Ability Options Ltd

Ability Options Ltd is a home care agency based in Huddersfield, in the Kirklees council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Huddersfield office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Ability Options. The agency has been registered since March 2022.

Ability Options Ltd 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.
