Barclay Services

Barclay Services is a home care agency based in Leicester, 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 Leicester office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Chartwell Care Services. The agency has been registered since November 2015.

Barclay Services 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.

Barclay Services has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Leicester. 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.
