It most likely works within about 16 miles of its Slough office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us.

The agency has been registered since April 2015.

At its latest inspection, published April 2020, the CQC rated Better Life Care Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
