Home care in the Hounslow council area
There are 78 home care services in the Hounslow council area registered with the Care Quality Commission. 26 carry a published CQC rating, and 24 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 52 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. The council paid providers £21.65 an hour in 2023-24, the 64th highest of 150 councils in England and 2% above the £21.19 median. Your council decides what care you are entitled to and what it pays towards, so this is the area that matters for funding.

For comparison, the Homecare Association puts the minimum sustainable price at £34.42 an hour for 2026-27. That covers careworker pay at the statutory minimum for all working time including travel, mileage, wage-related costs, and the minimum cost of running a compliant care business.
What Hounslow pays for home care
£21.65an hour, 2023-24
The average hourly rate Hounslow 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 Hounslow: questions people ask
- How much does home care cost in the Hounslow council area?
- None of the 78 services in the Hounslow council area 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. Hounslow paid £21.65 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
- Will the council pay for home care in the Hounslow council area?
- Hounslow 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 £21.65 an hour in 2023-24, the 64th 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 home care services in the Hounslow council area are rated best?
- 26 of the 78 services in the Hounslow council area carry a published CQC rating and 24 of those, 92%, are rated Good or Outstanding. That is above the 89% across England. 1 is rated Outstanding, the top grade: St Micheal Care Limited t/a HomeInstead Senior Care. 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 the Hounslow council area?
- 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. 52 of the 78 services in the Hounslow council area 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.
