LARKSS

LARKSS is a home care agency based in Rochdale, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Rochdale 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 and people with a physical disability. Its website lists hourly visits and live-in care. It is run by LARKSS Care & Recruitment. The agency has been registered since August 2024.

LARKSS 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.

LARKSS has told us it charges from £20 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £280 a week. Live-in care is from £950 a week. That is about 20% below the typical hourly rate in Rochdale of £25.

On how it works, the agency says: 30 minute visits. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

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.
