The Care Company

The Care Company is a home care agency based in Tenterden, 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 Tenterden 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, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits, live-in care, sleeping nights, waking nights and respite care. It is run by Mrs. Victoria Joan Burke. The agency has been registered since July 2015.

At its latest inspection, published October 2017, the CQC rated The Care Company 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 Company charges £39 to £46 an hour for hourly visits, a figure published on the agency's own website in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £546 a week. That is about 53% above the typical hourly rate in Kent of £25.50.

On how it works, the agency says: 30 minute visits, family app or online notes, free assessment, 18 years operating, weekends cost more, bank holidays cost more and charges for travel. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
