Figtree Care Services Ltd

Figtree Care Services Ltd is a home care agency based in Dartford, in the Kent 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 Dartford office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

It is run by Figtree Care Services. The agency has been registered since April 2015.

At its latest inspection, published January 2020, the CQC rated Figtree Care Services Ltd 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.

Figtree Care Services Ltd has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Kent with a rate on record typically charge about £25.50 an hour and £1,375 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 383 registered home care agencies in Kent. Others working the same area include The Base Business Park, Vila Homecare and Kaplan Care Dartford. 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.
