Access Care Solutions

Access Care Solutions is a home care agency based in Derby, 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 Derby 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. The agency has been registered since November 2020.

At its latest inspection, published November 2022, the CQC rated Access Care Solutions Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
