Diligent Care Services

Diligent Care Services 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 and people with a learning disability or autism. The agency has been registered since August 2011.

At its latest inspection, published March 2018, the CQC rated Diligent Care Services 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.

Diligent Care Services 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 Creative Support Limited London Services, Radfield Home Care - Camden, Islington & Haringey and Eve Care Solutions, 5 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.
