Care Assistance

Care Assistance is a home care agency based in Rotherham, 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 Rotherham 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, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Mrs Jean Chedalavada David-John. The agency has been registered since December 2015.

At its latest inspection, published December 2022, the CQC rated Care Assistance 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.
