Calton House Limited

Calton House Limited is a home care agency based in Camborne, in the Cornwall 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 Camborne office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Calton House. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

Calton House Limited 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.
