How much does learning disability care cost in Solihull?

None of the 19 services in Solihull 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.

Will the council pay for learning disability care in Solihull?

Your council can arrange and fund care after a needs assessment, which is free and which anyone can ask for. What you pay towards it depends on a separate financial assessment of income and capital. Councils in England paid independent providers an average of £25.05 an hour in 2026-27, against a minimum sustainable price of £34.42, which is why council-funded hours and privately bought hours are often priced differently.
