How much does physical disability care cost in the Basingstoke and Deane council area?

Agencies in the Basingstoke and Deane council area quote by the hour after an assessment, so there is no single price. 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. Hampshire paid £23.97 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.

Will the council pay for physical disability care in the Basingstoke and Deane council area?

Hampshire 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 £23.97 an hour in 2023-24, the 26th 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.

Is the Basingstoke and Deane council area well served for physical disability care?

44 of the 50 home care services in the Basingstoke and Deane council area are registered to support this, 88%, against 80% 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 physical disability care agency in the Basingstoke and Deane 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. 23 of the 44 services in the Basingstoke and Deane 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.
