Hippo Care Limited

Hippo Care Limited is a home care agency based in Slough, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Slough 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 and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits and live-in care. It is run by Hippo Care. The agency has been registered since May 2022.

At its latest inspection, published January 2026, the CQC rated Hippo Care Limited 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.

Hippo Care Limited has told us it charges £23 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £322 a week. Live-in care is from £1,500 a week.

On how it works, the agency says: 30 minute visits. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
