Alder Associates Office

Alder Associates Office is a home care agency based in Whitstable, in the Kent 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 Whitstable office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Alder Associates. The agency has been registered since October 2023.

Alder Associates Office 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.

Alder Associates Office has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Kent with a rate on record typically charge about £25.50 an hour and £1,375 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 383 registered home care agencies in Kent. Others working the same area include Canterbury, Herne Bay and Whitstable, CCK Support Ltd and Your Care, 3 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.
