Midlands Care Direct

Midlands Care Direct is a home care agency based in Leicester, in the Leicestershire 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 Leicester 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 learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since October 2019.

At its latest inspection, published July 2026, the CQC rated Midlands Care Direct 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.

Midlands Care Direct has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Leicestershire with a rate on record typically charge about £29.03 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.

There are 159 registered home care agencies in Leicestershire. Others working the same area include Mosaic 1898 LTD, Merrydays Care Services Ltd and Evolving Care Ltd Leicester, 3 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.
