Oswestry

Oswestry is a home care agency based in Oswestry, in the Shropshire council area, 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 Oswestry 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Approved Care and Support, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since February 2017.

At its latest inspection, published February 2026, the CQC rated Oswestry 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.

Oswestry has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Shropshire with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

There are 81 registered home care agencies in Shropshire. Others working the same area include Bluebird Care Oswestry, Brookland House and Positive Steps Shropshire Limited, 3 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.
