The Wilberforce Trust

The Wilberforce Trust is a home care agency based in York, 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 York office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since January 2011.

At its latest inspection, published August 2018, the CQC rated The Wilberforce Trust 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 Wilberforce Trust has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in York with a rate on record typically charge about £32 an hour, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.

Others working the same area include Carefound Home Care (York), Age UK York and York PA and Student Support Limited, 5 of which have a rate on record.
