Sycamore Staffing

Sycamore Staffing is a home care agency based in Basildon, in the Essex 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 Basildon office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a physical disability. It is run by Sams Group. The agency has been registered since November 2023.

Sycamore Staffing 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.

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