Minster Homecare

Minster Homecare is a home care agency based in York, 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 York 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 a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Minster Home Care. The agency has been registered since March 2021.

At its latest inspection, published December 2025, the CQC rated Minster Homecare 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.

Minster Homecare has told us it charges £39 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £546 a week. That is about 22% above the typical hourly rate in York of £32.

On how it works, the agency says: 30 minute visits and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
