U&I

U&I is a home care agency based in Leicester, in the Leicestershire 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 Leicester office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. It is run by Kerala Ayurveda Centre. The agency has been registered since November 2023.

U&I 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.

U&I has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Leicestershire with a rate on record typically charge about £29.03 an hour and £1,675 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 159 registered home care agencies in Leicestershire. Others working the same area include Life4ever H.C.S Ltd, Mi Life Care Services Limited and Walfinch Leicester & Loughborough, 4 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.
