Golden Care Group

Golden Care Group is a home care agency based in Cheadle, in the Stockport 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 Cheadle 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, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. Its website lists 24-hour care and hospital discharge. The agency has been registered since January 2020.

At its latest inspection, published April 2022, the CQC rated Golden Care Group Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Golden Care Group has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Stockport with a rate on record typically charge about £27.73 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

On how it works, the agency says: employs its carers. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 69 registered home care agencies in Stockport. Others working the same area include Deckchair Care, Westwood Homecare (NorthWest) Limited Stockport and True 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.
