Physical disability care in St. Austell

There are 13 physical disability care services in St. Austell registered with the Care Quality Commission. 9 carry a published CQC rating, and 9 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 4 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 St. Austell is arranged by Cornwall, which paid providers £24.00 an hour in 2023-24, the 25th highest of 150 councils in England and 13% above the £21.19 median. That is 13 of the 18 home care services in St. Austell. 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.

Physical disability care in St. Austell: questions people ask

How much does physical disability care cost in St. Austell?
None of the 13 services in St. Austell 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. Cornwall paid £24.00 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
Will the council pay for physical disability care in St. Austell?
Cornwall 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 £24.00 an hour in 2023-24, the 25th 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 physical disability care services in St. Austell are rated best?
9 of the 13 services in St. Austell carry a published CQC rating and 9 of those, 100%, 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.
How do I choose a physical disability care agency in St. Austell?
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. 4 of the 13 services in St. Austell 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.
