VP Community Care

VP Community Care is a home care agency based in Nottingham, in the Nottinghamshire 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 Nottingham 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, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mr Philip Walters. The agency has been registered since September 2013.

At its latest inspection, published August 2018, the CQC rated VP Community Care 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.

VP Community Care has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Nottinghamshire with a rate on record typically charge about £27 an hour and £1,663 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 193 registered home care agencies in Nottinghamshire. Others working the same area include Blue Sky Care Ltd community services, Grace Healthcare Ltd and Start Service - Mansfield and Ashfield Locality. 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.
