MC Care

MC Care is a home care agency based in Dartford, 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 Dartford office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia. It is run by MC Care Services. The agency has been registered since May 2020.

At its latest inspection, published November 2022, the CQC rated MC Care 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.

MC Care 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 Your Care Nursing Ltd, Kaplan Care Dartford and Nomase Supported Limited. 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.
