Care Resource Bureau Ltd has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Buckinghamshire with a rate on record typically charge about £29.50 an hour and £1,650 a week for live-in care, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

On how it works, the agency says: employs its carers, care within 24 hours, free assessment, carers drive, takes council-funded clients and takes nhs continuing healthcare. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
