Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is a home care agency based in St Ives, in the Cambridgeshire 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 St Ives 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 and people with a physical disability. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, 24-hour care, end of life care and companionship without personal care. It is part of Bloomsbury Home Care, which has 6 branches in England. The agency has been registered since October 2020.

At its latest inspection, published December 2021, the CQC rated Cambridgeshire 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.

Cambridgeshire has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Cambridgeshire with a rate on record typically charge about £28 an hour and £1,563 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.

On how it works, the agency says: family app or online notes and carers drive. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 134 registered home care agencies in Cambridgeshire. Others working the same area include Caring Together, FitzRoy Supported Living - Cambridgeshire and Alpha Health & Social Care Services Cambridgeshire, 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.
