The Care Advantage

The Care Advantage is a home care agency based in Ilford, in the Redbridge 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 Ilford office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since August 2022.

At its latest inspection, published April 2026, the CQC rated The Care Advantage 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.

The Care Advantage has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Redbridge with a rate on record typically charge about £25 an hour and £1,050 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 122 registered home care agencies in Redbridge. Others working the same area include Main Office, Everycare Romford and Spire Home Care & Training, 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.
