Inspire Social Care

Inspire Social Care is a home care agency based in Newmarket, in the Suffolk 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 Newmarket 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 physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Inspire Social Care Services. The agency has been registered since April 2020.

At its latest inspection, published February 2022, the CQC rated Inspire Social 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.

Inspire Social Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Suffolk with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour and £1,475 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.

There are 198 registered home care agencies in Suffolk. Others working the same area include 6A Clock Tower Mews, Cambridge Care Company and ROYALE HOMECARE, 3 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.
