Origin Spinal Injury Care

Origin Spinal Injury Care is a home care agency based in Lancaster, in the Lancashire 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 Lancaster office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists live-in care, 24-hour care and respite care. It is run by Origin Recruitment. The agency has been registered since January 2011.

At its latest inspection, published October 2018, the CQC rated Origin Spinal Injury 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.

Origin Spinal Injury Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Lancashire with a rate on record typically charge about £25 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, 25 years operating and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

Others working the same area include 1st for Care (GB) Ltd, Home Instead Senior Care Lancaster and Crisis North, 5 of which have a rate on record.
