A Star Care

A Star Care is a home care agency based in London, in the Hackney 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 London 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 physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by A Star Care Agency. The agency has been registered since September 2023.

A Star Care 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 Star Care has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Hackney. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care. Ask for a written price list that shows the weekend and bank holiday rates and the shortest visit they will do.

There are 40 registered home care agencies in Hackney. Others working the same area include Sun and Shine Care Limited, Innovate Complex Care Services and Aladan Support Services Limited. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care from about £1,120 a week.
