South

South 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 and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Yorhealth (Complex Care), which has 2 branches in England. The agency has been registered since February 2022.

South 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.

South 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.
