Community Support Service

Community Support Service is a home care agency based in Huntingdon, in the Cambridgeshire 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 Huntingdon office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Cambridgeshire County Council, which has 3 branches in England. The agency has been registered since July 2011.

At its latest inspection, published October 2018, the CQC rated Community Support Service 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.

Community Support Service has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Cambridgeshire with a rate on record typically charge about £28 an hour and £1,563 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 134 registered home care agencies in Cambridgeshire. Others working the same area include Alpha Health & Social Care Services Cambridgeshire, FitzRoy Supported Living - Cambridgeshire and Caring Together, 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.
