Pathways Support

Pathways Support is a home care agency based in Portsmouth, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Portsmouth 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. Its website lists 24-hour care and younger adults. It is run by Bayrose. The agency has been registered since February 2016.

At its latest inspection, published August 2022, the CQC rated Pathways Support 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.

Pathways Support has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Portsmouth with a rate on record typically charge about £25.20 an hour and £1,300 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. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
