Afya Care

Afya Care is a home care agency based in Bristol, in the South Gloucestershire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Bristol 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since August 2020.

At its latest inspection, published August 2024, the CQC rated Afya Care 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.

Afya Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in South Gloucestershire with a rate on record typically charge about £28 an hour and £1,613 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 78 registered home care agencies in South Gloucestershire. Others working the same area include Care Managers Ltd, Care with Patience and Leaf Complex Care, 1 of which has 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.
