Doughtys

Doughtys is a home care agency based in Norwich, in the Norfolk 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 Norwich office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people. It is run by Norwich Consolidated Charities. The agency has been registered since March 2025.

At its latest inspection, published January 2019, the CQC rated Doughtys 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.

Doughtys has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Norfolk with a rate on record typically charge about £29.66 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 175 registered home care agencies in Norfolk. Others working the same area include Mimarcare Ltd, Floating Support City and Your Priority Healthcare Limited, 3 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.
