Private Care Options & Self-Funding with Invercare
Choosing how to fund and arrange home care can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Whether you are looking to arrange care entirely independently or you want to supplement the care you already receive, Invercare is here to help you navigate your options.
As an accredited provider regulated by the Care Inspectorate, we deliver fully personalized, flexible care packages that allow you or your loved one to stay safe, comfortable, and independent at home.
What is Private Home Care?
Private care (often called self-funding) means you or your family arrange and pay for care services directly with us, rather than having your care entirely coordinated by your local council's social work department.
Why Choose Private Care?
-
Complete Control: You choose exactly who comes into your home, what tasks they assist with, and when they visit.
-
No Waiting Lists: Social work assessments can sometimes take weeks or months. Private care can often be implemented much quicker, sometimes within 48 hours for urgent situations.
-
Consistency & Continuity: We focus on matching you with a dedicated caregiver or small team, ensuring you see familiar, friendly faces every day.
-
Flexible Packages: From a single companionship visit a week to round-the-clock live-in care, your plan adapts as your needs change.
