The BIS Services - DCS

The BIS Services - DCS is a home care agency based in Maidstone, in the Kent 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 Maidstone 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 The BIS Services. The agency has been registered since October 2022.

The BIS Services - DCS 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.

The BIS Services - DCS has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Kent with a rate on record typically charge about £25.50 an hour and £1,375 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 383 registered home care agencies in Kent. Others working the same area include Xtracare Ltd, Clece Care Services Ditton and Glorycrown Healthcare Ltd, 1 of which has 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.
