Core1Care

Core1Care is a home care agency based in Bristol, in the South Gloucestershire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Bristol 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 and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since January 2023.

Core1Care 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.

Core1Care has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for South Gloucestershire. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care. Ask for a written price list that shows the weekend and bank holiday rates and the shortest visit they will do.

There are 78 registered home care agencies in South Gloucestershire. Others working the same area include Aspirations Support Bristol, Alex C&C Healthcare Ltd and Hillview Care Services Limited. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care from about £1,120 a week.
