FDR Social Care

FDR Social Care is a home care agency based in Northampton, in the West Northamptonshire 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 Northampton 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, 24-hour care, end of life care and companionship without personal care. The agency has been registered since February 2022.

At its latest inspection, published December 2024, the CQC rated FDR Social Care 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.

FDR Social Care has told us it charges £17.50 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £245 a week. Live-in care is £1,150 a week. That is about 20% below the typical hourly rate in West Northamptonshire of £21.75.

On how it works, the agency says: 120 minute visits, care within 5 days, free assessment and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 162 registered home care agencies in West Northamptonshire. Others working the same area include Multicare Community Services Northampton Ltd, Age UK Northamptonshire and The Cube Disability Ltd, 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.
