What is an All-Inclusive Care Home?

When it comes to choosing an all-inclusive care home for yourself or a loved one, one of the first key questions is often ‘What’s included in the price?’.

At Crystal Care Collection, we believe transparency, simplicity, and peace of mind should come as standard — and that’s exactly what our all-inclusive ‘Crystal Clear Pricing’ delivers.

But what does “all-inclusive care” really mean? And why is it such a game-changer for families?

 

What Is All-Inclusive Care?

In traditional care homes, the base fee may cover accommodation, meals, and essential care — but many important services are often billed separately. Over time, extras like hairdressing, physiotherapy, chiropody, social events, or even TV packages can mean some surprising additional costs.

An all-inclusive care home, by contrast, means that one fixed, transparent weekly fee covers everything you or your loved one needs to live comfortably and in style, so you have peace of mind that there are no hidden charges, no unexpected bills, and no compromises.

 

What’s Included in All-Inclusive Care?

While packages vary by provider, at Crystal Care Collection, our Crystal Clear pricing includes:

  • En-suite bedroom, Wi-Fi, smart TV, mini fridge and fitted furniture
  • 24/7 personal care and support
  • All meals and snacks, tailored to individual dietary needs
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Medication management
  • Hairdressing and barber services
  • Chiropody
  • Full calendar of daily activities and entertainment
  • Outings and escorted trips

 

Why An All-Inclusive Care Home Is Worth It

Let’s be honest: care is a big financial commitment. But value isn’t just about the bottom line — it’s about clarity, consistency, and peace of mind. Here’s why all-inclusive pricing makes sense:

  1. No Hidden Extras

With traditional care homes a weekly bill can increase by as much as £400 once extras are added. With all-inclusive, what you see is what you pay — always.

  1. Less stress for you

No more monthly reconciliations, spreadsheets, or awkward conversations about extra charges. Families can focus on what really matters: spending quality time together.

  1. Better Quality of Life

Residents can enjoy everything from a fresh haircut to a trip to the seaside without having to “opt in” or worry about cost. This leads to more engagement, social interaction, and well-being.

  1. Transparent Budgeting

Planning for care — especially when self-funded — is far easier when the costs are stable and predictable. This helps families plan for the long-term with confidence.

 

Why Crystal Care Collection Stands Out

Crystal Care Collection are proud to offer all-inclusive pricing across all our care homes in the UK and Wales, with no small print and no tiered packages. Residents don’t have to ask, “Can I afford this extra?” They just enjoy it — because everything we offer should be part of everyday life.
