Better Families Social Work Services Ltd

Better Families Social Work Services Ltd is a home care agency based in Gravesend, in the Kent 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 Gravesend 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 and people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Better Families Social Work Services. The agency has been registered since May 2024.

Better Families Social Work Services 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.
