IDG Care

IDG Care is a home care agency based in Northampton, in the West Northamptonshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Northampton 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by Infrastructure Development Group. The agency has been registered since November 2021.

IDG Care has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

IDG Care has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for West Northamptonshire. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
