Companionionship and help at home for older people

​

How it works

I would initially make a free visit you in your home  - with your family members present if you wish  - to discuss your requirements.

​

I believe flexibility is key, so there are no formal contracts, just an understanding that I will fulfil the arrangements that we agree, and that you will pay for them

​

If your needs change, we’ll talk about them and how I can help meet them

​

What it costs

It is entirely up to you to decide how frequently you want my services – a regular arrangement might be easiest to manage for both of us, but I am happy with a more ad-hoc approach if that suits you better

​

I charge a flat rate of £21.00 per hour (for a minimum of 1 hour)

​

This rate apply Monday to Friday, 10.00am to 5.00pm, but I am happy to discuss other hours and rates if required

​

Journeys in my car will incur an additional charge at the HMRC rate of 45p per mile

​

Any other expenses for trips away from your home will also be charged

​

Payments to be paid as agreed, either weekly, monthly or at the end of each visit, by electronic transfer via internet banking, cash or cheque

​

Clients should provide a minimum 3 days notice for cancellations or you may be charged at the standard rate (although this is discretionary and will be dependent on the circumstances of your cancellation). I reserve the right to cancel at any time (although this would only be in an emergency situation and I would always let you know as far in advance as possible)

​

If payment is to be made by someone else, please let me know
