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.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Heroic 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.

Heroic Care Ltd has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Leicestershire with a rate on record typically charge about £29.03 an hour and £1,675 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.

On how it works, the agency says: 60 minute visits, 25 years operating and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
