Longeaton

Longeaton is a home care agency based in Nottingham, in the Derbyshire 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 Nottingham 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 and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of SQ Carers, which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since May 2022.

Longeaton 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.

Longeaton has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Derbyshire with a rate on record typically charge about £31.25 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.

There are 145 registered home care agencies in Derbyshire. Others working the same area include Mencap Derbyshire and Derby City Domiciliary Care Agency, Mencap South Notts Services and Caremark (Broxtowe & Erewash), 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.
