CARAH Care

CARAH Care is a home care agency based in Liverpool, 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 Liverpool 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 mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Care and Rehab at Home. The agency has been registered since November 2019.

At its latest inspection, published August 2022, the CQC rated CARAH Care 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.
