Answer a few questions and we’ll estimate the hours a week, a visit schedule and a rough cost for care at home in Pickering — in about a minute.
Every agency here is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Each profile shows the full CQC breakdown — whether the service is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
Visiting care typically costs £22–£30 per hour across the UK. That’s a typical range, not a local quote, so ask each agency for a written quote. For context, North Yorkshire council’s published cost-of-care rate was around £1,086/week (2025). Your home isn’t counted in the means test while care is provided there. North Yorkshire council carries out the free care needs assessment.
