Southvale Care

Southvale Care is a home care agency based in Southampton, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Southampton 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. The agency has been registered since January 2021.

At its latest inspection, published November 2022, the CQC rated Southvale 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.

Southvale Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Southampton with a rate on record typically charge about £26 an hour and £1,450 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.
