Transparent support for peace of mind
At Annette @ Birchhouse Care, transparency and flexibility are at the heart of my service. I provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees, giving you the freedom to choose a care schedule tailored perfectly to your needs.
True care is bespoke. To provide you with an accurate reflection of costs, I begin every journey with a personal conversation. I treat each client as an individual, designing care plans that respect both your personal preferences and your health requirements. I would be pleased to arrange a complimentary initial needs assessment to discuss how I can best support you.
Consistent Rates, Seven Days a Week
To keep your billing predictable, my standard care rates remain identical across weekdays, weekends, and standard Bank Holidays.
*Excludes Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.

Tailored Care, Built Around You
Because every individual is unique, care should never be one-size-fits-all. I craft personalised care plans that adapt to your specific routine, preferences, and changing needs.
Transparent, Affordable Support
Choosing specialist home care is often a much more accessible and cost-effective alternative to a residential care home. I believe in complete financial transparency. Once we complete your initial assessment, I will outline your tailored care options with absolute clarity, helping you make the best decision for your family.

Quick Well-being Checks & Medication Prompts
If your loved one simply requires a brief check-in to start or break up their day, I offer focused 15-to-30-minute visits. These are perfect for managing medication prompts—ensuring prescriptions are taken correctly and on time—as well as providing a reassuring well-being check.
To maintain exceptional service quality, these shorter visits are available if your home is within walking distance or if the timing fits smoothly into my active daily schedule.
£10.00 to £20.00
In-Depth Welfare Checks
My 30-minute visits are designed for families who want that extra layer of reassurance. This time allows me to carry out a more thorough welfare check—meaning I can sit down with your loved one, ensure they are entirely comfortable, and assess their immediate home security and well-being needs.
Every visit is adapted smoothly to meet your precise requirements on the day.

Wholesome Lunch & Kitchen Support
My 45-minute visits are the perfect choice for the midday routine. This focused block of time allows me to prepare a fresh, well-balanced lunch tailored entirely to your tastes, monitor nutritional needs, and fully tidy up the kitchen afterwards. It ensures you can sit down to a nutritious and completely enjoyable meal without any of the stress or cleanup.
£18.00 to £30.00
Unhurried, Dignified Personal Care
My 60-minute visits provide a full hour of dedicated, one-on-one attention. This time is ideal for ensuring that most personal care needs can be accomplished safely and with the utmost dignity, even if your loved one has compromised mobility. It allows us to move at a gentle, comfortable pace—whether handling washing, dressing, or transfers—ensuring your loved one never feels rushed or anxious.
£15.00 to £30.00
Dedicated Shopping & Community Support
My 90-minute visits are designed to give us ample, stress-free time to manage your weekly errands. This extended block comfortably accommodates most shopping trips—whether I am visiting local shops on your behalf, taking you out to select your own fresh ingredients, or managing online home deliveries. It is the perfect choice for combining essential grocery tasks with meaningful companionship.

Regular & One-Off Extended Blocks
Care needs aren't always predictable. On occasion, you may want a bit more time to support a special outing, attend an appointment, or simply enjoy an extended period of companionship. I offer the flexibility to book both regular or one-off extended care blocks (60+ minutes).
These longer visits are tailored entirely around your specific requirements and can be arranged smoothly depending on current schedule availability.
