Likely fees
We estimate visits from EJC Group at £30–£37 an hour (visiting care, weekdays), based on published prices in the region. As an example, an hour each morning and a 30-minute evening call comes to about £350 a week.
For live-in care, expect around £1,450–£1,770 a week in this region.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), North Northamptonshire Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
EJC Group over the years
CQC registration dates from February 2020, so the service has been operating for around 6 years under its current registration.
CQC has published 2 overall ratings for it (2017–2022), starting at Good and staying Good every time.
No new overall rating has been published for 4 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
