Joining hands healthcare

Joining hands healthcare is a home care agency based in Cambridge, in the Cambridgeshire 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 Cambridge 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 sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits and 24-hour care. It is part of Joining Hands, which has 3 branches in England. The agency has been registered since May 2023.

Joining hands healthcare 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.

Joining hands healthcare has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Cambridgeshire with a rate on record typically charge about £28 an hour and £1,563 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.

On how it works, the agency says: 24/7 on-call. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 134 registered home care agencies in Cambridgeshire. Others working the same area include Compassionate Heart, Fuchsia Homecare Cambridge and Better Home Care. 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.
