Care 7 Main Office

Care 7 Main Office is a home care agency based in Crawley, in the West Sussex 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 Crawley 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. Its website lists live-in care, 24-hour care, respite care, hospital discharge and younger adults. It is run by Care7. The agency has been registered since March 2022.

Care 7 Main Office 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.

Care 7 Main Office has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in West Sussex with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour and £1,473 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: employs its carers, care within 7 days, free assessment and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 197 registered home care agencies in West Sussex. Others working the same area include Denise Care Limited, Sylvesters House and Cera Lanehurst Gardens, 3 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.
