DomCare

DomCare is a home care agency based in Birmingham, in the Solihull 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 Birmingham 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, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

At its latest inspection, published December 2022, the CQC rated DomCare 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.

DomCare has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Solihull with a rate on record typically charge about £28.75 an hour and £1,538 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 56 registered home care agencies in Solihull. Others working the same area include Krystal Care Services, Guardian Supported Living Ltd and Care Avenues Limited. 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.
