Home Office

Home Office is a home care agency based in Thirsk, in the North Yorkshire 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 Thirsk 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by Julie's Home Help. The agency has been registered since April 2024.

At its latest inspection, published March 2026, the CQC rated Home Office Inadequate, which means the CQC found the service performing badly and has taken enforcement action. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Home Office has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for North Yorkshire. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care. Ask for a written price list that shows the weekend and bank holiday rates and the shortest visit they will do.
