Cambrian

Cambrian is a home care agency based in Wirral, 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 Wirral 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 a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Cambrian Supported Living. The agency has been registered since November 2013.

At its latest inspection, published October 2019, the CQC rated Cambrian Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
