Blue Currant Care Agency

Blue Currant Care Agency is a home care agency based in Reading, in the West Berkshire council area, 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 Reading 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Japhet. The agency has been registered since May 2025.

Blue Currant Care Agency 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.
