How to pay less
- Ask the council for an occupational therapy assessment; equipment can make mobility assistance quicker
- Book mobility assistance visits outside the busiest morning slots if your routine allows
- Combine mobility assistance with other care tasks in one visit rather than separate calls
Before you book
- Check the mobility assistance agency is registered with CQC, the Care Inspectorate, CIW or RQIA
- Ask whether the carers giving mobility assistance are trained in moving and handling
- Ask when the hoists and slings used for mobility assistance were last serviced and checked
- Share the physiotherapist's or occupational therapist's advice with the mobility assistance team

About £22–£38 an hour, typically £30. Help with walking on weekdays costs least; two-carer hoist transfers at peak times cost most.
Usually thirty minutes to an hour for transfers at home, and longer for outings or appointments.
Often, yes. A council or NHS occupational therapist can assess you for aids and minor adaptations, and councils run grant schemes such as the Disabled Facilities Grant for bigger changes to the home. Ask your council what applies where you live.
Not always, but many agencies send two carers for hoist transfers for safety. The risk assessment decides.
Physiotherapy, equipment hire and home adaptations such as stairlifts are separate costs.
