MSS Care

MSS Care is a home care agency based in Falmouth, in the Cornwall 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 Falmouth office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia. It is run by Martin Senior Support. The agency has been registered since September 2024.

At its latest inspection, published February 2019, the CQC rated MSS Care Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

MSS Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Cornwall with a rate on record typically charge about £31 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 111 registered home care agencies in Cornwall. Others working the same area include Loyal Bee Care, Right Nurse Care Services and Havencare Cornwall, 2 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.
