It is part of Retain Healthcare, which has 3 branches in England. The agency has been registered since May 2019.

At its latest inspection, published March 2022, the CQC rated Cheltenham 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.

Cheltenham has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Gloucestershire with a rate on record typically charge about £32.88 an hour and £1,638 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.
