Intrinsic Care- Canterbury

Intrinsic Care- Canterbury is a home care agency based in Canterbury, in the Kent 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 Canterbury 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. It is part of The Intrinsic Care Group, which has 3 branches in England. The agency has been registered since June 2022.

Intrinsic Care- Canterbury 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.

Intrinsic Care- Canterbury has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Kent with a rate on record typically charge about £25.50 an hour and £1,375 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 383 registered home care agencies in Kent. Others working the same area include Primcura Healthcare Ltd, Kent Home Care Limited and MyLife (Kent), 2 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.
