Ainscough Associates

Ainscough Associates is a home care agency based in Hove, in the Brighton and Hove 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 Hove office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since November 2021.

Ainscough Associates 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.

Ainscough Associates has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Brighton and Hove. 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.
