Age UK Northamptonshire

Age UK Northamptonshire is a home care agency based in Northampton, in the West Northamptonshire 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 Northampton 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Age, which has 15 branches in England. The agency has been registered since March 2011.

At its latest inspection, published November 2025, the CQC rated Age UK Northamptonshire Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve.
