Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire is a home care agency based in Bourne, in the Lincolnshire 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 Bourne 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 part of Bloomsbury Home Care, which has 6 branches in England. The agency has been registered since November 2016.

At its latest inspection, published May 2019, the CQC rated Lincolnshire 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.

Lincolnshire has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Lincolnshire with a rate on record typically charge about £26.12 an hour and £1,460 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 118 registered home care agencies in Lincolnshire. Others working the same area include Wright Care at Home, Libertas Stamford & Bourne and Compleat Care (UK) Limited, 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.
