Not sure how much care is needed?
Answer a few questions and we’ll estimate the hours a week, a visit schedule and a rough cost for care at home in Bromley — in about a minute.
Care agency vs a private carer in Bromley
A private or introductory-agency carer often charges less per hour than a CQC-regulated agency — but the difference pays for cover, vetting and the legal responsibilities the agency carries for you. Here’s how the two compare.
| CQC-regulated agency | Private / introductory carer | |
|---|---|---|
| Regulation | Registered with and inspected by the CQC — a published rating on every profile | Not inspected — an individual carer is not CQC-regulated |
| If your carer is off sick | The agency sends a replacement, so care never stops | You have to arrange emergency cover yourself |
| Employment & tax | The agency employs the carer — pay, tax, pension and insurance are handled for you | You may become the carer’s legal employer, with HMRC, pension and insurance duties |
| Training, DBS & insurance | Carers are trained, DBS-checked and covered by the agency’s insurance | You check training, references and DBS yourself |
| Typical hourly rate | £22–£28 per hour | £15–£19 per hour |
The higher agency rate buys the cover, training and liability an agency carries for you — the reassurance most families want when arranging care for a parent. Every agency listed on this page is registered with the CQC.
Rates are typical UK ranges, not local quotes, and vary by provider, timing and the level of care. Employing a carer directly makes you their employer — check your responsibilities on GOV.UK.
The true cost of care at home vs a care home in Bromley
Families often compare a care-home fee to home-care hours alone — but a care home already includes the room, meals and bills, while staying at home means paying for those on top of the care. Adjust the figures for an illustrative weekly and yearly comparison, and see where a care home becomes the cheaper choice. The care-home figure is prefilled with Bromley's average private fee — adjust any number to match your own quotes.
Care home (£/week)
Household costs total £173/week. Attendance Allowance is a non-means-tested benefit (2026/27 rates £76.70 lower / £114.60 higher per week — check the current rate); it is usually payable whether you stay at home or self-fund a care home, so it is applied to every option below.

Where it changes over
Once the £173/week of household bills are counted, staying at home works out cheaper only up to about 56 hours of care a week. Beyond that, a residential care home — where the bills are already included — usually costs less.
A guide, not a quote
Every figure is an editable estimate. Household bills vary by home and circumstances; live-in care may need two carers for high or overnight needs; and the right choice depends on the level of care needed, not just the total. Always get real quotes and a care-needs assessment before deciding.

Support for staying at home in Bromley
Care at home works best alongside local health services, grants and carer support. These are the main routes to help — home adaptations are administered by Bromley council.
