Symbiotic Homecare

Symbiotic Homecare is a home care agency based in Blackburn, in the Blackburn with Darwen council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Blackburn 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 mental health needs. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, sleeping nights, waking nights and companionship without personal care. It is run by Symbiotic Care. The agency has been registered since January 2025.

Symbiotic Homecare 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.

Symbiotic Homecare has told us it charges from £28.50 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £399 a week.

On how it works, the agency says: employs its carers, 24/7 on-call, free assessment, carers drive, 20 years operating and private clients only. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

There are 37 registered home care agencies in Blackburn with Darwen. Others working the same area include CareYourWay Blackburn, Burnley & Clitheroe, Alcedo Care Central and East Lancashire and AHC Services Ltd TA Alpha Homecare Services, 3 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.
