Fembistem Care

Fembistem Care is a home care agency based in Lancaster, in the Lancashire 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 Lancaster 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. It is run by Fembistem. The agency has been registered since May 2023.

At its latest inspection, published April 2025, the CQC rated Fembistem Care 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.

Fembistem Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Lancashire with a rate on record typically charge about £25 an hour and £1,675 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.
