Ravenscroft House

Ravenscroft House is a home care agency based in Southampton, in the Hampshire 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 Southampton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Achieve Together, which has 20 branches in England. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

At its latest inspection, published November 2019, the CQC rated Ravenscroft 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.

Ravenscroft House has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Hampshire with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour and £1,500 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 331 registered home care agencies in Hampshire. Others working the same area include We Care Together Southampton, Good Oaks Southampton and Winchester and Clece Care Services Southampton Branch, 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.
