Carefocal Ltd

Carefocal Ltd is a home care agency based in Erith, in the Bexley 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 Erith 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 Carefocal. The agency has been registered since April 2020.

At its latest inspection, published April 2022, the CQC rated Carefocal Ltd Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Carefocal Ltd has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Bexley with a rate on record typically charge about £23.75 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
