Home Instead Senior Care

Home Instead Senior Care is a home care agency based in Blackpool, in the Lancashire 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 Blackpool 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 learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is part of Home Instead, which has 145 branches in England. The agency has been registered since November 2015.

At its latest inspection, published May 2019, the CQC rated Home Instead Senior Care 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 Instead Senior Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Lancashire with a rate on record typically charge about £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.
