Care Plus

Care Plus is a home care agency based in Stafford, in the Staffordshire council area, 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 Stafford office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia. It is run by The Housing Plus Group. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

At its latest inspection, published February 2018, the CQC rated Care Plus 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.
