Clear Pathway Care

Clear Pathway Care is a home care agency based in Poole, in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole 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 Poole 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. Its website lists hourly visits and hospital discharge. The agency has been registered since March 2019.

At its latest inspection, published November 2020, the CQC rated Clear Pathway 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.

Clear Pathway Care has told us it charges £32 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £448 a week. That is close to the typical hourly rate in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

On how it works, the agency says: 30 minute visits and free assessment. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 120 registered home care agencies in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Others working the same area include RS Holistic Care Limited, Bluebird Care Bournemouth & Poole and Maidment Court, 3 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.
