AO Healthcare

AO Healthcare is a home care agency based in Milton Keynes, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Milton Keynes 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 learning disability or autism. It is run by Alexander Owen Consultants. The agency has been registered since August 2021.

At its latest inspection, published June 2023, the CQC rated AO Healthcare 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.

AO Healthcare has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Milton Keynes with a rate on record typically charge about £27 an hour and £1,350 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 164 registered home care agencies in Milton Keynes. Others working the same area include Bestfield Care Ltd, Paratus Partners and Wellness Care Provider, 2 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.
