How much does learning disability care cost in Mansfield?

None of the 22 services in Mansfield 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. Nottinghamshire paid £22.20 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.

Will the council pay for learning disability care in Mansfield?

Nottinghamshire 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 £22.20 an hour in 2023-24, the 45th 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 Mansfield are rated best?

6 of the 22 services in Mansfield carry a published CQC rating and 5 of those, 83%, are rated Good or Outstanding. 1 is rated Outstanding, the top grade: Corner House Residential Care Home. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.

Is Mansfield well served for learning disability care?

How do I choose a learning disability care agency in Mansfield?

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. 16 of the 22 services in Mansfield 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.
