Flourish Homecare

Flourish Homecare is a home care agency based in Par, in the Cornwall 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 Par office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. It is run by David Leslie Smith. The agency has been registered since August 2016.

At its latest inspection, published January 2019, the CQC rated Flourish Homecare 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.

Flourish Homecare has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Cornwall with a rate on record typically charge about £31 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.

There are 111 registered home care agencies in Cornwall. Others working the same area include Home Instead Mid Cornwall, Royalcarehealth Cornwall and Averlea Domiciliary Care, 4 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.
