Carrington Home Care

Carrington Home Care is a home care agency based in Barnstaple, in the Devon 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 Barnstaple 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mr Richard Anthony Michael Bunce. The agency has been registered since March 2011.

At its latest inspection, published June 2021, the CQC rated Carrington Home Care 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.

Carrington Home Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Devon with a rate on record typically charge about £37.38 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.

There are 140 registered home care agencies in Devon. Others working the same area include MHA Care at Home - Rosetti Branch, Chapter Care (North Devon) Limited and Home Instead North Devon & Exmoor, 1 of which has 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.
