The Leading Care Company

The Leading Care Company is a home care agency based in Slough, in the Buckinghamshire 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 Slough 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mr Kieran Charles Rabbitt. The agency has been registered since October 2016.

At its latest inspection, published December 2017, the CQC rated The Leading 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 Leading Care Company has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Buckinghamshire with a rate on record typically charge about £29.50 an hour and £1,650 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 127 registered home care agencies in Buckinghamshire. Others working the same area include Appleberry Care, Bluebird Care Burnham, Gerrards Cross & High Wycombe and Ambrose Adrian Healthcare, 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.
