Hampshire

Hampshire 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, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Auckland Care. The agency has been registered since April 2016.

At its latest inspection, published May 2023, the CQC rated Hampshire Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Hampshire 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, Royal Mencap Society Central Hampshire and Hampshire, 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.
