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 Jacqui S (Daughter of Client) published on 14 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The kindness to my mother and her dignity is paramount.
Extras the company do are they inform me of anything medically, potentially harmful (setting light to kitchen roll) or mentally changing with Mum. If she needs food for the following week, or personal care items, they inform with plenty of time.
At short notice (couple of hours) they will do an extra visit.
Friendly when I call, nothing is a drama.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After reviewing the background of various companies it was clear that this one has a different approach to care and although slightly higher in cost, they are proof that you get what you pay for. The staff have been absolutely fantastic and a vast improvement on a previous company who used agency staff.
All
carers have been absolutely fantastic and it is clear that they genuinely care. There have been a number of challenges thrown up by my mother and a few created by situations (such as a recent cold spell which froze the key safe). On all occasions, they have shown initiative and flexibility in helping me find a resolution. They make my mother feel very comfortable too and I feel like she is in very safe hands. Excellent all around.

Alina Care is a well-led, professional, and dedicated Team. Communication was excellent, the level of care was outstanding, and the staff maintained dignity all the time. All were compassionate and allowed us to keep Mum at home to the very end, as she wanted! The whole team was so supportive of us
as Carers even through the scary bits at the end! We look back at what they did for Mum and us with deep gratitude and joy. I highly recommend Alina.

The care and compassion shown to Mum by all the carers in the past six months have been excellent, enabling us to keep mum living at home with us. Carers showed great understanding as her dementia advanced, they were respectful and continually cheerful. Mum always had a smile on her face when they arrived.
We were very impressed with everyone involved in the management of her care, our requests for changes to visits, additional visits or respite breaks were handled quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend the company.

The carers are all excellent and my grandmother feels like she has become friends with some of them and looks forward to seeing them each day. Her family live quite a long way from where she lives and we think the app is very helpful to keep track of her day and let us know how she is feeling. We have
said it’s very reassuring to be able to know when the carers have been and if there are any concerns we as a family can respond straight away.

All the carers were friendly, approachable and attentive to my wife's needs. They were always happy to chat and check on us both. We built up a rapport with the carers and they were always willing to do extra when her needs increased. It was lovely to have the carers in so that she could stay in her
own home. Good service throughout our time with Alina.

The carers are punctual, kind, polite and respectful not only of Mum but also her home. The same small group of carers visit her, which means she gets to know and trust them. We knew the carers would be good when we met one of them, who is lovely, but also very professional. The detailed notes she
made of the help Mum requires are followed by the carers and are very personal to Mum. We're so pleased that they are helping Mum stay in her own home.

Thank you for such a lovely review, our carers love what they do and this clearly shines through when they are attending the care calls. Our Field Care Supervisor ensures our care plans are person centred. It is a pleasure to support your mum with her care needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It had been a very difficult time deciding on the care needed at home for my husband after he was discharged from hospital. From the very first phone call with the Alina home care team, we were put at ease. A team member came and spoke to me at home to discuss what help we required, what time in the
day was better for us, how many visits a day would be required etc, they listened and answered all my questions (I had a lot), at no time did I feel uncomfortable.
All the carers are very polite and friendly and have been very understanding and kind to my husband (and also me), they always take time with him so he doesn’t feel rushed.
We both are very happy with the care my husband receives from Alina care home and would definitely recommend them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's a difficult time when you have to make a transition from being independent to accepting that you need a little help and extra care but all the lovely ladies at Alina Homecare Horley have been extremely professional, considerate and caring. They have helped my mother-in-law remain living at her
home, as she wishes, for the time being, and for that we are grateful. We particularly like the app which provides us with information on who has visited, when and how they have helped her, it's a wonderful link for us. We really appreciate how attentive Alina are to not just her basic needs but to her mood and how my mother-in-law is feeling. We have recommended Alina to people and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. Excellent service.

The team at Alina Homecare have been very kind and supportive to both myself and my father. I have noticed an improvement in my father's overall wellbeing since using the service and I know he looks forward to the care visits. We have both benefited from the friendly, attentive and professional support

I have found the team at Alina very kind, lovely to speak to, and very discrete if any difficult issues arise. They have the confidence of my mother and have been observant on health issues, keeping in touch as necessary. During Covid times, they have been careful with infection control, and have remained
professional and responsive despite the added pressure that all care teams are under. I live at a distance so it is such a relief to know that someone will see both my parents every morning and will alert me if any action is needed. I am grateful to all the team.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are all tremendously proud to be able to support you and your mother. I know the care workers will be touched when they see your generous comments. I must say how pleased/proud I am being part of such a dedicated team of carers. They are all doing such a wonderful job.

Review from Robert W (Son of Client) published on 1 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alina Homecare's staff have been visiting my father between two and four times a day for the last three months and as well as numerous conversations with their management team regarding routine issues, on several occasions, I have been present when the carers are visiting. In all my contacts, I have
been very impressed by the combination of a professional approach and a genuine caring attitude towards my father and his needs. More than this, I can see over the period my father's mental and physical health have improved at a time when we would reasonably expect a steady decay. Each of the carers seem to have gone out of their way to learn about my father and engage with him in a meaningful and comfortable way. There hasn't been one he hasn't talked positively of. The only minor problem is that visits are sometimes not at the time and with the carer the rota led my father to expect. However, we accept that managing this is a complex task and it is not always possible to be perfect.

I don't know what we would do without the carers that come in and help with the care of my mother, they are very helpful and very kind to my mother. When I ring the office they are very understanding and always willing to help me, my mother spends a lot of time in hospital so when she comes out the
carers are always giving her extra help. I don't know what we would do without them. Thank you.

I am so thankful for Alina Homecare visiting my mother. I was really struggling to manage on my own and felt I was alone dealing with it. When they came to visit me and mum, I was put at ease and they reassured me. We have such wonderful carers who visit and they are always kind, considerate and respectful.
