At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Intermediate Care Service 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.

Intermediate Care Service has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Walsall with a rate on record typically charge about £24 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
