Red Rose Care

Red Rose Care is a home care agency based in Preston, in the Lancashire 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 Preston 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, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Richardson Trading. The agency has been registered since August 2013.

At its latest inspection, published December 2020, the CQC rated Red Rose Care 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.

Red Rose Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Lancashire with a rate on record typically charge about £25 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.

There are 262 registered home care agencies in Lancashire. Others working the same area include The Ryan Medical Centre Tender Nursing Care, Angel Care Leyland and Willows Home Care Ltd, 5 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.
