Bicester Support Service

Bicester Support Service is a home care agency based in Bicester, in the Oxfordshire 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 Bicester office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, 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. It is part of SeeAbility, which has 11 branches in England. The agency has been registered since September 2019.

Bicester Support Service 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.

Bicester Support Service has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Oxfordshire. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
