Learning disability care in Hove

There are 15 learning disability care services in Hove registered with the Care Quality Commission. 12 carry a published CQC rating, and 11 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 3 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 Hove is arranged by Brighton and Hove, which paid providers £21.78 an hour in 2023-24, the 59th highest of 150 councils in England and 3% above the £21.19 median. That is 15 of the 28 home care services in Hove. 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 Hove: questions people ask

How much does learning disability care cost in Hove?
None of the 15 services in Hove 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. Brighton and Hove paid £21.78 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
Will the council pay for learning disability care in Hove?
Brighton and Hove 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 £21.78 an hour in 2023-24, the 59th 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 learning disability care services in Hove are rated best?
12 of the 15 services in Hove carry a published CQC rating and 11 of those, 92%, 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.
Is Hove well served for learning disability care?
15 of the 28 home care services in Hove are registered to support this, 54%, against 54% across England. That is about average. 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 Hove?
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. 3 of the 15 services in Hove 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.
