Medica Universal Ltd

Medica Universal Ltd is a home care agency based in Southsea, in the Portsmouth council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Southsea 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Medica Universal. The agency has been registered since March 2025.

Medica Universal Ltd 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.

Medica Universal Ltd has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Portsmouth with a rate on record typically charge about £25.20 an hour and £1,300 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 54 registered home care agencies in Portsmouth. Others working the same area include Truevale Care, Ultimate Care Agency Limited and Clientele Care Office, 4 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.
