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.

Alina Care looked after my Aunt for approximately 2 years and proved to be reliable, caring and capable in looking after my Aunt's needs. For the last 18 months of her life they were providing care for 24 hours a day , 7 days a week. They made her comfortable and always responded well to feedback. I
would highly recommend Alina Care to others requiring personal care for a relative.
Reply from Sally Butler, Registered Manager at Alina Homecare Bristol North
Thank you for your lovely review, it was a joy to have known your aunt and the carers thought a lot of her. Our quality of care is always delivered with dignity and respect by our carers.

Alina arranged live in carers for my Aunt over approximately two years.
The majority of selected carers had excellent professional and personal skills, particularily as her needs became more demanding and complex.
Any concerns relating to her care was dealt with quickly. Communication between myself
and the Managers was very good.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family.
One particular carer delivered outstanding care to my Aunt which I communicated to her Managers.

The care given to Mum has been reliable, predictable, caring and friendly from the start, so Mum has felt comfortable and listened to. She has been treated with dignity, kindness and understanding. The continuity of care has been really important and Mum loves her carer, looks forward to the visits,
feels good afterwards. Mum has a renewed zest after the visits. As Mum's carer, I felt great peace of mind once we started with Alina care. The daily reports are helpful and detailed, assisting me with meeting Mum's ongoing needs or informing me about an issue I was unaware of, eg contacting the GP using a photograph. Communication between myself and all carers has been excellent, and I believe this has deepened the overall care Mum receives. The care Mum has received from Alina is both physical and emotional, as there is always kindness and time for a chat. Mum feels safe, and so do I. Thank you.

I'm very housebound nowadays. So occasional outings to meet up with friends and visit beautiful places are a real treat for me.
I went out with my carer from Alina care north Bristol driving us to meet one of my friends and watch a lovely entertainment in the garden of a very old house. It was a
lovely afternoon, with sunshine, good company, music, talk, dancing and ,of course, lovely cakes and drinks made by the Country market ladies.. My Alina carer was helpful throughout and a good driver. I would not have been able to go out without her help.

Alina care stepped in and helped us when were were desperate caring for my dad at the end of his life. Everything took so long to kick in with the NHS care system and my dad was deteriorating faster than we could cope. Every contact with the manager at Alina care was so reassuring. The team acted fast
and were so kind and understanding. We really appreciated their compassion when life was at its hardest. Thank you to everyone.

Right from the "get-go" my husband and I found your North Bristol team wonderful!
We were both in our 80s and finding living in our flat with no help increasingly challenging (Parkinsons & Lymphodema). Through Bristol North we received professional help from upwards of 10 carers at
varying times of day., Some were completely new to the profession but were admirably supervised by the manager and her colleague.
We are now both resident in a Care Home but will always appreciate what Alina Home Care Provider did for us at a difficult juncture.

Mum who lives alone has used Alina Homecare for over a year. The carers have been extremely professional and friendly. The office staff are very quick to reply to my emails and adapt to last-minute requests all the time. Over the last few days, Mum became quite ill and before being taken to the hospital,
the carers changed the usual visiting schedule and came in several times a day to check on her, calling the doctor and finally an ambulance when they felt it was needed. As Mum lives alone, Alina Homecare has given me such peace of mind. I know Mum has been well looked after. I can't thank all the staff enough. I highly recommend Alina Homecare to anyone who needs care and support.

Alina Home Care North Bristol are a really great team of care providers. Their communication is excellent and they demonstrate a genuinely person-centred approach. The office team were great when we needed help and with getting care organized at a really tricky time. They came to see us and talked us
through everything and they were always on hand to answer queries by phone (at all hours). The carers were calm, kind, efficient, considerate and cheery. They looked after Mum (and the cats!) so well and they supported Mum to live in her own home for as long as she could. They made a huge difference to her quality of life, allowing her to be as autonomous as possible in the face of ever-encroaching Parkinson's Disease. Thank you all.

The manager and all the team at Alina were simply outstanding. Right from the get-go, communication was always brilliant and everything was set out in clear and simple terms which was greatly appreciated as there were a lot of plates spinning in our lives at the time when we first approached them. The
carers were lovely and very understanding towards my mum's needs and we always felt as if we were in safe and capable hands.


Alina's carers primarily visited mum during the daytime but after a particularly arduous stretch in the hospital, we took advantage of their 'live-in carer' service. This was brilliant and much-needed! As was typical, everything was arranged very efficiently and the carer herself was an angel. Mum sadly passed not so long ago. Whilst it still hurts to think that she is gone, I am genuinely grateful to the team at North Bristol Alina for caring so brilliantly for my mum as I am sure they made a hugely positive difference to her quality of life in her final months.

Reply from Sally Carter, Registered Manager at Alina Homecare Bristol North

This is a care company that actually CARES. The manager is excellent and goes above and beyond to support her clients and their families. The contrast between this company/branch and many of the others is stark. So many are just not interested and seem desensitised to the human element of care; the
management hides behind rules and regulations. In comparison, the manager is incredibly responsive and adaptable, and her team is skilled and experienced. My dad recently died and I don't know what we'd have done without them in those last days. The support was truly remarkable. I highly recommend Alina Care Bristol North.

I am writing regarding the home care service my relative is receiving from Alina. We are all impressed with the support from everyone involved at Alina. The assessment process was arranged very quickly, was very smooth, sensitive, professional and thorough. One member of staff in particular was just
so reassuring. Carers (mainly two in particular) were identified for my sister-in-law that have built a fantastic relationship and are always very thoughtful and kind. She really values their care and support. Initially she was receiving 3 visits a week. Soon after this needed to be increased to every day and then twice a day. This was all managed so well by the team and the same care workers have remained involved. The consistency of both carers and the timing of visits has been fantastic.
