What home care costs in Shefford
Visiting care typically costs £22–£30 per hour across the UK. That’s a typical range, not a local quote, so ask each agency for a written quote. For context, Central Bedfordshire council’s published cost-of-care rate was around £1,008/week (2025). Your home isn’t counted in the means test while care is provided there. Central Bedfordshire council carries out the free care needs assessment.
