Home care in Brierley Hill

There are 14 home care services in Brierley Hill registered with the Care Quality Commission. 9 carry a published CQC rating, and 7 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 5 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 Brierley Hill is arranged by Dudley, which paid providers £19.72 an hour in 2023-24, the 32nd lowest of 150 councils in England and 7% below the £21.19 median.

What Dudley pays for home care

£19.72an hour, 2023-24

The average hourly rate Dudley paid independent agencies for home care it commissioned.

The Homecare Association puts the minimum sustainable price at £34.42 an hour, which is what an agency needs to charge to pay carers lawfully for travel time as well as time in your home. Those two figures cover different years (2023-24 against 2026-27), so treat the gap as indicative rather than exact. Wages have risen since, so the current gap is more likely wider than narrower.
This is not what you would pay. Councils buy in bulk on long contracts. Arranging care privately costs meaningfully more, and part of what a private client pays makes up the difference on the council’s rate.

Home care in Brierley Hill: questions people ask

How much does home care cost in Brierley Hill?
None of the 14 services in Brierley Hill 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. Dudley paid £19.72 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
Will the council pay for home care in Brierley Hill?
Dudley 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 £19.72 an hour in 2023-24, the 32nd lowest 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 home care services in Brierley Hill are rated best?
9 of the 14 services in Brierley Hill carry a published CQC rating and 7 of those, 78%, 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 home care agency in Brierley Hill?
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. 5 of the 14 services in Brierley Hill 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.
