Bridgewater Home Care

Bridgewater Home Care is a home care agency based in Runcorn, in the Halton 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 Runcorn 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 and younger adults. It is run by Cheshire Lifecare. The agency has been registered since July 2022.

Bridgewater Home 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.

Bridgewater Home Care has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Halton.
