Depax Care

Depax Care is a home care agency based in Sheffield, 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 Sheffield 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. It is run by Depax. The agency has been registered since June 2018.

At its latest inspection, published May 2022, the CQC rated Depax 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.

Depax Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Sheffield with a rate on record typically charge about £25.32 an hour and £1,488 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 130 registered home care agencies in Sheffield. Others working the same area include Custom Home Care, Ali Gibson Support Limited and Holistic Homecare 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.
