Considerate Home Care

Considerate Home Care is a home care agency based in London, in the Islington 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 London 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 a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since March 2021.

At its latest inspection, published June 2022, the CQC rated Considerate 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.

Considerate Home Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Islington with a rate on record typically charge about £24 an hour and £1,350 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 45 registered home care agencies in Islington. Others working the same area include Eve Care Solutions, Homecare Alliance Ltd and Kulan Care Ltd, 6 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.
