How much does dementia care cost in Tilbury?

None of the 18 services in Tilbury publish a price, so you get a figure by ringing them: most quote by the hour after an assessment. The Homecare Association calculates that a provider needs to charge at least £34.42 an hour in 2026-27 to pay careworkers the statutory minimum for all their working time and run a compliant business. Two half-hour visits a day at that rate is roughly £481.88 a week. Thurrock paid £20.58 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.

Will the council pay for dementia care in Tilbury?

Thurrock can arrange and fund care after a needs assessment, which is free and which anyone can request. What you contribute depends on a separate financial assessment. It paid providers an average of £20.58 an hour in 2023-24, the 57th lowest of 150 councils in England. The Homecare Association's minimum sustainable price is £34.42 for 2026-27. Those are different years, so treat the pair as context rather than a like-for-like gap. What a council pays shapes which agencies will take council-funded work at all.

Which dementia care services in Tilbury are rated best?

9 of the 18 services in Tilbury carry a published CQC rating and 9 of those, 100%, are rated Good or Outstanding. None is rated Outstanding. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.

Is Tilbury well served for dementia care?

18 of the 20 home care services in Tilbury are registered to support this, 90%, against 74% across England. That is better served than most places. Registration is permission rather than specialisation, so it sets the size of the list rather than its quality.

How do I choose a dementia care agency in Tilbury?

Start with what the regulator publishes, then ask what it cannot tell you: who would actually visit, whether it is the same carer each time, what happens when that person is ill, and how long a call really lasts. 9 of the 18 services in Tilbury carry no published verdict at all, so for those the questions are the only evidence you have. Every service here comes from the public register, and contacting one costs nothing: we take no fee and no commission.
