GEP Support Limited

GEP Support Limited is a home care agency based in Manchester, in the Rochdale council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Manchester 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, end of life care, children's care and younger adults. It is run by GEP Support. The agency has been registered since December 2016.

At its latest inspection, published April 2020, the CQC rated GEP Support Limited 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.

GEP Support Limited has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Rochdale with a rate on record typically charge about £25 an hour and £1,613 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.
