Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire is a home care agency based in Milton Keynes, 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 Milton Keynes 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Its website lists hourly visits and live-in care. It is run by Vital Healthcare Services. The agency has been registered since July 2021.

At its latest inspection, published March 2023, the CQC rated Buckinghamshire 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.

Buckinghamshire has told us it charges £21 to £25 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £294 a week. That is about 22% below the typical hourly rate in Milton Keynes of £27.

There are 164 registered home care agencies in Milton Keynes. Others working the same area include Hands In Harmony Home Care Services Limited, Call4Care Services Limited and Courtcare Flexi, 2 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.
