Carers Sitting Service

Carers Sitting Service is a home care agency based in Chesterfield, in the Derbyshire 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 Chesterfield 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, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits and respite care. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

At its latest inspection, published November 2019, the CQC rated Carers Sitting Service 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.

Carers Sitting Service has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Derbyshire with a rate on record typically charge about £31.25 an hour and £1,675 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. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 145 registered home care agencies in Derbyshire. Others working the same area include Agrade Community Care Services Limited, Community Care Line Services and Liaison Care Ltd. 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.
