Caritas Healthcare Ltd

Caritas Healthcare Ltd is a home care agency based in Preston, in the Lancashire 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 Preston 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 and people with mental health needs. It is run by Caritas Healthcare. The agency has been registered since April 2024.

Caritas Healthcare Ltd 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.

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