Cathedral House

Cathedral House is a home care agency based in Huddersfield, in the Kirklees 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 Huddersfield 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 and people with mental health needs. It is run by Cathedral House Care Services. The agency has been registered since February 2019.

At its latest inspection, published February 2020, the CQC rated Cathedral House 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.

Cathedral House has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Kirklees with a rate on record typically charge about £26 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
