Active Care Group Supported Services

Active Care Group Supported Services is a home care agency based in Caterham, in the Surrey 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 Caterham office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Active Care, which has 15 branches in England. The agency has been registered since November 2021.

Active Care Group Supported Services 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.
