Valley Care Direct

Valley Care Direct is a home care agency based in Hope Valley, in the Derbyshire 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 Hope Valley office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. The agency has been registered since October 2013.

At its latest inspection, published September 2019, the CQC rated Valley Care Direct 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.

Valley Care Direct has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Derbyshire with a rate on record typically charge about £31.25 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.
