Home & Community Services

Home & Community Services is a home care agency based in London, in the Tower Hamlets 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 London office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is part of Apasen, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since December 2011.

At its latest inspection, published January 2019, the CQC rated Home & Community Services 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 & Community Services has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Tower Hamlets with a rate on record typically charge about £25 an hour and £1,613 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 69 registered home care agencies in Tower Hamlets. Others working the same area include Heed Care Ltd, Care Solution Bureau CIC and Creative Support Limited Duncan Court, 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.
