Home Independence Team

Home Independence Team is a home care agency based in Beaconsfield, in the Buckinghamshire 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 Beaconsfield 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 and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Buckinghamshire Council. The agency has been registered since May 2017.

At its latest inspection, published April 2018, the CQC rated Home Independence Team 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 Independence Team has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Buckinghamshire with a rate on record typically charge about £29.50 an hour and £1,650 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 127 registered home care agencies in Buckinghamshire. Others working the same area include Gold Hill Care, Premier Care Support Ltd and Oxford House Community Care, 3 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.
