ORC Care

ORC Care is a home care agency based in Derby, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Derby 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 mental health needs. It is run by ORC Group. The agency has been registered since August 2023.

ORC Care has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

ORC Care has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Derby. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care. Ask for a written price list that shows the weekend and bank holiday rates and the shortest visit they will do.
