Riverstone Healthcare Partners

Riverstone Healthcare Partners is a home care agency based in Chigwell, in the Essex 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 Chigwell 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 and people with mental health needs. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, end of life care and companionship without personal care. The agency has been registered since February 2026.

At its latest inspection, published January 2020, the CQC rated Riverstone Healthcare Partners 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.

Riverstone Healthcare Partners has told us it charges £29 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £406 a week. That is about 7% above the typical hourly rate in Essex of £27.

On how it works, the agency says: 60 minute visits, employs its carers, care within 24 hours, free assessment, male or female carer on request and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 448 registered home care agencies in Essex. Others working the same area include Main Office, Petals Care Agency Limited and De Vere Care Partnership, 1 of which has 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.
