Prospers

Prospers is a home care agency based in Tilbury, in the Thurrock council area, 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 Tilbury 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 run by Starz Care. The agency has been registered since March 2024.

At its latest inspection, published March 2021, the CQC rated Prospers 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.

Prospers has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Thurrock with a rate on record typically charge about £25 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
