Selective Care

Selective Care is a home care agency based in Fareham, in the Hampshire 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 Fareham 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Selective Recruitment. The agency has been registered since November 2012.

At its latest inspection, published October 2025, the CQC rated Selective 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.

Selective Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Hampshire with a rate on record typically charge about £30 an hour and £1,500 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 331 registered home care agencies in Hampshire. Others working the same area include Canaan Healthcare Group Limited, Daniel's Special Care Ltd and Home Instead Fareham & Gosport, 2 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.
