Horsforth

Horsforth is a home care agency based in Leeds, 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 Leeds 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 part of Elmar Home Care, which has 4 branches in England. The agency has been registered since November 2018.

At its latest inspection, published July 2023, the CQC rated Horsforth Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Horsforth has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Leeds with a rate on record typically charge about £25.50 an hour and £1,439 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 228 registered home care agencies in Leeds. Others working the same area include Local Homecare, Green Pastures Services Limited and Leeds, 4 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.
