Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is a home care agency based in St Ives, in the Cambridgeshire 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 St Ives 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 and people with a physical disability. It is part of Bloomsbury Home Care, which has 6 branches in England. The agency has been registered since October 2020.

At its latest inspection, published December 2021, the CQC rated Cambridgeshire 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.
