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 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.
