Altair Healthcare Limited

Altair Healthcare Limited is a home care agency based in Okehampton, in the Devon 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 Okehampton 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. It is run by Altair Healthcare. The agency has been registered since February 2023.

Altair Healthcare Limited 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.

Altair Healthcare Limited has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Devon with a rate on record typically charge about £37.38 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 140 registered home care agencies in Devon. Others working the same area include Moorcare Devon Limited, Leypass Ltd and Complete Care & Support Ltd, 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.
