How much does physical disability care cost in Peterborough?

None of the 121 services in Peterborough 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. Peterborough paid £19.23 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.

Will the council pay for physical disability care in Peterborough?

Peterborough 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 £19.23 an hour in 2023-24, the 25th 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 physical disability care services in Peterborough are rated best?

51 of the 121 services in Peterborough carry a published CQC rating and 49 of those, 96%, are rated Good or Outstanding. That is above the 89% across England. 2 are rated Outstanding, the top grade: Thera East Anglia and Focus Care Supported Living Ltd. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.

Is Peterborough well served for physical disability care?

121 of the 144 home care services in Peterborough are registered to support this, 84%, 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 Peterborough?

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. 70 of the 121 services in Peterborough 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.

Physical disability care in Peterborough

There are 121 physical disability care services in Peterborough registered with the Care Quality Commission. 51 carry a published CQC rating, and 49 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 70 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. The council paid providers £19.23 an hour in 2023-24, the 25th lowest of 150 councils in England and 9% below the £21.19 median. That is 121 of the 144 home care services in Peterborough. 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.
