Care Assist Limited

Care Assist Limited is a home care agency based in Harrow, 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 Harrow 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 mental health needs. It is run by Care Assist. The agency has been registered since February 2012.

Care Assist 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.
