Independent Home Care Team

Independent Home Care Team is a home care agency based in London, in the Greenwich 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, people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Independent Homecare Team. The agency has been registered since August 2015.

At its latest inspection, published May 2019, the CQC rated Independent Home Care 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.

Independent Home Care Team has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Greenwich with a rate on record typically charge about £34.95 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

There are 100 registered home care agencies in Greenwich. Others working the same area include Caremark Greenwich, Bluebird Care (Greenwich) and Best Homes Support Limited, 4 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.
