Beacon Health & Social Care

Beacon Health & Social Care is a home care agency based in Luton, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Luton 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 and people with mental health needs. It is run by BEACON SERVICES+. The agency has been registered since May 2022.

Beacon Health & Social Care 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.
