Activo Care

Activo Care is a home care agency based in Birmingham, 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 Birmingham 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 a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since March 2019.

Activo 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.

Activo Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Birmingham with a rate on record typically charge about £24.05 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 292 registered home care agencies in Birmingham. Others working the same area include Care2Home Ltd, 301 Vicarage Road and Care Avenues Limited. 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.
