Care Carers

Care Carers is a home care agency based in Croydon, 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 Croydon 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 and people with a sensory impairment. The agency has been registered since September 2019.

At its latest inspection, published August 2021, the CQC rated Care Carers 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.
