Central Hampshire DCA

Central Hampshire DCA is a home care agency based in Fareham, in the Hampshire 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 Fareham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of The Avenues Trust, which has 8 branches in England. The agency has been registered since October 2023.

Central Hampshire DCA 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.

Central Hampshire DCA has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Hampshire with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour and £1,500 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 331 registered home care agencies in Hampshire. Others working the same area include Daniel's Special Care Ltd, Canaan Healthcare Group Limited and Home Instead Fareham & Gosport, 2 of which have 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.
