Ascon Care Services Limited

Ascon Care Services Limited is a home care agency based in Dunstable, in the Central Bedfordshire 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 Dunstable 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 Ascon Care Services. The agency has been registered since November 2020.

Ascon Care Services Limited 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.
