NEDCare Charitable Incorporated Organisation

NEDCare Charitable Incorporated Organisation is a home care agency based in Newton Abbot, in the Devon 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 Newton Abbot 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 and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits and end of life care. The agency has been registered since July 2017.

At its latest inspection, published July 2018, the CQC rated NEDCare Charitable Incorporated Organisation 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.

NEDCare Charitable Incorporated Organisation has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Devon with a rate on record typically charge about £37.38 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.

On how it works, the agency says: employs its carers, free assessment, 8 years operating and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 140 registered home care agencies in Devon. Others working the same area include Leypass Ltd, Unicare Devon and Home Instead, 1 of which has 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.
