Brunel House

Brunel House is a home care agency based in Faringdon, in the Oxfordshire 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 Faringdon 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 mental health needs. It is run by Trinity Carers Services. The agency has been registered since August 2022.

Brunel House 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.

Brunel House has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Oxfordshire.
