Elderly care in Ely

There are 13 elderly care services in Ely registered with the Care Quality Commission. 9 carry a published CQC rating, and 8 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 Ely is arranged by Cambridgeshire, which paid providers £22.00 an hour in 2023-24, the 47th highest of 150 councils in England and 4% above the £21.19 median. That is 13 of the 14 home care services in Ely. 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.

Elderly care in Ely: questions people ask

How much does elderly care cost in Ely?
None of the 13 services in Ely publish a price, so you get a figure by ringing them: most quote by the hour after an assessment. The Homecare Association calculates that a provider needs to charge at least £34.42 an hour in 2026-27 to pay careworkers the statutory minimum for all their working time and run a compliant business. Two half-hour visits a day at that rate is roughly £481.88 a week. Cambridgeshire paid £22.00 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
Will the council pay for elderly care in Ely?
Cambridgeshire can arrange and fund care after a needs assessment, which is free and which anyone can request. What you contribute depends on a separate financial assessment. It paid providers an average of £22.00 an hour in 2023-24, the 47th highest of 150 councils in England. The Homecare Association's minimum sustainable price is £34.42 for 2026-27. Those are different years, so treat the pair as context rather than a like-for-like gap. What a council pays shapes which agencies will take council-funded work at all.
Which elderly care services in Ely are rated best?
9 of the 13 services in Ely carry a published CQC rating and 8 of those, 89%, are rated Good or Outstanding. None is rated Outstanding. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.
How do I choose a elderly care agency in Ely?
Start with what the regulator publishes, then ask what it cannot tell you: who would actually visit, whether it is the same carer each time, what happens when that person is ill, and how long a call really lasts. 4 of the 13 services in Ely carry no published verdict at all, so for those the questions are the only evidence you have. Every service here comes from the public register, and contacting one costs nothing: we take no fee and no commission.
