Gold Standard Care Ltd

Gold Standard Care Ltd is a home care agency based in Shifnal, in the Shropshire 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 Shifnal 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Gold Standard Care. The agency has been registered since January 2019.

At its latest inspection, published February 2020, the CQC rated Gold Standard Care Ltd 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.

Gold Standard Care Ltd has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Shropshire with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

There are 81 registered home care agencies in Shropshire. Others working the same area include Win Healthcare Limited, Ideal Home Care and Supreme Homecare Limited, 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.
