Linday Office

Linday Office is a home care agency based in Birmingham, 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 Birmingham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, end of life care and companionship without personal care. It is run by Linday Multi Services. The agency has been registered since September 2014.

At its latest inspection, published April 2023, the CQC rated Linday Office Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Linday Office has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Birmingham with a rate on record typically charge about £24.05 an hour and £1,675 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: employs its carers, 10 years operating and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 292 registered home care agencies in Birmingham. Others working the same area include Nationwide Care Services (Northfield), Care Avenues Limited and Divine Intervention Home Care Limited, 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.
