At its latest inspection, published March 2026, the CQC rated Option Care Ltd 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.

Option Care Ltd has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are.
