Inspire Support Workers

Inspire Support Workers 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, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, sleeping nights, waking nights and 24-hour care. The agency has been registered since November 2017.

At its latest inspection, published May 2020, the CQC rated Inspire Support Workers 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 Support Workers 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.

On how it works, the agency says: 60 minute visits, employs its carers, 24/7 on-call, care within 24 hours, carers drive and 42 years operating. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 100 registered home care agencies in Greenwich. Others working the same area include Aphek Homecare & Supported Living Services, Camsco Care Services Ltd and Star Nursing and Care Services, 1 of which has 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.
