At its latest inspection, published September 2022, the CQC rated Go Gentle Care 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.

Go Gentle Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Croydon with a rate on record typically charge about £25 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
