Broadleaves

Broadleaves is a home care agency based in Newark, in the Nottinghamshire 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 Newark 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Fosse Healthcare, which has 14 branches in England. The agency has been registered since July 2022.

Broadleaves 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.

Broadleaves has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Nottinghamshire. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
