Sabanu Care

Sabanu Care is a home care agency based in Peterborough, 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 Peterborough 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. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, respite care, children's care and younger adults. The agency has been registered since April 2021.

Sabanu Care has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Sabanu Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Peterborough with a rate on record typically charge about £26 an hour and £1,558 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.

On how it works, the agency says: free assessment and carers drive. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

Others working the same area include Harvest Life Care Ltd, Ndima Healthcare Peterborough and Greenwood Homecare Peterborough, 2 of which have a rate on record.
