Care of Choice

Care of Choice is a home care agency based in Sunderland, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Sunderland 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. The agency has been registered since July 2024.

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