Accolade Support and Care Ltd

Accolade Support and Care Ltd is a home care agency based in Cheltenham, in the Gloucestershire 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 Cheltenham 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 and people with a physical disability. It is run by Accolade Support and Care. The agency has been registered since September 2016.

Accolade Support and Care 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.
