There are 14 dementia care services in Tamworth registered with the Care Quality Commission. 10 carry a published CQC rating, and 9 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 4 are unrated, which usually means they have not been inspected since registering rather than that anything is wrong. Privately arranged care is quoted by the hour, and the Homecare Association puts the minimum a provider must charge in 2026-27 at £34.42, or about £481.88 a week for two half-hour visits a day. Adult social care in Tamworth is arranged by Staffordshire, which paid providers £21.80 an hour in 2023-24, the 57th highest of 150 councils in England and 3% above the £21.19 median. That is 14 of the 21 home care services in Tamworth. Registration sets what a service is allowed to provide. It does not say how well it does it, so read the inspection report and ring two or three before you decide.
None of the 14 services in Tamworth have published their rates here yet. Ring two or three and ask. Most will quote over the phone.

Staffordshire paid independent agencies a median of £21.80 an hour for the home care it commissioned in 2023-24, against the £34.42 the Homecare Association says it costs to deliver in 2026-27. What every council pays →
