GFI@112

GFI@112 is a home care agency based in Oxford, in the Oxfordshire 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 Oxford 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. It is run by Go For It (Respite and Social Care). The agency has been registered since November 2018.

GFI@112 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.

GFI@112 has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Oxfordshire. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
