Learning disability care in Epsom

There are 17 learning disability care services in Epsom registered with the Care Quality Commission. 12 carry a published CQC rating, and 12 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 Epsom is arranged by Surrey, which paid providers £17.86 an hour in 2023-24, the 6th lowest of 150 councils in England and 16% below the £21.19 median. That is 17 of the 27 home care services in Epsom. 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.

Learning disability care in Epsom: questions people ask

How much does learning disability care cost in Epsom?
None of the 17 services in Epsom 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. Surrey paid £17.86 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
Will the council pay for learning disability care in Epsom?
Surrey 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 £17.86 an hour in 2023-24, the 6th 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 learning disability care services in Epsom are rated best?
12 of the 17 services in Epsom carry a published CQC rating and 12 of those, 100%, are rated Good or Outstanding. 3 are rated Outstanding, the top grade: Right at Home Sutton & Mid-Surrey, Home Instead and Home Instead. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.
Is Epsom well served for learning disability care?
17 of the 27 home care services in Epsom are registered to support this, 63%, against 54% across England. That is better served than most places. Registration is permission rather than specialisation, so it sets the size of the list rather than its quality.
How do I choose a learning disability care agency in Epsom?
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 17 services in Epsom 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.
