Destiny healthcare

Destiny healthcare is a home care agency based in Dorchester, in the Dorset 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 Dorchester office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. It is run by DESTINY HEALTHCARE PRIVATE. The agency has been registered since October 2024.

Destiny healthcare 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.

Destiny healthcare has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Dorset. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
