7 Byron Road

7 Byron Road is a home care agency based in Gillingham, in the Medway council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Gillingham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Rapha Haven Supported Living. The agency has been registered since May 2022.

7 Byron Road has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
