Fairway House

Fairway House is a home care agency based in Dereham, 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 Dereham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Link House. The agency has been registered since March 2015.

At its latest inspection, published September 2017, the CQC rated Fairway House 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.

Fairway House 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.

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.
