Illum Health

Illum Health is a home care agency based in London, in the Camden 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 registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. It is run by Flanelol. The agency has been registered since September 2023.

Illum Health 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.

Illum Health has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Camden. 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.

There are 45 registered home care agencies in Camden. Others working the same area include Gospel Oak Court, Open House Care Ltd and Rather Home Care 169-171 Queens Crescent. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care from about £1,120 a week.
