Freedom Support

Freedom Support is a home care agency based in Market Harborough, in the Leicestershire 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 Market Harborough office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Freedom Support Solutions. The agency has been registered since January 2016.

At its latest inspection, published September 2019, the CQC rated Freedom Support 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.

Freedom Support has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Leicestershire with a rate on record typically charge about £29.03 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 159 registered home care agencies in Leicestershire. Others working the same area include New Horizon Care, Helpful Home Care LTD and MacIntyre Leicester, 1 of which has 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.
