First In Care Services

First In Care Services is a home care agency based in Reigate, in the Surrey 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 Reigate 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 and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since November 2020.

First In Care Services has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

First In Care Services has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Surrey. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care. Ask for a written price list that shows the weekend and bank holiday rates and the shortest visit they will do.
