Home Care Direct

Home Care Direct is a home care agency based in Chesterfield, in the Derbyshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Chesterfield office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is run by Homecare Direct. The agency has been registered since June 2017.

At its latest inspection, published March 2023, the CQC rated Home Care Direct 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.

Home Care Direct has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Derbyshire with a rate on record typically charge about £31.25 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.

There are 145 registered home care agencies in Derbyshire. Others working the same area include WEF Care, Just a Little Company and Serendipity Healthcare Ltd, 2 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.
