Making The Care Pod Affordable with Attendance Allowance
We have set our session prices so they align closely with Attendance Allowance, the benefit designed to help older people with day-to-day support needs. This means that in most cases, families can use Attendance Allowance to cover the cost of regular visits to The Care Pod.
-
Lower rate Attendance Allowance (£72.65 per week)
-
The Lower Rate Attendance Allowance provides up to 5 hours (10am–3pm including lunch) each week.
-
-
Higher rate Attendance Allowance (£108.55 per week)
-
The Higher Rate Attendance Allowance provides up to 8 hours including lunch over two days each week.
-
By linking our costs to the Attendance Allowance, we aim to keep The Care Pod both accessible and sustainable, giving families peace of mind that specialist dementia and wellbeing support is within reach.
