AIM Homecare West

AIM Homecare West is a home care agency based in Fareham, in the Hampshire 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 Fareham 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 AIM Homecare. The agency has been registered since January 2018.

At its latest inspection, published April 2019, the CQC rated AIM Homecare West 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.

AIM Homecare West has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Hampshire with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour and £1,500 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 331 registered home care agencies in Hampshire. Others working the same area include Home Instead Fareham & Gosport, Hampshire and Crofton Care Partnership, 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.
