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. Its website lists hourly visits and live-in care. The agency has been registered since November 2020.

At its latest inspection, published May 2024, the CQC rated First In Care Services 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.

First In Care Services has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Surrey with a rate on record typically charge about £29.50 an hour and £1,500 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.

On how it works, the agency says: employs its carers. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
