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 K F (Friend of Client) published on 19 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely pleased with my experience of Alina Homecare in Christchrch, Dorset. After carefully selecting this agency myself from reading other reviews, I can say that the staff who have visited my elderly female friend have been trustworthy and kind. It seemed necessary to ask for more support
visits. A comprehensive assessment was carried out initially with me present. At first she was unsure of meeting new staff but now looks forward to having them call to see her.
From my point of view I am reassured to know that when there are health or safety issues I am always notified and can then deal with those immediately. The managers are approachable, reliable and tailor the care package as required. Several times they have spoken to me, face to face or by phone. Online notifications list the staff due to attend in advance.
Very satisfied with Alina Homecare. They give me peace of mind.

Albeit short and sweet, only 2 weeks while my mother took a holiday with us, I can not fault the care and attention she received while here from the staff at Alina Homecare. We would definitely use their services in the future, and I, as the daughter, can only thank the staff for their understanding
and the wonderful care they gave my mother while she was here; nothing was too much bother. Again, thank you.

We are new clients and are very happy with the care given to my father. When there is a change in carer/time we are always advised.
The friendly office staff are always ready to help and when we had an issue this was dealt with.

Appreciate the care provided by the individuals visiting Mum, she was put at ease and given comfort and company daily.
Having a parent with Dementia is horrible but knowing Mum was taking her medication correctly has been a great relief.
Thanks to all.

Review from K J (Daughter of Client) published on 21 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was urgently admitted into hospital following a fall at home. This left my father at home on his own, not able to fully cope. Alina carers already came in each day for an hour but this needed to drastically increase to all day. Alina took everything off my hands in terms of quickly and
effectively ensuring that carers went in to see my father from first thing in the day to bedtime. Carers were very responsive to Dad's requests and needs in a very respectful way and took him to see Mum in hospital regularly. She was in hospital for 2 weeks. Throughout this time, I was in constant contact with Alina about care for Dad, but also to arrange care for Mum on coming out of hospital. Alina was superb and a lifeline. Since then, they have continued to provide good care for Mum and Dad, although the hours needed are not as intense now. Alina staff are always easy to get hold of and helpful with any issues swiftly resolved. I would very much recommend them.

Review from Lisa H (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 16 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was worried about my father-in-law, who was living alone since his wife went into care, and was 2 hours remote from the nearest family and struggling with dementia. I did an online search and spoke to several care companies. Alina were by far the most attentive, friendly and willing of all those we
met. They were great listeners, were flexible to changing needs, and showed interest in hobbies and memories to help lift my father-in-law's mood at each visit. Alina were consistent, reliable, and did everything that was asked of them, in fact, my father-in-law put on weight and was far healthier and happy as a result of his regular visits with lovely helpful, friendly and thorough carers. Office staff were wonderful, always welcoming, helpful and also reliable, and any concerns were always quickly resolved. Alina were a great long-term care choice, and I would definitely recommend them without hesitation.

Alina helped me get out of the hospital. I am in a lot of pain with my legs. The carers are very helpful and always happy which helps my mood for the rest of the day. I would highly recommend Aline to anyone who needs care. Without my carers, I would struggle in the morning. The carers are very dedicated.

Our carer genuinely makes a difference helping my Dad who has Alzheimer's. This makes a massive difference to my Mum who would otherwise be doing this, and she's over 80. So the help makes her quality of life better. I'd wholeheartedly recommend our carer (I'm not allowed to use her name in this review).
And say a personal thank you for making a real difference to the quality of both my Mum and Dad's lives. Indeed, all the team at Alina Christchurch are lovely people.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.962 for Alina Homecare Christchurch is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 53 Ratings = 4.962

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Alina Homecare Christchurch is based on 9 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4.9
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
