A Medin Care Service

A Medin Care Service is a home care agency based in Benfleet, in the Essex council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Benfleet office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since March 2021.

A Medin Care Service has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

A Medin Care Service has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Essex with a rate on record typically charge about £27 an hour and £1,675 a week for live-in care, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

There are 448 registered home care agencies in Essex. Others working the same area include Rankin House, Proactive Medicare and Divine Care Group Ltd. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care typically about £1,120 a week across England.
