Deafblind UK

Deafblind UK is a home care agency based in Peterborough, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Peterborough 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Deafblind. The agency has been registered since September 2019.

At its latest inspection, published July 2021, the CQC rated Deafblind UK 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.

Deafblind UK has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Peterborough with a rate on record typically charge about £26 an hour and £1,558 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 115 registered home care agencies in Peterborough. Others working the same area include K2 Care Limited, Total Care Resources Ltd and ST Complete Care Ltd, 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.
