Positive Paths Head Office

Positive Paths Head Office is a home care agency based in Shifnal, in the Staffordshire 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 Shifnal office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Positive Paths Healthcare. The agency has been registered since November 2022.

Positive Paths Head Office has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Positive Paths Head Office has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Staffordshire with a rate on record typically charge about £24.80 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.
