Affinity Homecare

Affinity Homecare is a home care agency based in Burntwood, in the Staffordshire 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 Burntwood 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. The agency has been registered since April 2011.

At its latest inspection, published March 2018, the CQC rated Affinity Homecare Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Affinity Homecare has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Staffordshire with a rate on record typically charge about £24.80 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 168 registered home care agencies in Staffordshire. Others working the same area include Nexxus Care (Staffordshire), Home Instead Senior Care and Hadet Healthcare, 2 of which have a rate on record. 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.
