Mickle Hill

Mickle Hill is a home care agency based in Pickering, in the North Yorkshire 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 Pickering 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 part of Rangeford Care, which has 4 branches in England. The agency has been registered since November 2021.

At its latest inspection, published May 2023, the CQC rated Mickle Hill 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.

Mickle Hill has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in North Yorkshire with a rate on record typically charge about £31.44 an hour and £1,504 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.
