Burrow Down Community Support

Burrow Down Community Support is a home care agency based in Paignton, in the Torbay council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Paignton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Burrow Down Support Services. The agency has been registered since July 2015.

At its latest inspection, published April 2026, the CQC rated Burrow Down Community Support Inadequate, which means the CQC found the service performing badly and has taken enforcement action. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
