There are 16 mental health care services in Bracknell registered with the Care Quality Commission. 10 carry a published CQC rating, and 7 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 6 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 Bracknell is arranged by Bracknell Forest, which paid providers £20.19 an hour in 2023-24, the 45th lowest of 150 councils in England and 5% below the £21.19 median. That is 16 of the 24 home care services in Bracknell. 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.
None of the 16 services in Bracknell have published their rates here yet. Ring two or three and ask. Most will quote over the phone.
