Southern Care LTD

Southern Care LTD is a home care agency based in Birmingham, 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 Birmingham 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 and people with a physical disability. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, 24-hour care and younger adults. It is run by Southern Care. The agency has been registered since June 2023.

Southern Care LTD 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.

Southern Care LTD has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Birmingham with a rate on record typically charge about £24.05 an hour and £1,675 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: employs its carers. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
