Care at Home

Care at Home is a home care agency based in Cheltenham, in the Gloucestershire 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 Cheltenham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Holmleigh Care Homes, which has 4 branches in England. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Care at Home 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.

Care at Home has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Gloucestershire with a rate on record typically charge about £32.88 an hour and £1,638 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 166 registered home care agencies in Gloucestershire. Others working the same area include Windrush Care, Accolade Support and Care Ltd and Bramble Home Care Limited, 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.
