Oxlip House

Oxlip House is a home care agency based in Bury St Edmunds, in the Suffolk 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 Bury St Edmunds office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people. It is part of Orders of St John Care Trust, which has 7 branches in England. The agency has been registered since June 2011.

At its latest inspection, published August 2019, the CQC rated Oxlip House 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.

Oxlip House has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Suffolk with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour and £1,475 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.
