Positive Care Link

Positive Care Link is a home care agency based in London, in the Tower Hamlets 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 London 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. The agency has been registered since January 2011.

At its latest inspection, published December 2022, the CQC rated Positive Care Link 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.

Positive Care Link has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Tower Hamlets with a rate on record typically charge about £25 an hour and £1,613 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.

There are 69 registered home care agencies in Tower Hamlets. Others working the same area include Alternative Care Services Limited, City and County Healthcare Group Tower Hamlets and Tower Hamlets Reablement Service, 4 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.
