Care of Excellence Limited

Care of Excellence Limited is a home care agency based in Ludlow, in the Shropshire council area, 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 Ludlow 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 run by Care of Excellence. The agency has been registered since January 2015.

At its latest inspection, published September 2019, the CQC rated Care of Excellence Limited 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 of Excellence Limited has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Shropshire with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

There are 81 registered home care agencies in Shropshire. Others working the same area include Vision Homes Association Supported Living Services, Your Choice Your Future Ltd and Anchorage Care Group, 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.
