UniqCare Islington

UniqCare Islington is a home care agency based in London, in the Islington 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 London 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 and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Unique Services Portfolio. The agency has been registered since July 2022.

UniqCare Islington 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.

UniqCare Islington has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Islington with a rate on record typically charge about £24 an hour and £1,350 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 45 registered home care agencies in Islington. Others working the same area include Prime Way Care Ltd (Islington), Supreme Care Services Limited and Smarter Care Provision Ltd, 6 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.
