The training and selection process at Alina has to be complemented. A fair number of carers were relatively young but with great compassion that was admirable in looking after an older patient.
Thanks a lot and it was a pleasure working with your team. Please pass my heartfelt wishes to each and every member of the team.
