Agencies: the CQC register of active locations (August 2026 file), and each agency's own website for live-in care and prices. PrimeCarers: carers' profiles, October 2026.
2 are rated Requires improvement or Inadequate, and 4 have not been rated yet. Most are based in Swindon (6), Chippenham (4), Salisbury (4) and Trowbridge (3). An agency appears here only if its website describes live-in care in so many words; agencies that mention only “24-hour care” or sleep-in nights are left out.
PrimeCarers
PrimeCarers in Wiltshire: the introductory option
Introductory service. Not a care agency and not CQC registered.
PrimeCarers, an introductory service rather than an agency, has 100 self-employed live-in carers based within about two hours of Wiltshire, at a typical £1,120 a week with our fee included.
- You choose the carer from their profile, rate and reviews, agree the care with them and direct it day to day. We do not employ, supply or supervise carers.
- Each carer sets their own rate. The price you see includes our 12.5% standard fee, with nothing added on top.
- Before a carer appears we check their identity and right to work, and that they hold an enhanced DBS (or PVG or Access NI) issued within the last 2 years, and they complete an online interview. We do not verify qualifications, training or references, so ask about these yourself.
We are listed first because this is our page. The agencies below are in CQC rating order and nothing about them is written by us.

How to choose
How to choose a live-in care provider in Wiltshire
Decide first which model you want. A managed agency is registered with the CQC, employs or contracts the carer, plans and supervises the care, and sends a replacement when the carer is off; you pay for that management in the weekly price. An introductory service such as PrimeCarers introduces you to a self-employed carer you choose and direct yourself, which usually costs less; you agree breaks and cover with the carer, and can find a second carer for the weeks off through the same search. Live-in care providers compared sets out the difference in full.
Questions
Questions about live-in care providers in Wiltshire
21 agencies registered with the CQC to look after older people in Wiltshire say on their website that they offer live-in care, where a carer moves into the home. 0 are rated Outstanding by the CQC and 15 Good. PrimeCarers, an introductory service rather than an agency, has 100 self-employed live-in carers based within about two hours of Wiltshire, at a typical £1,120 a week with our fee included. Every agency is listed on this page with its rating, its own words about live-in care and its website.
Of the 21 agencies, 4 publish a weekly live-in price, counting each provider once. Their starting prices run from £1,216 to £1,675 a week, and the middle one is £1,375. Most quote a starting price for one person with lower needs, so expect a higher quote for a couple, for dementia or for care at night. Through PrimeCarers a typical week in Wiltshire is £1,120, with our 12.5% standard fee included and the carer setting their own rate.
None of the 21 agencies in Wiltshire that say they offer live-in care is rated Outstanding at the moment. 15 are rated Good. Each rating on this page links to the CQC report behind it.
6 of the 17 rated agencies here were last rated more than three years ago, the oldest in 2018, and 4 have no rating yet, usually because they registered recently. A rating stands until the CQC inspects again. The report linked from each row says what inspectors found and when; read the most recent one before you choose.
A managed agency employs or contracts the carer, is registered with the CQC, plans and supervises the care, and finds a replacement when a carer is ill or on a break. An introductory service introduces you to a self-employed carer: you choose them, agree the care with them and direct it day to day, and the carer is responsible for the care they give. PrimeCarers is an introductory service and is not CQC registered. 6 of the agencies on this page say on their website that they employ their carers. Live-in care providers compared goes through what each model means for the price.
Not always. The town shown is where the agency's office is registered with the CQC, not the edge of the area it covers. Most are based in Swindon (6), Chippenham (4), Salisbury (4) and Trowbridge (3). Live-in carers move in, so many agencies will place a carer some distance from their office; ask each one whether they cover your relative's address.
